The Sydney Swans are welcoming back some of their First Nations players tonight, including Michael O’Loughlin and Lewis Jetta.
We interviewed Malcolm Rosas Jr during the week about representing his culture at the Swans and emulating his boyhood hero Jetta. Rosas Jr epitomises this Swans team at the moment: selfless, speedy and desperate to hunt down the ball or their opponent.
Speaking of, it’s James Rowbottom’s 150th game tonight, expect him to mark it by tagging Collingwood’s Nick Daicos relentlessly.
The Swans are flying but can Collingwood clip their wings? We’ll soon find out.
