Fire up SUNS fans, Charlie Ballard is set to make his long-awaited return to the AFL field after 370 days on the sidelines with an ACL injury.

The key defender is one of two changes locked in to take on Richmond at the MCG on Saturday and will be eager to be a part of the SUNS hot start to the season.

SUNS fans will also be excited to see Bailey Humphery back in action after his electric Opening Round performance. The 21-year-old missed last week’s match due to hamstring tightness.

The pair step into the side in place of Oscar Adams and Jy Farrar who have both been omitted.

Cheer on the SUNS from 12:15pm AEST with a Digital Membership to catch all the action live across Fox Footy and Kayo at a discounted rate. A delayed broadcast will be available for Queenslanders to view on 7mate and 7plus from 2:00pm AEST.
