English back in for the Dogs, Rowbottom kicks the first goal for Sydney. Amartey takes a good contested mark and converts, the Swans start to run away with it early. Amartey again with a good contested mark and goal. Umpire gives Johannisen a free goal. Sydney quickly replies though, Swans up 37 at quarter-time. The Dogs get another gift from the umpire, absolutely ridiculous. Ladhams subbed out for the Swans, no real backup ruck. Bont kicks a miracle goal, Sydney up 29 at the half. Heeney manages to weave through 5 Bulldog players from the boundary and kick a goal, to open the 3rd. Buddy turns down a set-shot from 15 out, plays on and misses, but then wants to take the set-shot soon after from 50, ends up missing both. He and Papley missing many shots, Sydney do kick the lead back out though, up 49 at 3-quarter time and home by 53 points. The Dogs annihilated in this one. The Swans handily won the hit-outs, with Reid actually getting the better of English. Sydney +1 in clearances with more of the footy, 22 more tackles and dominating in the air. The Swans with 12 more inside 50's and 12 more scoring shots. Mills best afield, with 23 disposals, 5 clearances, 5 inside 50's, 16 tackles, 446 metres gained and a goal. Reid 15 disposals, 25 hit-outs, 7 clearances, 13 tackles and an assist. Warner 25 disposals, 11 inside 50's, 667 metres gained, 2 goals and an assist. Heeney 17 disposals and 4 straight goals.
