IN: Hickey, Amartey, Fox and McDonald
OUT: Sinclair, McLean, Brand, Stephens (all omitted) and Taylor (medisub)
The Sydney Swans have made four changes to their side to face St.Kilda at the SCG on Saturday afternoon.
The Round 12 match was originally scheduled for Melbourne, but was moved to the SCG earlier in the week due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Melbourne.
Returning from injury for the match against the Saints are ruckman Tom Hickey (knee) and Robbie Fox (eye) while young duo Logan McDonald and Joel Amartey have been rewarded for some strong performances in the VFL and have been included in the team.
19-year old McDonald will play his sixth senior game, after playing in the first five games of 2021 meanwhile 21-year old Amartey, will play just his second senior game after debuting in Cairns in Round 17 against Brisbane in season 2020.
"Logan has been working away," coach John Longmire said.
"It's important we dropped away with his workload there for a few weeks and freshen him up and get him going, so it's good to get him back again.
"Joel's form has been really strong over the last few weeks so he has been rewarded. We know he can play forward and ruck."
The match kicks off at 1.45pm at the SCG on Saturday afternoon and will be broadcast live on Channel 7, Fox Footy and Kayo Sports.
Tickets for the match are available through Ticketek.
