Sydney have one hand on the McClelland Trophy after a stunning three-point win over Geelong in one of the games of the AFLW season.

Superstar Chloe Molloy kicked three goals, including a pearler from the boundary line, as the Swans held on in a tense finish to secure their spot in the preliminary final.

The result also means they are in the box seat to secure the McClelland Trophy and the $1m prize that comes with it.

The McClelland Trophy is awarded to one club based on the finishing positions of both their men’s and women’s teams.

Following the conclusion of each finals series, clubs are assigned a ranking from 1 to 18 in reverse order – the premiers receiving 18 points, down to the wooden-spooners getting one point.

The Swans secured 16 points for their preliminary final effort in the men’s competition, and are now guaranteed at least 15 points for making the AFLW preliminary final.

They will be guaranteed the prize if Carlton beat Hawthorn later on Saturday night. Preliminary finalists Melbourne and North Melbourne are already out of contention.

Sydney will now face the Kangaroos next weekend for a spot in the grand final.

The Swans upstaged the Cats despite a chaotic 24 hours that saw them arrive in Geelong late on Friday night.
