The Sydney Swans VFL side will be looking for a third consecutive win this week when they travel to Victoria to face Frankston. Head coach Damian Truslove has named his team, bolstered by the return of several AFL list players.
Angus Sheldrick rejoins the side after recovering from concussion. The young star has been important through the midfield and in defence and finished Round 6 with 27 disposals and six tackles against the GWS Giants.
Jack Buller returns to play and will provide a tall target in the forward half. Meanwhile Caleb Mitchell joins the VFL side after serving as an emergency in the AFL last week.
Truslove's team has gathered momentum in recent weeks with a thrilling win over GWS in Round 6 and another closer victory over North Melbourne last Saturday - thanks to a monster 75-metre kick to goal from Luke Parker. The Swans now sit in the top 10.
The team will play Frankston on Friday night at Kinetic Stadium from 7:35pm.
