Brisbane Lions Boosted by Injury Returns Ahead of Hawthorn Clash

The Brisbane Lions are preparing for a crucial match against Hawthorn, benefiting from the return of several players from injury. This comes after a disappointing performance against Carlton, marking a significant moment in their season.

Hugh McCluggage, Ryan Lester, and Logan Morris participated fully in training, enhancing their chances of selection for the upcoming game. Defender Darcy Gardiner also returned to training after a long absence due to a hamstring issue, aiming to strengthen the team's defense.

On the other hand, the Adelaide Crows are managing player fitness as they prepare for their match against Richmond. Callum Ah Chee is expected to be available after precautionary management, while James Peatling and Sam Berry are listed as tests for the game. Rory Laird is also pushing to return from a low-grade injury, and scans revealed no damage to James Borlase's hamstring.
