Sydney and Brisbane have named their teams for Saturday’s AFL grand final.
There have been no last-minute surprises, with both sides going in as predicted.
The Swans are unchanged from their preliminary final win over Port Adelaide, having already ruled captain Callum Mills out.

The Lions have made one change, with Darcy Fort replacing ruck Oscar McInerney, who was ruled out after suffering a serious shoulder injury during the preliminary final win over Geelong.
Fort has played just two senior games this year, but is a ready-made replacement to lead the ruck.
Mills suffered a hamstring injury following the qualifying final win over GWS, but had been pushing to return for the premiership decider.
However, Mills was delivered the heart-wrenching news on Wednesday after coach John Longmire opted not to risk him, which will be just 18 days after he suffered a hamstring strain.
Dane Rampe is poised to step up as skipper in the absence of Mills.
Mills isn’t the only heartbreak story at the Swans with Taylor Adams also missing out.
Adams, who missed last year’s grand final at Collingwood through injury, was dropped on the eve of the finals.
The veteran hasn’t even been included in the emergencies.
Aaron Francis, Peter Ladhams and Caiden Cleary are the three on standby for the Swans, while Harry Sharp, Henry Smith and Darragh Joyce are three emergencies for Brisbane.
