Sydney Swans v. Hawthorn Hawks: Four key matchups that will decide the AFL Grand Final winner

JOSH KENNEDY v LIAM SHIELS

This one is all about damage limitation for Hawthorn.

Shiels’ role will be to limit Kennedy’s influence around the stoppages, but there’s no doubt it’s going to be a tough day for the Hawks man.

In their round eight meeting this year, Kennedy destroyed the Hawks with a 36 disposal, 10 clearance performance and Shiels simply cannot allow a reoccurance of that day to happen on the grandest of stages.
