AFL: The Sydney Swans have booked their ticket to the Grand Final, following a dominant 36-point win over Port Adelaide
The Sydney Swans are “ cherry ripe ” to win their sixth VFL/AFL premiership next Saturday — but difficult selection calls loom before then.at the SCG, the Swans will now prepare to play in their fifth Grand Final under 14-year senior coach John Longmire .
“It was well-balanced, there were winners everywhere — in the midfield, defence, the forward-line — they are primed, they are peaking at the right time, which is everything you want to happen to your football club after the start they’ve had. “We haven’t seen Sydney burst out of the blocks like that for quite some time, since earlier on in the season.
The 27-year-old suffered the injury 10 days ago but is understood to have trained promisingly at Tramway Oval earlier on Friday. Versatile utility Robbie Fox was included last Thursday in place of the injured Mills and started as the substitute on Friday night — he is most likely to be excluded if Mills is deemed fit to play next Saturday.
