After a thrilling victory over cross-town rival the GWS Giants, the Sydney Swans VFL side is back on the road this week. Damian Truslove has named his team to take on North Melbourne at Arden Street Oval, and no doubt will be hunting for a second consecutive win. 

19-year-old draftee Indhi Kirk returns to the side after suffering a concussion in Round 5 against Hawthorn. He  joins the likes of Luke Parker, Peter Ladhams and Braeden Campbell to form a dangerous midfield. 

The team, however, will feel the absence of Angus Sheldrick and Jack Buller who are sidelined with injury. Aaron Francis and Caleb Mitchell will also be missed as they travel to Perth with the senior team. It is set to be Francis' first AFL match this season. 

James Lugsdin will be one to watch after he booted four goals against GWS alongside Joel Hamling who kicked three. Caiden Cleary enjoyed another consistent performance last week with 25 disposals and four tackles. 

It is expected to be a close contest against the Kangaroos on Saturday with two premiership points separating the teams. The Swans kicked off the season in strong fashion with a 41-point win over the Coburg Lions. In Round 4 they drew with reigning premiers, the Gold Coast Suns before snatching a 10-point win over the Giants. 

Round 7 will take place at Arden Street Oval in Melbourne from 12:05pm tomorrow, Saturday May 11.
