The Sydney Swans return to the SCG on Saturday night for a blockbuster Round 7 clash against the Geelong Cats.

The Swans have made four changes to their line up, with ruckman Tom Hickey the big inclusion for the encounter.

Hickey, along with key defender Tom McCartin, Dylan Stephens and Colin O’Riordan are the four changes to the side that suffered a defeat to the Gold Coast Suns last week, with George Hewett (concussion), Blakey (omitted), Reid (calf) and Brand (omitted) the outs.

Starting with season with four wins in a row, Sydney have suffered back to back losses after defeats to the GWS Giants and Suns.

They face a Geelong side who are coming off a dominant 97-point victory over the West Coast Eagles and have won four of their last five clashes.

The Cats have recalled Jordan Clark and Quinton Narkle in their only two changes for the clash, replacing Mark O’Connor and Jake Kolodjashnij who are ruled out with injury.

Geelong’s Jeremy Cameron kicked three goals last week in his first performance for his new club and along with Tom Hawkins, will look to be dangerous up front.
