Sydney Swans vs GWS Giants Preview
The Swans have an enviable run home over the final month, starting this week with a game against the rival Giants.
The last two Battle of the Bridge games have been classics, but this one has all the makings of a blowout with the Swans eying a potential top-four finish.
Sydney prevailed by 20 points when these two met to open the season, and it’s fair to say the Swans have really hit their stride now with three convincing wins over the Dogs, Freo, and the Crows in succession.
John Longmire’s midfield is firing on all cylinders, while a healthy Buddy Franklin has gone a long way to making up for some sloppy losses to Essendon and Port earlier in the year.
To their credit, the Giants did play a strong first half last week against Carlton, but it’s been obvious since the sacking of Leon Cameron that this side can’t be relied upon to score more than 60 points.
It also doesn’t help that players like Harry Himmelberg and Tim Taranto seem to go missing week to week, not to mention the fact the Giants have been the sixth easiest team to score against.
With the Swans playing for a potential home final, we should see the very best of the Bloods this week.
