The Swans have made three changes to the team for Saturday night’s huge game against Collingwood at ANZ Stadium.

Powerful forward/ruckman Jesse White comes into the team to replace big man Shane Mumford, who is on the sidelines for two weeks due to suspension.

Young defender Alex Johnson, who tore his calf muscle in the first term during the loss to Carlton last Sunday, will also miss the match, as will Lewis Jetta.

Jetta was the substitute last week and he will play in the reserves against Queanbeyan this Saturday at the SCG, starting at 12.30pm.

Coach John Longmire said he wanted to see Jetta get back to his best and believed a short stint in the reserves was the right thing for him at this stage.

Andrejs Everitt, who played in the forward line in the reserves last week against GWS and took 12 marks, has been brought into the senior side, along with 2005 premiership player Paul Bevan.

Longmire said White would support Mark Seaby in the ruck, and Lewis Roberts-Thomson would go back into defence for the first time this year.

“He can go back and help out with the talls that are in Collingwood’s forward line so he will be really handy, and Jesse White has come in and will play in the ruck as well as in a key forward position,’’ Longmire said.

“Bevan has been really solid for a month (in the reserves), kicking goals and his pressure skills have been really good. We know he’s fit and can play four quarters unchanged, and he’s versatile. It’s good that he’s got another chance.’’

There could be interesting match-ups during the game, with young Swans centre half forward Sam Reid likely to line up on his older brother, Ben, who is a key defender for Collingwood.

“We go out to ANZ stadium on Saturday night confident that if we get 22 players to give four quarters of strong, consistent performance then we can get a good result,’’ Longmire said.
