The Sydney Swans have named a fifth debutant for the season with ruckman Darcy Cameron being named to take on the Gold Coast Suns on Saturday afternoon. 

Captain Josh Kennedy has been named to play despite suffering back spasms last week with just the one change seeing Cameron come into the side for Dan Robinson (omitted).

The 23-year-old was selected by the Swans with pick 48 in the 2016 National Draft and has shown strong form in the NEAFL all season.

Cameron has played as a key forward/ruck this season kicking 19 goals to go along with an average of 19 disposals and 34 hit outs.

Coach John Longmire said the mature aged recruit had worked hard for his opportunity.

“He has been playing in our reserves for quite a while now at a really high level and a really consistent level,” Longmire told QBE Team Selection.

“Darcy is able to mark the ball as a tall forward or go into the middle and into the ruck as well so he has some versatility about him.

“He has really earnt his spot which is really good for him.”

Longmire said Kennedy took part in training on Thursday completing all that was required form him to prove his fitness.

“He didn’t start training but that was always the plan,” Longmire said.

“He went for a run and felt really good and then was able to finish off the rest of the training drills so he jumped into the session and got through it.

“If he pulls up well we expect him to play.”
