Geelong has named midfielder Corey Enright for just his third match since round 12, after he was brought back into the side at the expense of forward Charlie Gardiner for Friday night's semi-final clash with Sydney at the SCG.
Enright started the season in terrific style, before succumbing to a knee injury, which sidelined him from rounds 13 to 17. He returned for two matches in rounds 18 and 19, but has not played since due to a shoulder injury.
Gardiner, recalled for Geelong's second elimination final win over Melbourne - his first match since round 15 - is an emergency. Geelong has named David Johnson and Shannon Byrnes as emergencies for the third successive week.
The field umpires are Stuart Wenn, Shaun Ryan and Darren Goldspink.
The winner of the clash will play St Kilda in the first preliminary final on Friday 16 September at the MCG.
Sydney has made its first change at the selection table since round 19, having recalled defender Paul Bevan with promoted rookie-list forward Luke Vogels being left out.
Vogels, selected in last December's NAB AFL Rookie Draft from Terang-Mortlake in the Hampden League, has played 11 matches this season - including the past six in-a-row - but has been relegated to an emergency.
Joining Vogels as the Swans' emergencies are midfielder Nick Malceski and defender Andrew Schauble.
It will be Adam Schneider's 50th AFL match for the Swans.
