ST KILDA and Geelong have each made one change ahead of Sunday's Docklands blockbuster in the final teams announced for round 14.

The Saints have opted to bring in Raphael Clarke for Max Hudghton who injured his ankle against Richmond last week.

Robert Eddy, James Gwilt and Luke Miles were all included in the 25-man squad named on Thursday, but drop back to the emergency list.

The Cats have recalled small forward Mathew Stokes after losing defender David Johnson to a calf injury in last Sunday's win over the Power.

David Wojcinski, Ryan Gamble and Simon Hogan are the emergencies.

The Sydney Swans have settled on three changes for Sunday's clash with the Kangaroos at the SCG.

Craig Bolton and Jarrad McVeigh went straight into the starting 18 when the initial squads were announced while utility Nick Malceski has also forced his way into the line-up.

The trio comes in to replace the suspended Barry Hall and dropped pair Jesse White and Kristin Thornton. Luke Ablett and Mike Pyke were also named in the 25-man squad, but remain on standby with White.

North Melbourne has gone for some extra height by bringing in ruckman Todd Goldstein to replace the unlucky Ben Warren who has already suffered a broken cheekbone this season and followed that up with a fractured leg last week.

Lindsay Thomas could not force his way back into the side despite overcoming illness and is an emergency along with Sam Power and Josh Smith.

Fremantle has recalled Kepler Bradley and Clayton Hinkley for Sunday's match with the Blues at Subiaco.

Freo will miss injured skipper Matthew Pavlich while Dean Solomon must cool his heels on the sidelines after copping a club-imposed one-match ban.

Daniel Gilmore, Adam Campbell and Ryan Murphy are the emergencies.

Carlton made five changes to the side unexpectedly thumped by the Bombers last week.

Bret Thornton, Jordan Russell and Jeff Garlett were all named in the starting 18 on Thursday, but Chris Johnson and Greg Bentley have also earned recalls.

Cameron Cloke and Chris Yarran were included in the initial squad, but drop back to the emergency list with Joe Anderson.

Nick Stevens was the most high-profile casualty from the 69-point loss with Heath Scotland, Jordan Bannister and Steven Browne also omitted.

Paul Bower is out with a knee injury.
