The Sydney Swans have made one change to the team ahead of this Saturday's clash with the Brisbane Lions at the SCG.

Ted Richards, who has shown great form of late in the Swans Reserves side, will replace injured defender Craig Bolton. Bolton is expected to return to the side within eight weeks after being diagnosed with chronic achilles tendonitis.
