Sydney have made a late change with Mitch Morton replacing Tommy Walsh for their qualifying final against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.

Former Tiger and Eagle Morton has managed just two games in his first season at the Swans but has got the nod ahead of Irishman Walsh, who failed to impress last week against Geelong.

Adelaide will go into the match as selected with Graham Johncock taking his place in the side despite rumours surrounding hit fitness on Friday.

Aidan Riley is the Crows' substitute, while Luke Parker will don the green vest for the Swans.
