The Sydney Swans are back at the SCG THIS Saturday when they face St Kilda in their Round 12 fixture from 1:45pm.

The Round 12 match was originally scheduled for Melbourne, but was moved to the SCG earlier in the week due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Melbourne.

The Swans have four changes to their side with ruckman Tom Hickey and defender Robbie Fox returning from injury while young duo Logan McDonald and Joel Amartey have been rewarded for some strong performances in the VFL and have been included in the team.

19-year old McDonald will play his sixth senior game, after playing in the first five games of 2021 meanwhile 21-year old Amartey, will play just his second senior game after debuting in Cairns in Round 17 against Brisbane in season 2020.

St Kilda have made one change to their side that came away with a victory over North Melbourne last week, with Hunter Clark set to return in place of Tom Highmore.
