For the first time since 2006 two non-Victorian teams will contest the AFL Grand Final at the MCG, and flights and accommodation are as much of a battle as tickets.

Remarkably it will be a 125-year rematch (of sorts), as the last time the Swans and Lions faced off for the flag was the 1899 VFL Grand Final, back when both clubs were based in Victoria as South Melbourne and Fitzroy respectively.

Three goals were kicked inside the last two minutes as Sydney beat GWS by three points, with Cynthia Hamilton starring in the final term for the Swans.

Key forward Logan McDonald has missed Sydney’s first training session of AFL grand final week after injuring his ankle in the preliminary-final win over Port Adelaide. The Swans face a nervous wait ahead of the MCG decider with Brisbane after McDonald rolled his ankle in a marking contest in the third term on Friday night.

The WA Sydney Swans Supporters Club, who support the AFL team they love from 3,000 kilometres away, have been awarded Supporter Group of the Year for the club's sense of community and inclusivity.

For the first time since their round 11 win over the Western Bulldogs, Sydney’s key forwards set the tone early.

The Swans and Power meet at the SCG with a spot in the AFL grand final on the line. Join Angus Fontaine for updates
