The Sydney Swans take on Geelong in Melbourne tonight for a spot in the 2016 AFL grand final.

The Swans go into the match without skipper Jarrad McVeigh (pictured) but will be boosted by the return of Kurt Tippett, despite his fractured jaw.

NIRS footys Chris Johnson says with a grand final spot ahead for the winner, it will be the team that handles that pressure the best that will prevail.
