callum Ah Chee and Darcy Gardiner return for the Brisbane Lions as they host Port Adelaide at the Gabba on Saturday night.

The key pair, who both missed the Lions’ win over Geelong in Round 15 due to illness, give coach Chris Fagan two versatile options to have at his disposal.

Gardiner looks set to start in defence after being named at full back, while Ah Chee is listed on the interchange.

Rounding out the bench for Brisbane is Kai Lohmann, Levi Ashcroft, Sam Day and Darcy Wilmot.

While going out of the side is young forward Will McLachlan and utility Bruce Reville who are emergencies for the match alongside ruckman Oscar McInerney.

The Lions take on Port Adelaide at the Gabba on Saturday with the first bounce scheduled for 7:35pm and will be broadcast live on Fox Footy and Kayo.
