The Swans have made four additions to their extended squad for Sunday's game against Richmond at the SCG.
Into the Sydney line-up come Michael O'Loughlin, who has finally recovered from a hamstring nerve problem and Luke Ablett, who was a late withdrawal from last week's game against Essendon with gastro.
Also into the squad are Amon Buchanan and Mark Powell, both of whom have been named on a seven-man bench.
The Swans have just the one enforced change with Adam Schneider likely to miss up to a month with a torn hamstring.
As expected there are some big names back for the Tigers.
Matthew Richardson has proved his fitness after mssing three weeks with a torn hamstring while Greg Stafford is straight in having served a three match suspension for unduly rough play.
As well, Ty Zantuck and Joel Bowden return to the extended squad of 25 after a week in the VFL.
Ben Marsh is the only player dropped from the team which defeated Hawthorn by a point at Telstra Dome last Friday night.
Both squads will be trimmed to 22 on Friday.
