Gold Coast SUNS skipper Gary Ablett heads a list of five inclusions for Saturday nights QClash2 against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba.

Ablett missed last weeks game against his former side with hamstring soreness but looks to have proved his fitness to tackle the Lions. Ablett’s final challenge will be to get through Friday morning’s training session at Metricon Stadium.

Also joining Ablett in the GC SUNS line up is Dion Prestia, Matt Shaw, Joey Day and Charlie Dixon.

Campbell Brown will miss the remainder of the season after he broke his pelvis as will Jeremy Taylor, who requires surgery for a groin complaint. Daniel Harris will also miss with a groin injury, Rory Thompson misses out due to an illness while Hayden Jolly has been omitted.
