Fresh off the bye, the Sydney Swans host the Hawthorn Hawks on Friday night at the SCG. Join The Roar for all the action, with live scores and a blog starting at 7:50pm AEST.
Sydney’s players and staff have enjoyed a week off, a much-needed break for a young side who have struggled with form and injuries during the first half of the year.
Leading into the mid-season bye, Sydney recorded a huge 45-point victory over the reigning premiers, the West Coast Eagles, with five-goal hauls from Lance Franklin and Tom Papley.
At home, the Swans went down three players to injuries at half-time, but persevered and pushed the margin out, celebrate co-captain Dane Rampe’s 150th match with a win.
Hawthorn were slow coming off their bye, losing by 19 points to Essendon on Friday night; a must-win for both teams and it was the Hawks who came up short.
They tried to make a comeback, but the margin nearing the half-way mark of the final term was 38 points, too big, and the Hawks suffered their seventh loss in 12 games.
James Sicily was trialed up forward, but returned to the backline in the third quarter. Ben Stratton was the topic of conversation though, the captain cited for three incidents by the Match Review Officer.
Sydney’s team will be strengthened for the match with the return of a quality trio.
Jarrad McVeigh will miss, with the Hawk suffering a hamstring injury in the win over the Eagles.
Jackson Thurlow and Tom McCartin have been omitted from the line-up.
Josh P Kennedy, Will Hayward and Zak Jones are the inclusions to the Swans’ side, adding valuable experience ahead of this exciting clash.
Hawthorn will be without captain Ben Stratton, who will miss the match in Sydney and the next against West Coast, suspended for stomping and pinching Essendon players in last Friday night’s loss.
James Cousins has been omitted.
Jarryd Roughead returns to the side after he was dropped to the VFL ahead of round eight. He has worked hard in the twos to put together a solid block of form and earned his recall to the senior side.
Young Harry Morrison has also been included on the interchange.
The last time these two sides met was in Round 23, 2018 and it was Hawthorn who overran the Swans by nine-points, in a tight finish.
Sydney ruckman Callum Sinclair will play his 100th AFL match when he takes to the field this Friday night.
Prediction
In recent times, these matches have been very close. There is plenty of history between the sides and, despite them sitting lower on the ladder than we have come to expect, it should be another classic.
Sydney at home look like the better team and should get the job done.
Sydney by seven points.
