Overview
- Sydney defeated Port Adelaide 26.11 (167) to 10.10 (70) on Saturday at the SCG for a 97-point victory.
- An explosive second quarter saw the Swans kick nine straight goals to open a roughly 50-point lead and decide the contest.
- Charlie Curnow kicked five goals to extend his Coleman Medal lead while Errol Gulden ran the game with 39 disposals and multiple assists.
- Young ruck Will Green made his AFL debut, recording about 19–20 hitouts as Brodie Grundy sat out for personal reasons.
- Port’s Jason Horne‑Francis left his 100th game with a suspected knee hyperextension and coach Josh Carr said initial tests look fine, while the result leaves Sydney needing likely only one win from their final two matches to secure second.
