The Gold Coast SUNS have made three changes to the team to take on Collingwood at the Gabba on Monday night.

Jarrod Harbrow returns to the side after overcoming a shoulder injury, replacing Connor Budarick who will miss the remaining two games of the season with a fractured collarbone, as reported earlier this week in the Qscan Injury Update.

Sean Lemmens is also back to face the Magpies, replacing first-year forward Sam Flanders in the side.

Ben Ainsworth will miss the match with illness and has been replaced by Nick Holman.

Brayden Fiorini, Sam Flanders, Peter Wright and Zac Smith have been named as emergencies.

The team is coming off a five-day break after the QClash in Round 16, but SUNS Senior Coach Stuart Dew said it was a good chance for the players to test themselves against another finals contender in Collingwood.

"It's a great opportunity to play on some quality players who are very experienced but also we'd love to put a dent in their finals aspirations," Dew said

"We want to see our intensity back - we lacked that last week so we need to see some real intent and physicality."

The match against Collingwood gets underway at 7:10pm and will be broadcast on 7mate (check your local guide), Fox Footy, Kayo and the AFL Live Official App.
