The three undersized players replace three talls; Ben McKay, Zach Reid and Kyle Langford, who are all out injured.
The Lions are unchanged from their thumping win over Hawthorn last weekend.
Ruck Oscar McInerney will miss again as he manages some soreness, while defender Keidean Coleman is also absent again.
The talented half-back made his return from an ACL injury against Melbourne two weeks ago, but has now missed two games in a row due to swelling in his reconstructed knee.
“His knee has swelled up after his first game. That’s not unusual,” coach Chris Fagan said on Wednesday.
“Scans didn’t reveal anything, it’s just a reaction to more stress and more effort. He’s improved, but not enough to play.
“We expect him to be OK in the next week or two.”
