Brisbane Lions recall Jared Polec for clash against Gold Coast Suns

BRISBANE have recalled midfielder Jared Polec to help fill the void left by the suspension of Daniel Rich against Gold Coast.

BRISBANE has recalled midfielder Jared Polec to help fill the void left by the suspension of Daniel Rich for Saturday's QClash IV against Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium.

Polec and Ryan Lester have replaced Rich and Patrick Karnezis (omitted) in the Lions' side that will be gunning for three straight wins in Queensland derby games.

Rich has been Brisbane's best player in 2012 and will leave a significant hole in the Lions' line-up.

But Polec - who was taken with the no.5 pick in the 2010 draft - has the run and left boot to minimise the damage left by the two-match ban handed to Rich for pushing Saint Clint Jones into the boundary fence last weekend.

Meanwhile, the Suns have called up key forward Tom Lynch and midfielder/forward Luke Russell at the expense of Danny Stanley (suspended) and Aaron Hall (omitted).

Lynch kicked seven goals in the Suns reserves last week and has been injected into the Gold Coast side to expose the lack of height in the Brisbane backline.
