Sydney Swans defender Aliir Aliir won't be lining up for his side this afternoon against the Brisbane Lions after failing to attend a training session on Saturday.

The 22-year-old will be replaced by Harrison Marsh as the Swans look to pick up their first win of the season after six losses to start the year.
Sydney's Head of Football Tom Harley commented on the late omission with no reason as yet given for why Aliir missed training.
"It is disappointing and unfortunate that Aliir comes out of the side and Harry Marsh comes in," Harley told the Swans official website.
"We had a training session yesterday and it is disappointing that Aliir didn't attend and we can't stand for that as a football club so he has taken full responsibility for that.
"We move on with the game and Harry Marsh comes in as his replacement."
Marsh himself comes into the side nursing a minor hamstring injury but the club believes he is fit enough to play against the Lions.
