Simon Black

BRISBANE star Simon Black is set to ditch the lime green substitute's vest and take his place in the Lions' starting side for Saturday night's clash with Carlton at Etihad Stadium.

After training with the main group on Wednesday, Black was tonight named in Brisbane's on-ball division for the clash with the Blues.

He was shock selection as the Lions' sub against Richmond last weekend due to concerns over a lingering knee injury and played just over a quarter of football.

Brisbane has named vice-captain Daniel Merrett is in his traditional position of fullback after spending most of the year in the forward line. Ex-Hawk Jordan Lisle has been named at full-forward and will share then ruck duties.

The Lions made four changes to the side beaten by the Tigers last Saturday with Matt Maguire, Ryan Lester, Claye Beams and Rohan Bewick coming into the squad for Patrick Karnezis (omitted), Jack Crisp (omitted), Elliot Yeo (omitted) and Josh Drummond (general soreness).

Meanwhile, the Gold Coast has made six forced changes for the wooden spoon showdown with GWS at Metricon Stadium on Saturday.

Karmichael Hunt (shoulder), Michael Rischitelli (knee), Luke Russell (shoulder), Zac Smith (ankle), Dion Prestia (hamstring) and Sam Day (foot) all suffered injuries in last week's loss to Melbourne and will be replaced by Queensland rookie Jackson Allen, Aaron Hall, Steve May, Kyal Horsley, Danny Stanley and Jeremy Taylor.

The mercurial Jared Brennan did not train on Wednesday but is expected to take his place in the Suns' line-up.

HAWTHORN superstar Lance Franklin will miss his fifth match with a torn hamstring, cutting his finals preparation short and jeopardising his Coleman medal hopes.

Franklin was again left out of the Hawks' squad ahead of their clash with a battling Port Adelaide.

The Hawks recalled Max Bailey, while Xavier Ellis is in the match to return from a knee injury after being named on an extended bench.

Collingwood recalled premiership star Alan Didak to replace suspended Brownlow medallist Dane Swan, while Chris Tarrant and Marty Clarke will also bolster the Pies.

Tyson Goldsack (ankle) and Tom Young were omitted.

Geelong named Paul Chapman despite talk the star forward was battling a hamstring injury, but the Cats lost Josh Hunt (quad), James Kelly (groin) and Billie Smedts (calf) ahead of their clash with West Coast tomorrow night.

Cats coach Chris Scott again overlooked speedster David Wojcinski, while Norm Smith medallist Andrew Embley will return for the Eagles.

Carlton's calf victims Andrew Walker and Mitch Robinson were both named to face Brisbane Lions on Saturday night, along with classy left-foot rookie Rhys O'Keefe.

Matthew Watson returns after 23 booming touches in the VFL, replacing hamstrung defender Michael Jamison.

Essendon will replace hamstrung pair Jason Winderlich and Ben Howlett with returning victims from its soft-tissue injury curse.

The Bombers recalled Angus Monfries, Stewart Crameri, Michael Hibberd and Dustin Fletcher from injury, while Brendan Lee and David Hille were also included and named on an extended bench.
