Dogs omit defender as Swans recall Rising Star for huge Thursday clash

The teams are officially in for the Round 11 Thursday night clash between the Western Bulldogs and Sydney at Marvel Stadium.

The Swans have been the best team in the comp so far in 2024, dropping just one game this season, while the Bulldogs have found form in the last fortnight, thrashing Richmond before beating GWS in Sydney.

The Dogs made one change, bringing in Anthony Scott for Luke Cleary, while Sydney have brought back Matt Roberts as Robbie Fox goes out with a shoulder injury.
