Sydney Swans AFLW senior coach Colin O’Riordan has named his extended squad to face Essendon in this Sunday’s upcoming Round 2 clash at the SCG.

Following last week’s thrilling season opener victory over the Adelaide Crows, the Swans squad is once again filled with experience and exciting fresh talent.

O’Riordan has been forced to make one change, with defender Lulu Pullar ruled out through a shoulder injury.

On the extended bench includes former QBE Sydney Swans Academy talents Molly Thomas and Emma Juneja, who if selected will make their AFLW debut, while Paris McCarthy, if selected, will play her 25th AFLW game.

The extended bench will be cut to five players at 5pm on Friday.

Get to the game. Let’s set a record crowd. Get tickets.
