Sydney Swans vs Brisbane Lions Preview

The Lions have won 10 of their past 11 matches and secured third place with a 159-96 victory over Collingwood, powered by an eight-goal performance from Logan Morris. Sydney also finished strongly, beating North Melbourne 123-70 as Charlie Curnow kicked three goals and completed a 69-goal Coleman Medal season. The teams split their two meetings this year: Sydney won 104-60 in Round 1 before Brisbane answered with a 126-83 victory in Round 16. Brisbane’s depth and recent scoring strength present a stern test, particularly with Charlie Cameron entering after nine consecutive games of at least two goals. Sydney’s home ground and winning run provide hope, but the Lions bring the more compelling recent body of work.
