GEELONG ruckman Rhys Stanley is a late withdrawal for the second time in three weeks, pulling out of the clash with Sydney due to an adductor injury.

Zac Smith has come into the side for his first AFL game this season, after managing just three senior matches last year.

Stanley was also a late withdrawal for the Cats' round nine match against the Western Bulldogs with an adductor injury.

Sydney is unchanged for the Saturday afternoon match at GMHBA Stadium, meaning forward Daniel Menzel will play his first game for the Swans against his former side.

Menzel has been battling a groin injury for much of this year, but has played the past two weeks in the NEAFL building match fitness.
