AFL Finals Week 3 Preview

The Swans have been the team to beat this season and will enter Friday’s match as the clear favourites to emerge victorious. However, they have shown that throughout the season, it takes them time to get going with their wins, which normally come through close encounters under the 40-point margin.

One of the Swans’ best this season, All-Australian Isaac Heeney, has been in marvellous form over the past few weeks, including a season-best performance against the GWS Giants in the opening week of the finals. Not a stranger of performing on the big stage, Heeney can easily rack up the possessions and the Power’s attention will be gravitated towards Chad Warner and Errol Gulden.

Not only will Geelong have the home-ground advantage against an inter-state Brisbane Lions, but they are also coming off an incredibly strong win against Port Adelaide in week one of the final. Humiliating their opponents two weeks ago, Geelong don’t look like they are slowing down anytime soon and still boast one of the best rosters in the AFL competition.

All-Australian Jeremy Cameron is easily the best forward in the AFL competition and will need another strong showing with partner-in-crime Tom Hawkins, who is still unavailable due to injury. The number one target in the Cats’ forward line, Cameron can kick goals with his eyes closed and will take full advantage of an average Lions defence.
