AFL grand final teams: Collingwood young gun Jack Ginnivan set to start in decider

Collingwood youngster Jack Ginnivan has been elevated into the club's 22 for the AFL grand final against Brisbane on Saturday.

Ginnivan had fallen out of favour at the Magpies this season, resulting in him being the sub for the side's qualifying final and preliminary final.

The Magpies have made two changes with Ginnivan joining the 22 and tall Billy Frampton replacing injured key forward Dan McStay.

Brisbane defender Jack Payne has failed in his bid to start in the decider, with coach Chris Fagan opting to stick with Darcy Gardiner in an unchanged 22.

Collingwood midfielder Patrick Lipinksi has copped awful luck on the brink of the grand final, going from being a member of the Magpies' 22 for 13 straight games to being the sub.

"He [Frampton] can play second ruck so he gives us good flexibility for the team," said Magpies coach Craig McRae.

"For every heartache story [McStay's injury] there's an opportunity and Bill gets that."

Collingwood footy boss Graham Wright said Lipinski would influence the game despite being named as the Magpies' sub.

"Pat's elite running ability will no doubt inject energy into the game and we look forward to seeing him make an impact on Saturday," Wright said.

The grand final will double as milestone games for Collingwood defender Darcy Moore and Brisbane midfielder Dayne Zorko, who'll play their 150th and 250th matches respectively.
