AFL: Swans forward Will Hayward has labeled his side's 112-point loss to Port Adealaide earlier this season as 'a really good thing' ahead of their huge preliminary final on Friday night.
Sydney must complete a staggering 112-point turnaround to live up to the hype as minor premier and make the 2024 Grand Final, as Port Adelaide eyes a long-awaited breakthrough under Ken Hinkley.
The Swans are looking to get back to the last Saturday in September after a stellar year. But they must make amends for the strangest loss of the year, their 112-point capitulation at Adelaide Oval in early August. It was their eight consecutive loss to Port Adelaide. The Power made amends for their own faceplant by holding off Hawthorn last Friday night, qualifying for their fourth preliminary final under coach Ken Hinkley. They are 0-3 in them so far.
