We're off to Melbourne this week and preparing for our next home game. Here are all the top headlines from around the club in this week's edition of Red and White News, presented by 7+ Sport. 

Swans return to Melbourne

The Sydney Swans are set to travel to Victoria this week for a clash with North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium. The Round 9 clash comes after five consecutive wins, most recently a 17-point victory over the Melbourne Demons. 

The game will take place on Saturday, May 9 from 1:15pm. Visit the Match Day Hub here for more information on attending Marvel Stadium.

Our VFL side are also set to clash with the club which will take place from Arden Street Oval from 1:35pm on Saturday. 

Our 2026 Marn Grook guernsey

We will once again wear our Marn Grook guernsey when we host Collingwood in Marn Grook at the SCG on Friday, May 15.

The guernsey, adapted from the work of renowned Bidiagal artist Jordan Ardler debuted in 2025 and will once again feature in Round 10.

The guernsey shares a connection with club’s home, The Sellers & Colless Centre, Sydney Swans HQ as it has been adapted from the work showcased through the Welcome to Country at the club’s entrance.

Titled “Wuri Wuri”, which translated from the Dharawal language means “sunshine”, the artwork reflects the Sydney Swans community and is an acknowledgement of the Gadigal and Bidiagal lands on which Sydney Swans HQ stands.

Next home game: Round 10 

We will return home next Friday night when we host Marn Grook at the SCG against Collingwood. 

Join us at The Sellers & Colless Centre, Sydney Swans HQ from 4:00pm to celebrate with us pre-game. Limited tickets are still available, here. 

The Swans have played for the Marn Grook Trophy in a special tribute to First Nations peoples and culture since 2002. The first Marn Grook match at the SCG was played three years before the first Dreamtime game and five years before the AFL’s first full Indigenous Round.

Marn Grook was the name given to a traditional game played during a corroboree of the Djawurrung and Jardwadjali clans in Victoria’s Western District. It is believe that this game is one of the inspirations behind Australian Football as we know it today.
