Sydney aims to wrap up the home-and-away season with a third straight win as they face Adelaide on Saturday night at the SCG.
The Swans have nearly clinched the minor premiership following their 39-point triumph over the Bombers in their last game. This victory marked their second consecutive win against prominent Victorian teams, helping them regain their momentum as they approach the finals.
Sydney will be optimistic about securing another win, given their strong track record against the Crows, having won all five of their previous encounters. This includes a commanding 42-point victory earlier in the season, highlighted by Joel Amartey’s career-best nine goals at Adelaide Oval.
