Sydney Swans coach John Longmire has confirmed three changes for our match against Brisbane Lions on Friday night, with mid-season draftee Jack Buller set to make his AFL debut.

199cm key forward, Buller made a scintillating start to his career in the red and white with a five-goal performance in the VFL last weekend - inspiring the Swans to their first victory of the season.

The 22-year-old comes into the side for Lance Franklin (knee soreness), while co-captain Luke Parker will make a welcome return after missing Round 13 due to suspension, whilst the side will also be without Isaac Heeney (concussion).

Meanwhile, Joel Amartey, who was last week's substitute, will come into the 22 in place of Ryan Clarke (omitted).

"Jack Buller hasn't been here for long but he's playing his first game which is great for the team," Senior Coach John Longmire said.

"We thought he did a great job last week. It was only his first game but he was a real presence in the forward half in the VFL.

"He's a competitor, and can play forward and in the ruck, if required."

Longmire said the club are embracing the opportunity to take on the Lions in enemy territory, and are determined to deliver a strong brand of contested football.

"We have to make sure we're strong in the contest (as) they're a really strong contested-ball team," Longmire said.

"We have to be strong in that space and make the most of our chances - get the ball forward when we can and make sure it stays as much it can out of their forward line, because they have some very strong forward.

"We're looking forward to the challenge."
