Flawless to kick off the new season, Sydney are flying in 2026. Two wins from two, Dean Cox’s second campaign has started supremely well, with new recruits Charlie Curnow, Jai Serong and Malcolm Rosas adding significant firepower to the Swans’ premiership contention.

Beyond Gulden, Isaac Heeney will also miss on Thursday night with a hamstring complaint.
