The Sydney Swans will host the West Coast Eagles at Henson Park this Sunday (October 25) in Round 11 of the AFLW competition.Â
AFLW senior coach Colin O'Riordan has made one change, as the side looks to continue its winning ways following last week's dominant 51-point victory over Collingwood.
Utility Emma Juneja has been recalled to the side, while Paris McCarthy has been omitted.
Juneja, signed as an injury replacement player ahead of the 2026 season, has featured in seven games this year since her debut in Round 3.
Soeaking to Sydney Swans Media, O'Riordan said he wasn't underestimating Daisy Pearce's Eagles.
"Their results probably aren't reflective of where they sit on the ladder, I don't think," O'Riordan said.
"They move the ball pretty well for the majority, they like to move it up the field in an uncontested manner as much as they can.
The Swans currently sit seventh on the ladder with seven wins and three losses heading into the weekend, with victory this week securing their spot in the finals.
O'Riordan said it was nice that the future was in their hands this weekend.
"I think if you gave us this at the start of the year, would we have taken it? I think we would have," O'Riordan said.
"We're in a good spot, but we also understand the work isn't done yet and we need to get the job done on Sunday."
O'Riordan said a big crowd would help the team get the result it was after.
"I think sometimes it's underestimated what people think the crowd bring, but to come out to Henson and see a sea of red and white on the hill surrounding the ground, it gives everyone such a lift," O'Riordan said.
"I know our girls love it, they love playing in front of it. So, red and white army, come and support, it'll be great."
