Sydney Swans vs GWS Giants Preview
The first ‘Battle of the Bridge’ game gets underway on Thursday night… from Perth, that is.
GWS are looking to make it two wins in a row after coming from behind to defeat the Bombers last Friday night, while the Swans are hoping to improve on their huge effort against Collingwood at the Gabba.
There is no denying this is another must-win game for the Giants as they cling to a spot inside the eight with the Pies and Demons breathing down their neck.
GWS has won each of its last four games against the Swans, but the injury concerns continue to mount with Phil Davis listed as questionable and Toby Greene ruled out with a recurring hamstring injury.
The Swans are battered and bruised themselves with a long list of outs, but they have proven themselves a handful on the road at times this year.
GWS have also looked a completely different side with Greene out of the lineup, so with an extra day’s rest to their advantage, the Swans appear a good bet to keep this close.
