Sydney Swans v Geelong Cats; AFL 2021 round 7 match preview and team lists

Sydney Swans v Geelong Cats, AFL 2021 round 7 match preview and team lists, SCG, Saturday 1 May 2021 19:25 AEDT
Ben Jensen TWO CHANGES have been made by the Cats and four by the Swans for their fourth verses fifth clash at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) tonight. Geelong fan favourites Jordan Clarke and Quinton Narkle are both back at the expense of injured duo Jake Kolodjasjnij and Mark O’Connor, an odd choice of replacements for two defenders though O’Connor has not been spending as much time ‘down back’ lately. The Swans lost two players to injury and dropped another two.

In the VFL, whose website has been decommissioned and now redirected to the AFL’s, the Cats men’s side also plays the Swans in Melbourne at Lakeside Oval in round 3 while the women play the Western Bulldogs at Deakin Uni in their round 9 clash, starting at 1pm. See the Cats men’s team selections here (also below), Cats women’s team here (also below) and the Swans men’s team here. Esava Ratugolea is named after missing last week while in the women’s side gun Amy McDonald, club AFLW best and fairest winner, will play her first VFL match for the season. The VFL women’s season started while the AFLW season was still underway; it has taken a few weeks for AFLW players to filter back down to VFL level. The VFL men’s match will be broadcast on the Kayo streaming service while to see the VFLW match you’ll have to get down to Deakin Waurn Ponds.
