Sydney is set to officially clinch the minor premiership as it hosts Adelaide to end both sides’ 2024 home and away seasons.
The Swans (16-6, 126.3%) can only drop out of first place with a 100+ point loss and a similarly big win for Port Adelaide, meaning they’re set to claim the club’s 10th V/AFL minor premiership and first since 2016, pulling them ahead of Hawthorn and Richmond on the all-time tally.
The Crows (8-13-1, 100.8%) will hope to end a disappointing season on a high note by gaining some small modicum of revenge on the team who stole their finals spot in 2023. They come into the game without Josh Rachele, who was surprisingly dropped during the week.

SYDNEY v ADELAIDE – LIVE UPDATES
Sydney made a crucial late change, with superstar Isaac Heeney “managed” for Saturday night’s clash. He was replaced by Robbie Fox, who was also named Sydney’s sub.
Adelaide made no late changes, with Chayce Jones named the starting sub.
It took just James Rowbottom just 45 seconds to kick the home side’s opening goal, snapping under pressure before the ball bounced a favourable 20 metres before going through the big sticks.
And almost instantly, Dane Rampe kicked career goal number eight in game 248 to get the Swans off to a very quick start.
Riley Thilthorpe marked uncontested inside 50 and converted truly for the Crows’ first.x
Errol Gulden’s first disposal for the night was a great one, roving ruck Brodie Grundy cleanly before a great snap on goal sealed the deal for Sydney’s third.
