The Swans have made three changes for the match against Richmond at the SCG on Sunday, regaining star forward Michael O’Loughlin from a hamstring injury but losing another goalsneak Adam Schneider to the same injury.
Sydney also recalled Luke Ablett and Amon Buchanan for Jarrad McVeigh and Aaron Rogers, who were both dropped.
Those two were named on the interchange bench, along with Stephen Doyle and Jason Saddington.
Richmond has dropped David Rodan for the second time in a month and has resisted the temptation to bring back Joel Bowden after just one week in the VFL.
Rodan was dropped to make way for the return of Greg Stafford from suspension, with Stafford named on the bench to take on his former club.
The Tigers have also regained champion spearhead Matthew Richardson, following three matches out with a hamstring injury, with Ben Marsh the player to make way.
Rodan played his first 47 matches for the Tigers consecutively, before being dropped for the round four clash against Geelong, and is now back in the VFL after only returning for last week’s one point win over Hawthorn.
And Bowden will join Rodan in the reserves after he was only named as an emergency, after last week being dropped for the first time since round five, 1998.
