In Game 16 of the NAB Challenge when the Swans meet the Eagles at Blacktown International Sportspark on Thursday night, all eyes will be on Lance Franklin who’s set to play his much-anticipated first game for Sydney.
Lewis Jetta, Lewis Roberts-Thomson and Mike Pyke have also be named for Swans.
The Eagles have made a number of changes, choosing to rest Kieran Jack, Josh Kennedy, Ben McGlynn, Jarrad McVeigh and Ted Richards. Patrick McGinnity has been included in the lineup for West Coast despite receiving a one match ban with an early plea for rough conduct against Danyle Pearce (Fremantle) which applies to Round One of the premiership season.
