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.
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.
