Greater Western Sydney Giants vs Sydney Swans Preview
Greater Western Victoria hosts South Melbourne in Ballarat in what should be a fascinating edition of the Battle of the Bridge/Sydney Derby or whatever the Sovereign Hill Cup is called now.
GWS are still in the hunt to make the top eight but keep blowing chances, such as last week’s 1-point loss to the Swans.
Their form is consistent WIN-LOSS-WIN-LOSS over the past month, but not the consistency you’d need when trying to book your spot for finals football.
Sydney continues to impress and have done so all season.
A sensational 19-point win over the top of the ladder Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium last week now even has people talking about a potential Swans premiership in 2021.
With plenty on the line, this should be another close edition of the AFL’s Sydney Derby.
You may recall the last time the Giants got over the Swans by 2-points at The SCG in those awesome black kits – far better than their main jumper if you ask me.
Fashion talk aside, it should be close so I’m pulling out my trusty old “Either Team by 15.5 or Less” in this one.
