Connor O’Sullivan, Shannon Neale and Zach Tuohy have made way for the return of captain Patrick Dangerfield, veteran forward Tom Hawkins and defender Jake Kolodjashnij ahead of Saturday night’s clash with the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba.
The Cats have also welcomed back big man Toby Conway among four changes, replacing Rhys Stanley.
Stanley and Tuohy have been listed as managed for the second time in three weeks after sitting out the Easter Monday win over Hawthorn.

Neale, who kicked a career-high three goals in last week’s win over North Melbourne, and debutant O’Sullvan have been dropped.
Dangerfield hasn’t played since suffering a hamstring injury late in the Round 2 win over Adelaide on March 22, while Hawkins and Kolodjashnij were managed out of the 75-point victory over the Roos.
