The SUNS match committee have finalised the 22 to take on Richmond at the MCG on Sunday, with hard-nosed defender Sean Lemmens confirmed on the interchange after missing last week with a rib injury.
Mackenzie Willis and Keegan Brooksby have been culled from the 25-man squad and will be the side’s emergencies along with wingman Matt Shaw.
As reported in Thursday’s UBET Team Announcement, Trent McKenzie, Rory Thompson and Sam Day have all been named after missing multiple weeks with injury with their inclusion significantly boosting the SUNS’ defensive stocks.
Rebounding defender Kade Kolodjashnij plays his 50th AFL game after being selected with pick No. 5 in the 2013 national draft.
