AFL Fantasy News: Kennelly Returns
The Swans started very well and had the game under control at half time. Sydney had 9 more hitouts than Port Adelaide did, as the ruck battle was always going to be important this had a big say in which team won. All over the ground, Goodes and C Cornes were often opposed to each other, and neither star had a big game.
