The Gold Coast SUNS have made one change ahead of the clubs final match of the 2012 season against the Adelaide Crows at AAMI stadium on Saturday.

The match selection committee have recalled Jeremy Taylor to the starting side in place of Josh Toy after he was forced from the side to play Carlton last week with an abdominal strain.

Taylor replaces Josh Toy who has been relegated to the emergency list for the GC SUNS final match of the 2012 campaign.

Mathew Warnock will complete an impressive debut season for the Gold Coast when he lines up in his twenty third successive match, but faces a tough afternoon in the City of churches as he attempts to stem the scoring ability of Crows power forwards Kurt Tippet or Taylor Walker.

Taylor Hine has been named on the wing for Saturdays contest and continues to impress the Clubs Coaches.

After struggling to find a spot in the Senior side in 2011 and during the first half of 2012, Hine has made the most of the late season opportunities presented to him, the gutsy defender stringing together five consistent performances since round eighteen to earn his crack at the Crows.

Kyal Horsley, Jacob Gilbee, Maverick Weller and Tom Hickey will start from the bench with Jolly, Iles and Toy the emergencies.
