Sydney Swans vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Preview
Sydney secured second place with a 112-76 win over Essendon, but its finals preparation has been disrupted by season-long club suspensions for Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, Riley Bice and James Jordon. Justin McInerney has also suffered another hamstring setback. North Melbourne lost 125-110 to Geelong after testing the Cats early, with captain Nick Larkey returning to form through five goals. Harry Sheezel will miss this match because of a cheekbone injury, while Luke McDonald is available for selection. Sydney won the Round 9 meeting 105-97 and has beaten North in 11 consecutive encounters, yet the scale of its absences makes this rematch far less predictable. North’s more settled available group has a genuine opportunity to end the season with a notable SCG victory.
