Sydney Swans Look to Reignite Season Against St Kilda Saints

Taylor Adams will wear the sub vest for Sydney as the Swans look to stretch their lead at the top of the ladder against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium.

The Saints (5-10) fell two points short against Port Adelaide last week to stay languishing in 15th spot on the ladder, while the Swans remain two games clear atop the table despite last week’s loss to Fremantle.

St Kilda has struggled to get going this season, but it could claim the biggest scalp in the competition when it hosts the wounded Swans.

Sydney (13-2) failed to overcome yet another sluggish start in its loss to the Dockers last week and its famed midfield was mostly outplayed, but they will be looking to bounce back against the struggling Saints.

The Saints have made five changes, with the injured Max King joining the injured Anthony Caminiti, Paddy Dow and Riley Bonner, and omitted Tom Campbell on the sidelines. Dougal Howard, Ryan Byrnes, Mattaes Phillipou, Tim Membrey and Ben Paton come in, with Paton named the sub.

The Swans have recalled Robbie Fox and Matt Roberts in place of Harry Cunningham (hamstring) and the omitted Caiden Cleary, with Adams given the sub vest.
