IN THE only Saturday night game, Sydney meets Adelaide at the SCG in a crucial clash.

The Swans have struggled this year and at 4-7 desperately need a win if they are to keep their finals chances alive.

Adelaide is in the top-four conversation after improving to 7-4 thanks to a thrashing of West Coast last week.

The Crows are in good form after winning three of their past four games.

Sydney has omitted Ollie Florent, ending his streak of 130 successive games, while captain Callum Mills is suspended and Sam Wicks is out injured. Justin McInerney returns from suspension, as does Lewis Melican, with Caleb Mitchell recalled.

The Crows will be without Rory Laird (managed) and Zac Taylor (omitted), but veterans Brodie Smith and Taylor Walker come into the side.
