The pendulum of AFL power in Sydney might not yet have swung to the Giants, but is it starting to take a westward tilt?Through the first four seasons of Greater Western Sydneys existence it would have been unthinkable they could challenge the perennially contending Swans for top dog status in the harbour city.If the Swans fall to Adelaide in their SCG semi-final on Saturday, the Giants will have gone deeper into the season than the Swans for the first time, despite finishing three places below them on the ladder.Theres no doubt the sense of rivalry between the two neighbours has intensified after a weekend in which the Giants won high stakes derbies at two levels.A 36-point preliminary final win on Saturday was followed by a four-point GWS victory in Sundays NEAFL grand final.GWS have won their past two AFL and three NEAFL games against the Swans despite Sydney finishing minor premiers in both competitions.The Giants own the two biggest wins over Sydney this season, having thumped them by 42 points at Spotless Stadium in round 12.The closest game between the two in 2016 was Sydneys 25-point win at the SCG in round three.There were signs as far back as March that GWS were ready to slug it out with their more established intra-city rival.They beat the Swans by 34 points in a pre-season game in which both clubs fielded a strong side.The Swans freely acknowledge the strides the Giants have made, but arent prepared to concede the Sydney balance of power is starting to shift west.I dont think so, said Swans NEAFL coach Rhyce Shaw.When you get that pool of talent there I think they were always going to grow and they are going to grow really quickly.They are showing what 50 to 100 games does for you and when you get to that point you start to kick on and they really have.GWS chairman Tony Shepherd stressed the wins over the Swans underlined the depth of his club and proved they were the real deal.Any serious contender in the finals must have a strong reserves team and the Giants have proven they have a strong reserves team, Shepherd told AAP.The two Sydney clubs could potentially meet once more this season in the grand final.While the Giants arent looking any further than their preliminary final engagement on Saturday week against either Hawthorn or Western Bulldogs, star forward Jeremy Cameron admits its a tantalising prospect.If it comes down to that, it will be enormous wouldnt it?

MINNEAPOLIS -- Brian Doziers milestone home run led to his first career curtain call and a satisfying win for the Minnesota Twins.Dozier hit his 25th homer of the season and the 100th of his career, leading Tyler Duffey and the Twins over the Kansas City Royals 5-3 Saturday night and ending a four-game losing streak.After slumping badly to start the season, Dozier has been one of the top hitters in the majors for almost two months. Hes hit 17 homers since June 25, most in the majors over that span, and hes even baffled a Hall of Fame hitter with his surge.Im not sure what it feels like to be in the groove that hes in, said Twins manager Paul Molitor, who got 3,319 hits in big league career.I know back there in May he talked about having a couple days where he worked on some things, some things started to click, and its been an extended period now where hes been one of the better offensive players in the league, he said.Dozier doubled to lead off the first inning and scored on the first of Robbie Grossmans three hits. In the sixth inning he followed Eddie Rosarios two-run shot with a towering drive deep into the second deck in left.Teammate Eduardo Escobar pushed Dozier out of the dugout to acknowledge the crowd after he circled the bases.Just dont ask him to explain his turnaround.If I had a clear-cut answer Id tell you, Dozier said. You make adjustments, you start seeing the ball, you stay behind the ball . everything feels very comfortable.For the second time this season, the Twins homered three times off Royals starter Dillon Gee (4-6), who gave up five earned runs on 11 hits and one walk in 5 1/3 innings.The first five innings ... we were battling pretty good and the curveball was good, Gee said. We were able to battle our way through five, and in the sixth it just fell apart.Duffey (8-8) won for the third time in three starts this month. He allowed two runs on six hits in seven innnings, striking out six.dddddddddddd.His outing was especially timely given the recent troubles of Minnesotas starting staff. In the previous three games, Twins starters lasted a combined 10 innings.The more that the short outings get compounded, the more that it taxes your team collectively, Molitor said. You need a little relief. Long starts are right up there with off days.Ryan Pressly pitched a scoreless eighth and Brandon Kintzler allowed an unearned run in the ninth but held on for his 11th save in 12 chances.Cheslor Cuthbert hit his 10th home run of the season in the third inning to tie it at 1. But Grossman hit a leadoff home run in the fifth to put the Twins on top for good.CUTHBERT CRUSHINGCuthbert took over third base for the injured Mike Moustakas in late May, and the rookie has been on a tear since the All-Star break. After going 1 for 4 on Saturday hes hitting .336 since July 15. He also had four straight multihit games earlier this week and hasnt gone hitless in consecutive games since June 15-16.BULLPEN SHUFFLEThe Twins switched lefties in their bullpen on Saturday, calling up Ryan ORourke from Triple-A Rochester and designating Andrew Albers for assignment. ORourke had a 4.91 ERA in eight appearances with the Twins earlier this season. Albers made one appearance for the Twins this season, giving up five runs in six innings of relief in the second game of a doubleheader against Houston on Thursday.UP NEXTLHP Hector Santiago will try to earn his first victory for the Twins on Sunday.
