Our verdict
Opinion
Our read: Sydney Swans look the side to beat here — more league points on the board (64) and the shorter price (1.02). That is our opinion, not a forecast of the result.
This is our view from the season numbers and the published price — not a guarantee of any outcome. Bet only what you can afford to lose.
