Sydney Swans ruckman Will Green will make his AFL debut against Port Adelaide tomorrow afternoon.

Green joined the red and white with pick 16 in the 2023 AFL Draft, from the Northcote Junior Football Club.

At a towering 204cm tall, Green has played 41 VFL games for the Swans, recording 41 hit-outs against GWS last week.

Green replaces ruck Brodie Grundy who will miss the match for personal reasons, after the birth of his first child during the week.

Senior coach Dean Cox announced the news to the team on Friday morning.

“What the players love about you (Green) is your ability to compete, your mobility and your ability to play your role,” Cox said.

“Nothing different has to happen tomorrow, enjoy the day, the game and make sure you do what you need to do at the right time.

“That’s something you’ve done in the VFL so take real confidence doing it again tomorrow afternoon, well done.”
