Saturday night’s clash will finish with a farewell to a veteran – regardless of result with both Swallow and two-time Freo Brownlow Medallist Nat Fyfe announcing their retirements.
Making history on Saturday night, Suns coach Damien Hardwick says his players will be ready for the inaugural finals appearance.
“Talent has never been an issue at this football club. What I think has been the biggest point our guys have grabbed is the grit and connection piece,” he said.
“The ability to tough it out, a Suns team that fights, scraps and refuses to be beaten … That’s the one thing we’ve taken stock of this year, and the general connection of our group I think is very strong.
“I have been fortunate to be around footy a long time and that to me is one of the greatest strengths of this football club.”The match gets underway at 7:30pm AEST at Adelaide Oval.
The match gets underway at 7:35pm AEST (5:35pm local) at Optus Stadium, with Nat Fyfe (Dockers) and David Swallow (Giants) the starting substitutes. There were no late changes.
Watch it live on Fox Footy (channel 504), and streaming on Kayo, from 6:56pm AEST.
