Massive News: Opponent Confirmed, Same Story for Finals-Chasing Swans….
Sydney’s finals hopes have hit familiar territory as the AFL announces their next opponent—another top-four heavyweight. The Swans, fighting to stay in the finals frame, will now face a critical test against a red-hot Collingwood outfit at the MCG.

It’s a storyline that echoes recent seasons: strong performances undone by inconsistency and tough draws. Sydney, sitting just outside the eight, can’t afford another slip-up after last week’s narrow loss to the Bulldogs. Coach John Longmire remains upbeat, saying, “We’ve been here before. It’s about standing up now.”
With stars like Errol Gulden and Isaac Heeney in form, the Swans have the talent to challenge. But against a Collingwood side gunning for top spot, execution must match intent.
Finals footy beckons—but only if Sydney breaks the cycle. Same story? Or new chapter? All eyes on the MCG.
