Sydney Swans ruckman Callum Sinclair is ready to face Hawthorn's ruck duo in Saturday night's crucial match against Hawthorn at the SCG.

The Hawks will likely go in with a pair of big men in Ben McEvoy and Jonathan Ceglar against the Swans, but Sinclair isn't bothered by the task.   

The 28-year-old is ranked fifth at the Swans for clearances this season and has been a strong presence around stoppages, while also being mobile enough to test opposition ruckmen when he pushes forward.   

"I like to think I can move around the ground pretty well and try and get my hands on the ball a fair bit," he said.   

"But when you're up against quality opponents you have to do a fair bit of work on their game and reduce their influence (as well).   

"There's probably a handful of sides that have been playing two rucks, but in terms of rotations, we've had guys giving me a chop-out.

"I'm running out games quite well and I've done it (solo) for most of the year, so we've managed that load quite well."

Fresh off his outstanding job in shutting down Greater Western Sydney star Stephen Coniglio in last week's derby in the second half, Sydney midfielder George Hewett will have the task of trying to stop Brownlow Medal favourite Tom Mitchell on Saturday night.   

The Swan kept his former teammate to just 20 possessions in round eight - one of just two games in 2018 that Mitchell has gathered less than 24 touches - and Sinclair is confident Hewett can limit his output again.   

"A lot of teams have tried," he said.   

"Tom's biggest strength is his work rate. He's got a massive ability to accumulate a lot of ball, and he's done that at the SCG a few times, so he knows the ground pretty well.   

"Tom has expected a bit of attention throughout his whole career so he'll be ready to go, I'm sure, but that’s just another battle in a pool of many on Saturday night."
