SYDNEY will be confident of continuing its good form when it meets Port Adelaide on Saturday night.

Port Adelaide (4-8) finally turned the tables in a close finish after four losses this year by three points or less as it hung on against West Coast to claim a nailbiting victory on the road.

The pain of the narrow defeats at least means the Power have a decent percentage to use as a foundation for a surge for the wildcard spots especially if they can build on a strong recent record against the Swans.

Sydney (11-2) pulled off a heist when snatching victory from St Kilda with a goal in the last minute of the match after trailing by as much as 33 points in the second term.

The Swans continue to show that they can win in different ways with the triumph over the Saints their third this year by single figures while their blistering ball movement means they are just as likely to blow teams away. 

Xavier Bamert will make his debut for Port with Harrison Ramm and Kane Farrell coming in, while Christian Moraes, Jacob Wehr and the injured Josh Lai make way.

The Swans have replaced injured pair Justin McInerney and Tom McCartin with Joel Hamling and Harry Cunningham.
