Boom recruit Charlie Curnow will be watching from the sideline when his Sydney teammates tackle North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium early this afternoon.
โCharlie Curnow wonโt play. Heโs got an abdominal issue that we need to work through,โ coach Dean Cox said this week.
The Swans will also be without defender Jai Serong, bringing in big man Hayden McLean for his first game this year as well as Harry Cunningham.
โSerongโs hamstring is a little bit tight. So, he wonโt be available,โ Cox said.
