Sydney Swans vs Greater Western Sydney Giants Preview
The Sydney Derby in Launceston in an Elimination Final.
A true sign of the times.
To be honest, I hadn’t got a clue just who to back in this one.
Both GWS and Sydney have had extraordinary years both on and off the field for reasons beyond their control.
Sydney has had one of the great rises up the ladder, with a mix of youth and Buddy back kicking bags of goals and have provided many highlights this season.
The Swans have won seven of their last eight matches, which is brilliant form heading into the finals and it would be a shame to see them sent packing in the first week after what has been a memorable season.
GWS’s run to the finals has been gallant if not staggering at times with epic wins over the Cats, Tigers, and getting the job done against Carlton last week.
Many suspect Leon Cameron’s men to be a dark horse heading into the finals and rightly so. This is a team one can never, ever write off.
Launceston is in for an absolute treat of footy this weekend, and the Sydney Derby being the first cab off the ranks for a feast of finals in the heartland is set to be a beauty.
This tip is going one way and one way only – I’m going to back either side to win by 15.5 or less in what will hopefully be a memorable final in what is already a serious cross-town rivalry.
