Sydney Swans vs. GWS Giants match preview 

While the Swans may have a better head-to-head record in recent games, it's the Giants who have always come out on top whenever both sides have clashed in the finals, winning all three games.

Sydney Swans come into this game in erratic form. While they solidly won their last three games, they were on a three-match losing streak prior to their wins. However, they will be boosted by the returns of Justin McInerney, Tom Papley, Isaac Heeney and Tom McCartin for this fixture.

The Giants had a bit of a rut during the mid-season stage, however, they come into this game in excellent form having won seven of their last eight matches. Apart from Toby Bedford who faces a fitness test, they don't have anyone missing through injury.
