The Sydney Swans VFLW side will host North Melbourne this Saturday, April 13 in Round Four of the Rebel VFLW competition.
Following a commanding 62-point victory over the Western Bulldogs last week, Sydney Swans AFLW senior coach Scott Gowans has named another strong line up for the upcoming clash.
Gowans has made five changes to his line up, with AFLW listed players Chloe Molloy, Bella Smith, Sofia Hurley, Alice Mitchell and VFLW train on player Brooke Bailey called into the side. They replace Abbey Martin, Lisa Steane, Alana Woodward, Lauren Szigeti and Senna Gulden.
"The most pleasing thing for me was we played as a team and we wanted to work on our connection,” AFLW senior coach Scott Gowans said after the side's victory last week.
“We are well aware we are playing VFLW, but you have to start somewhere and I am really happy with that performance as our base.”
