Brisbane veteran Dayne Zorko has been ruled out for another six weeks with a quad injury but star GWS defender Sam Taylor is set to play his first AFL match of the year after recovering from his State of Origin hamstring tear.
In other big round 12 selection news, Sydney lost captain Callum Mills to a calf niggle and decided to rest ruckman Brodie Grundy, Jacob Weitering is back for Carlton, and Bulldogs ruckman Tim English is over his concussion.
Zorko has missed the past fortnight with a quad niggle, and fresh scans have revealed more damage than the initial injury, ruling him out for up to six weeks.
"He felt sore again at training last week, and scans have revealed he's got more damage there than he's got previously," Lions coach Chris Fagan said.
