The prediction

The Sydney Swans (10th) dug deep to secure a hard-fought 92-87 victory over St Kilda on the road in an engrossing, physical encounter.

North Melbourne (16th) competed hard early but were ultimately outclassed by Melbourne, going down 119-83.

Brodie Grundy was a dominant force in the ruck against the Saints, providing his midfielders with silver service from his 46 hit-outs while also collecting 20 disposals and seven clearances.

Cooper Harvey provided a fantastic spark up forward in the Kangaroos loss to the Demons, reading the play well to kick a career-high four goals.

Sydney dismantled North Melbourne by 65 points (117-52) in Round 4 this season. The Swans have an imposing record against the Kangaroos, having won eight consecutive clashes.

It is difficult to build a case for an upset here. The Swans are playing at home, have finals aspirations, and have completely dominated the Kangaroos in recent years. We expect Sydney to record a comfortable victory in this one.

Sydney vs North Melbourne tip: Sydney to win by 1-39 points
