Michael Hurley will not play against GWS after failing to overcome a knee complaint.

The defender sustained the injury against Port Adelaide a fortnight ago.

Alex Browne comes in to the squad to replace Hurley.

The final 22 will be announced at 5pm tonight.

Hurley has been in excellent form this season averaging 21 disposals and seven marks per game.

Despite missing last week, Hurley is ranked third for rebounds from the defensive 50 and seventh for marks in the AFL this season.
