Can they do it two weeks in a row? Hodge's big question surrounding Sydney

The Sydney Swans are through to their second grand final in three years after a dominant Preliminary Final win over Port Adelaide on Friday night.

The best team in the competition continued to flex their muscles in front of their home crowd and they’ll head into next week's finale as the justified favourites.

They’ve got stars on all lines and they’re playing like a team beaming with confidence and swagger.

It’s infectious.

Reflecting on Friday night’s triumph, Hawthorn great Luke Hodge has run his eyes over the Swans and has identified an area of concern for John Longmire’s men down forward.

“That’s going to be the big question, can they do it two weeks in a row,” Hodge told SEN’s Crunch Time.

“You look back and teams have forced Sydney to go down the line because they’re not worried about the tall forwards, they’re worried about them going through the middle as there’s Chad Warner, Errol Gulden, Isaac Heeney as those kind of blokes will give it to Nick Blakey who is damaging by foot.

“The big question for Sydney next week is can their talls who kick six or eight goals between them and have that same impact and hit the scoreboard?

“If they do have an impact, Sydney won’t lose but it’s a big game to do it in because they have inconsistent throughout the year to do that.”

Joel Amartey, Hayden McLean and Logan McDonald combined for 19 marks and six goals on Friday night.

McDonald was substituted out of the game for an ankle injury but the Swans are very confident that he’ll be fit for Saturday.
