GWS forward Devon Smith has been left out of the Giants' 22 to face Adelaide in their Qualifying Final clash at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday night.
Giants coach Leon Cameron confirmed Smith will miss with a knee injury, as he has not recovered from soreness in time for Thursday's final.
LC: Devon Smith won't play this week. He's got some knee soreness which he just hasn't got over after the Geelong game.

The Giants touched down in South Australia on Wednesday afternoon without Smith, which means veteran forward Steve Johnson could face the Crows, after talk all week suggesting he would be dropped for the final.
Smith has only managed 16 games this season and has kicked just 15 goals, his lowest tally since his debut year.
