GWS Giants vs Sydney Swans Preview
Another instant classic could be on our hands in what might be the most anticipated ‘Battle of the Bridge’ game since its inception.
Arguably the most in-form team in the competition, the Giants are close to a finals lock sitting sixth – Adam Kingsley firmly in the running for Coach of the Year with his side riding a seven-game winning streak.
The Swans also have genuine finals claims – something we couldn’t say six weeks ago.
It’s been a huge week for the Bloods following the retirement of superstar Buddy Franklin, but on the back of a narrow win against Essendon, the Grand Final runners-up are firmly in the hunt for a spot inside the eight.
Looking back, the Giants prevailed 107-106 when these two sides met back in Round 7, Toby Greene starring with four goals and Tom Green racking up 33 disposals and 13 tackles.
Both names have been instrumental in GWS’ turnaround, Toby looking a serious contender for All-Australian captain honours, but also a certainty to cause the Swans some serious headaches this week.
Tom Green is also a good chance to return this week from a hamstring injury, an enormous boost to a Giants midfield that is already firing on all cylinders.
The Swans have been impressive in recent weeks, but a couple of narrow wins over the Dogs and Bombers don’t compare to the resume the Giants have put together recently.
A slow first half against the Bulldogs last week was a concern, but like all good teams do, the Giants still found a way to win.Kingley’s side has been incredibly tough to score against over the last six weeks, and they’ve also been tough to stop on attack – currently ranked fourth in inside 50 entries.
The close nature of this rivalry makes this a tough game to pick, but the little brother Giants are a tough team to knock right now.
