Stuart Dew and his match committee will need to make at least two changes to the side that will take on the Lions in QClash16 on Saturday night at Metricon Stadium.

Classy backman Pearce Hanley and midfielder Will Brodie will come out of the side after sustaining season-ending hamstring injuries last week against the Tigers.

Rory Thompson (hamstring) is a strong chance to return from injury after two weeks on the sidelines while Sean Lemmens (hand) will be working to prove his fitness this week.

Josh Schoenfeld will be a contender to replace Brodie, racking up 42 touches, 21 kicks and six tackles in the NEAFL last week.

Jacob Dawson was another who was solid through the midfield in the NEAFL, collecting 34 disposals and putting his hand up for another possible senior selection.   

Jack Scrimshaw, Max Spencer and Michael Barlow have also all performed strongly in the NEAFL over the last several rounds and will be considered for selection.
