The Sydney Swans have made one change to the side to face North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon. 

Versatile utility Robbie Fox comes into the side to replace key defender Kaiden Brand (groin).

Coach John Longmire said Fox has been solid at training and will relish the opportunity. 

“Robbie is really flexible and can play a number of roles for us,” Longmire said.

“Unfortunately, Kaiden hurt his groin slightly at training today so he goes out of the team and Robbie comes back in.”

It will be Fox’s first game of the 2020 season after playing 24 matches over the last three seasons for the club.

Longmire said the side was prepared for the pressure set to come their way from North Melbourne.

“It will be good to get down there and take on the Kangas who are in great form and had a terrific win last week,” Longmire said. 

“It will be a real challenge for us down there again this week.”
