Sydney Swans host Melbourne in Round 8 of the 2026 AFL season at SCG on Sunday. Read on for our full match preview, betting tips, and best odds.
A potential blockbuster between two very impressive sides.
The Swans will look to cement top spot as $1.19 favourites against the Dees, with last week’s 66-point win over the Dogs a timely reminder they are the form side of the competition.
And they’re only set to improve again with Isaac Heeney returning from a calf strain.
It’ll be interesting to see how the Dees respond to their off-field issues this week, with CEO Paul Guerra ousted after just seven months in the job.
Steven King is unlikely to have enjoyed the disruption to a team that is playing infinitely better than last year but will quickly need to turn their attention on-field against the ladder-leaders.
