The Sydney Swans will welcome back four big names for Saturday afternoon’s clash with Adelaide at the SCG.
Star forward Lance Franklin headlines the inclusions, while Kurt Tippett is set to play his first game against his former club since becoming a Swan.
Tough small Ben McGlynn and experienced defender Ted Richards also strengthen Sydney’s team to tackle the Crows.
Franklin missed the club’s loss to West Coast due to a back injury, while Tippett was also sidelined with a broken hand.
McGlynn made his comeback from a soft-tissue complaint in the NEAFL last weekend and Richards resumes after serving a one-game suspension.
