Sydney Swans coach Dean Cox has made two changes to his side to take on cross-town rivals GWS in Saturday afternoon\u2019s Sydney Derby XXXIII.<\/p>\n
Harry Cunningham (concussion) will be replaced by defender Harry Kyle, while Billy Cootee comes back into the senior side at the expense of Angus Sheldrick (omitted).<\/p>\n
Both Kyle and Cootee were instrumental in the Swans\u2019 VFL win last weekend, with Kyle gathering 30 disposals and Cootee booting five goals in the 16-point win. \u00a0<\/p>\n
“Harry Kyle has obviously been playing some senior footy for us, and made way last week, but responded well and Billy has been in unbelievable form for a number of weeks,” Senior Coach Dean Cox said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI expect them (Giants) at their best, which we always do. These are great battles no matter where anyone sits on the ladder, they\u2019re really passionate games of footy and I can\u2019t wait for another one.”<\/p>\n
Cox went on to say he hopes to see plenty of red and white at ENGIE Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n
“Our support, no matter where we go around the country, is first class and we expect no different.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Sydney Swans hold the Sydney Derby Cup, having won the most recent encounter against the Giants by 41 points in Round 6 at the SCG.<\/p>\n
The second-placed Swans take on the Giants at 4.35pm on Saturday at ENGIE Stadium.<\/p>\n
