Sydney Swans vs Geelong Cats Preview

Geelong can take a major step towards locking in a home qualifying final when they face Sydney at the SCG on Sunday afternoon. The Swans enter in red-hot form, having claimed five wins from their past six outings, including last week’s thrilling 92-90 upset over Brisbane at the Gabba. Isaac Heeney starred in that result with 23 disposals, 10 score involvements and five goals.

The Cats extended their winning streak to four with a dominant 109-65 victory over Essendon, though they haven’t beaten a side currently inside the top 11 since Round 13. History favours Sydney at home, with their most recent clash — in Round 13 last year — producing a 112-82 Swans win, fuelled by Errol Gulden’s 37 disposals, 733 metres gained and 15 score involvements. With both teams pushing for finals momentum, this clash promises a genuine test of Geelong’s top-four credentials.
