Sydney Swans vs Port Adelaide Power AFL 2025 Round 6 FAQ’s

The Power showed last week that if they hit the target over 50 percent when shooting at goal, they will win the match as they dominated Hawthorn from the opening bounce. Ken Hinkley will demand consistency from his men this week ass they proved that they can beat anyone in the comp when they get things right.

The Swans had trouble converting their inside 50s into points against Collingwood last week and with Port Adelaide the best team in the AFL at limiting their opponents clean marks inside their forward 50, this will cause more problems for Sydney who will be without Joel Amartey for this clash, adding to their injury woes to start the season.

If Port can be half-decent in front of goal they will contest this match. Expect Zac Butters to continue to control things for the Power and rack up disposals against the Sydney midfield that has lacked the sting they have had over the last few seasons.

Port have won 8 of the last 9 games against Sydney
Port give up the least amount of uncontested possessions to their opponents with 199.6 per game.
Port Adelaide ranks first in the AFL, giving up just 9.6 opposition marks inside 50s per game.
Zak Butters has averaged 31.8 disposals in 2025.

The Swans were outplayed by the Magpies in Round 5 getting controlled by Collingwood from midway through the first quarter and never seeing a chance to take the lead again.

Despite winning the inside fifties 56-55, the Swans managed just 18 scoring shots (12.6.78) while Collingwood peppered the Sydney goal with 29 shots on goal (16.13.109). The match highlights the woes for the Swans this season with their injuries affecting their ability to link up their midfield play with their forward line.

The concern for Sydney is their ball movement with not one of their players averaging over 23 disposals this season with defender Matt Roberts touching the ball most of any Swan and tallying 22.8 disposals per game with Isaac Heeney 22.4.

Port continued to be the bogey team for the Hawks since they became a force again last season, beating Hawthorn 121-91 coming out of the blocks fast to stun the young Hawthorn lineup.

The Power lead at the half by 59 points, finally finding some accuracy inside their own 50, kicking 12.7 before the main break. Willie Rioli and Mitch Georgiades kicked three goals each in the match, but the heroes were at the back with Aliir Aliir and Esava Ratugolea shutting down the Hawthorn guns in the first half holding them to just 3.2.20.

The return to form was welcomed warmly by Port Adelaide fans after starting the season 1-3 once again being their worst enemy, failing to convert their chances inside their forward half kicking at 44.2% in accuracy, the worst in the AFL.
