The Sydney Swans VFL side to face the Werribee Tigers at Blacktown on Saturday afternoon has been named.
Sydney VFL Coach Jarrad McVeigh will welcome back AFL-listed player Peter Ladams, after playing three games in the AFL.
Defender Aaron Francis comes out of the side after being named in the AFL side to play Port Adelaide on Easter Sunday, while VFL-listed players Byron Laws and Angus Hanrahan have been omitted.
Tall Logan McDonald has been named in the forward line for his second game of the season, as he continues to work his way back from off-season ankle surgery.
VFL-listed player Oscar Davis has been named for his second game this season, after he impressed against North Melbourne in Round 3.
"Oscar Davis has been really good, he's got really great skills, he's hard at it," McVeigh said.
"He's been working hard on his game, and it's pleasing to see him get a good run in our midfield and hopefully, he can continue his form."
The Swans will be searching for their first VFL win this season, after losses to Collingwood and North Melbourne. Meanwhile, Werribee are coming off the back of a four point loss against Footscray last Saturday.
