The Sydney Swans have made one change to take on the Melbourne Demons at Casey Fields on Saturday afternoon.

As confirmed on Tuesday, co-captain Chloe Molloy won't make the trip to Melbourne after being ruled out with back soreness.

Giselle Davies comes into the side for her first appearance at senior level for the 2025 season.

Senior coach Scott Gowans said he was excited for the tall to make the most of her opportunity.

"She's been itching to get back, so I'm so excited for her. We've tried a couple of times and she's been in good form at training and in scrimmages as well," Gowans said.

"The main thing for me is just her energy around the group, I mean, it's hard not to play for nine weeks and she's just had this energy about her.

"So really proud of the way she's held herself, holding the team values and looking forward to her coming in and killing it down forward."

After a strong performance and win over Carlton in Round 9, Sydney will be looking to take positive momentum into Saturday's match.

"It's to get the footy looking like it did on the weekend with the way we play, and obviously Melbourne will try and take that away from us but yeah sometimes you just got to double down on the way that you play footy and if the opposition are good enough to take that away from you so be it," Gowans said.

"So we're going in with that mindset of knowing that Melbourne are an amazing side and have been for a long time, well coached, well drilled but yeah we just know that moments in the game they'll get momentum but when we do hopefully we can capitalise on those."

The team will run out in the club's Pride Guernsey for the second week of the AFLW's Pride Round.

Sydney plays Melbourne at Casey Fields on Saturday at 1:05pm.

Tickets are available here, and fans can watch in Sydney on 7mate, Fox Footy and Kayo.
