Conor McKenna and Jack Payne will return among three Brisbane Lions changes for their massive AFL QClash against Gold Coast.

The Suns are unchanged for the round eight game at the Gabba.

Will McLachlan is also back for the home side, who lost Kai Lohmann (shoulder) and Logan Morris as James Tunstill was dropped.

Brisbane and Gold Coast are two of the league's in-form teams heading into Sunday night's match.

The Swans will host GWS on Sunday afternoon in Sydney's derby and they have made three changes apiece.

Jake Riccardi has a hand injury and is out of the Giants line-up, while Josh Kelly will miss with a hip problem and Conor Stone has been dropped.

GWS academy rookie Josiah Delana will make his AFL debut. Callum Brown and Joe Fonti are the other inclusions.

Cam McKenzie (hand fracture) is out of Hawthorn's side for their 100th-anniversary game against Richmond on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.

They also lost Karl Amon and Jack Scrimshaw to concussion, including Finn Maginness, Luke Breust and Changkuoth Jiath.

The Tigers' Noah Balta will return and Campbell Gray is out of their line-up.
