Minor premiers, the Sydney Swans, renew hostilities against cross-town rival Greater Western Sydney in the first qualifying final at ANZ Stadium on Saturday, September 10 at 3.20pm EST.
Giants coach Leon Cameron's men will embark on their first finals series since joining the AFL in 2012.
The Swans enter the clash having annihilated Richmond by 113 points at the SCG on Saturday, while the Giants also tasted victory in round 23 with a 37-point triumph over injury-hit North Melbourne.
On Thursday, the AFL reached an agreement with ANZ Stadium to play the Swans' home finals at the SCG, with the exception of a Sydney derby, given the game will likely attract a crowd in excess of the 48,000 capacity at the SCG.
