Dayne Zorko dismisses Sydney suspension impact ahead of qualifying final

Brisbane veteran Dayne Zorko insists his team will not underestimate Sydney ahead of their qualifying final at the SCG this Saturday. The Swans enter the match following the suspension of five players, including Nick Blakey, Isaac Heeney, and Chad Warner, for failing to meet club standards. Despite the external criticism of the Swans' internal stability, Zorko argues that the roster still features significant talent and has developed a newfound resilience. He cited the recent qualifying-final result where Hawthorn overcame Fremantle as evidence that home-and-away form does not dictate finals outcomes. Brisbane is aiming to maintain its push for a third consecutive premiership title during this series.
