BRISBANE midfielder Hugh McCluggage has been ruled out of Sunday's clash with Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval with hamstring tightness.
The Power have also been forced into a very late change, with utility Dan Houston out with illness, replaced by midfield bull Sam Powell-Pepper.

Ben Keays comes into the side for McCluggage.
Losing McCluggage, who is averaging 22.9 disposals per game, is a huge blow for the Lions, who are already without key forward Eric Hipwood (knee) and veteran Luke Hodge (managed).
Power ruckman Scott Lycett has been cleared to play after passing a fitness test on his injured knee.
