Gold Coast have made a late change ahead of their final match of the season against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.

Jesse Joyce will miss the game with a back injury, and has been replaced in the 22 by midfielder Michael Rischitelli.

Joyce has played 17 matches in his second season at the club.

Rischitelli will come in for his fourth match of the year, after returning from a serious knee injury in round 17 against Collingwood.

Port Adelaide will line up as named.
