Melbourne have it all to do as we head into the final change with the Swans leading it by two goals.
Sydney, as they have for the last month of football, have just had all the answers every time the Demons have looked ready to kick away.
The Swans have done their damage in the middle of the ground, leading the overall clearance count 31-23, although it’s more or less even in centre clearances, with the Swans leading it 10-9.
Oliver leading all players with 23 disposals, seven tackles and six clearances, but he’s closely trailed by Sydney’s Luke Parker, who has also been excellent with 20 touches, nine tackles and six clearances.
The good news for the Swans is that this lead has come with Lance Franklin being well-held by Steven May.
Buddy has just four touches and one mark so far tonight, but you wouldn’t back against the legend standing up in the fourth and putting the Demons away for good.
Swans All-Australian Isaac Heeney has also been very curiously quiet with just six disposals.
