Swans Make Late Change for Clash Against Port Adelaide

Sydney has made an unexpected last-minute change for their upcoming match against Port Adelaide, swapping out Joel Amartey for Peter Ladhams. The club hasn’t shared a specific reason for this decision.

Amartey had a terrific performance earlier in the season when he scored nine goals against Adelaide in round 14, but his form has dipped recently, with only four goals in the last six games.

Meanwhile, Ladhams last took the field in round 10 but has impressed in the VFL, earning this chance as the Swans look to turn around their recent slump and maintain their position at the top of the ladder.

In another exciting face-off, Collingwood and Carlton are set to clash at the MCG on Saturday night to celebrate Scott Pendlebury’s milestone of 400 games.

Both teams have faced their share of struggles but still have everything to fight for in the final matches. Collingwood ended a four-match losing streak recently with a victory over Richmond, but they sit in 12th place and need to keep winning to stay in contention.

Carlton, currently fourth on the ladder, has experienced a dip in form, losing three out of their last four matches against Finals contenders. Both teams will strive for a solid midfield presence during this crucial game.

In terms of player availability, Carlton welcomes back Harry McKay, while Collingwood sees Jordan De Goey return from injury.

On the same night, Port Adelaide will take on Sydney, with Port eager to continue their positive momentum after winning four of their last five games. They currently sit just outside the top four.

The match against Sydney, who are at the top of the table, is critical for Port to ensure they remain in the top eight. Sydney, despite a strong start to the season, has faced challenges with injuries, having lost four of their last five encounters, including a heavy defeat against the Western Bulldogs last week.

James Rowbottom is back for Sydney, while Port is keeping their lineup unchanged as they gear up for this important showdown.

In earlier matches, Geelong will be facing Adelaide, and North Melbourne will play against Richmond. All teams are eager to solidify their standings in this critical stage of the season.
