SYDNEY moved into the Toyota AFL Grand Final after an enthralling one-point preliminary final win over Collingwood on Saturday.
The Swans were electric early before holding off the Magpies in a 14.11 (95) to 14.10 (94) victory to book a meeting with Geelong in next week's premiership decider.

It moved Sydney into a first Grand Final since 2016 and ended Collingwood's fairytale season.
Callum Mills (27 disposals) and Luke Parker (23 and a goal) led the Swans' midfield in front of a sold-out SCG.
Tom Papley played a crucial role with three goals, while Sydney has an injury worry ahead of next week after Sam Reid (adductor) was subbed off.
Jack Crisp (29 disposals and a goal) and Scott Pendlebury (29) played well for the Magpies, but their incredible season came to an end in extraordinary fashion.
Collingwood trailed by 36 points early in the third quarter before charging home, only to fall agonisingly short.
