SYDNEY'S powerhouse performance against Geelong on Friday night hasn't escaped the attention of ladder-leading Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley.
The Swans 110-point demolition of the Cats was as impressive as any performance this season and Hinkley knows his side will face perhaps the biggest test of its premiership ambitions when travelling to the SCG in two weeks' time.

"It was certainly some really powerful football, there's no doubt about that," Hinkley said.
"I think they've shown over the last month they're getting better. They've been spending time together and they're playing good, strong footy.
Sydney inflicted Geelong's worst ever defeat with a dominant 110-point win at the SCG on Thursday night.
"They've got a great forward line that everyone knows about. They went after that forward line, they've got it now and they're making sides have to come and play against that and do your best to stop them.

"They're a side that's going to cause significant problems for everyone."
The Swans have firmed as flag favourites this morning but Hinkley doesn't feel it takes any pressure off his side — because there wasn't any in the first place.
"As I've said plenty of times that's an external pressure people want to put on us," he said.
"It's not one we even worry about. We know we've just got to play this week."
The Power flew out of Adelaide this morning for Saturday's game against Melbourne in Alice Springs.
