Who will win and why - Fremantle needs to start winning games away, but it won't be at the SCG on Sunday. The Swans gave everything against Brisbane last week; in the end, shooting themselves in the foot when Jason Ball missed a shot for the game from straight in front. They will not want to compound that by letting two games get away, especially not their first home game of the season. It will be close, but Sydney will just have a bit too much hit and run.
Prediction - Sydney by 15 points
