Sydney have made a late change for their AFL game against Melbourne at Cairns’ Cazaly Stadium with defender Callum Mills out due to a calf strain.
Big man Hayden McLean will replace Mills and will line up for his first game since the Swans’ round six loss to Richmond.
Swans football manager Charlie Gardiner said Mills’ injury is only minor and he could still play in Tuesday night’s game against Carlton.
The 16th-placed Swans have lost their past two outings after a surprise 41-point derby victory over Greater Western Sydney.
The Demons have a golden opportunity to consolidate their spot in the top-eight if they can take care of John Longmire’s men.
