John Longmire's team will remain unchanged after last week's victory in Sydney Derby XXVIII. The Sydney Swans will return to the SCG this Saturday for an afternoon blockbuster with the fifth-placed Fremantle Dockers.

The last time the two sides met was in Round 9 when the red and white secured an impressive 48-point win over the home side. The Dockers are coming off a second-consecutive win which Longmire says could prove to be a challenge. 

"They were terrific last week. They've got a great midfield and two very good ruckmen," Longmire told Sydney Swans Media.

"Their clearance numbers are the best in the competition so they're very good at a number of different things in their game. They played super footy last week so it'll be a tough game."

Caiden Cleary is set to play his second AFL game after joining the first touch, first goal club in Round 15. Serving as a sub Cleary entered the field late in the fourth quarter and from an intercept possession chain kicked his first major from the goal square. 

The clash will take place from 1:45pm and is expected to draw another massive crowd. The club has smashed attendance records for the regular season with an average home crowd of 39,952. 

"We need as many people there as we can possibly get," Longmire added, urging members and fans to flock to the stadium this weekend.

"It's been awesome, the crowds at the SCG this year and we need another big one on Saturday. It makes a big difference to us and really gives the boys a buzz so really looking forward to it."
