Sydney Swans v Fremantle Dockers: AFL preliminary final – live

Updates as the Swans host the minor premiers at the SCG Start time in Sydney is 7.40pm AEST/5.40pm AWST Send an email Final teams are in with no late changes. Sydney have been forced to make two changes with luckless skipper Callum Mills sustaining a serious knee injury in the first term of the otherwise rousing qualifying final victory against Brisbane. Veteran defender Harry Cunningham has also been sidelined with a calf injury picked up in training.

Justin McInerney returns for his first game since round 13 to bolster the Swans’ midfield though he will surely find it difficult to immediately recapture the career-best form he was in before suffering a significant hamstring injury. Reliable key defender Lewis Melican steps into the backline to help cover the Dockers’ three-pronged tall forward attack.

But Joel Amartey will be watching on as the Swans back in Hayden McLean after the forward-ruck booted three goals against the Lions and with one eye on containing Dockers big man Luke Jackson.
