Sydney still without its three contested mids in Mills, Parker and Adams, despite knocking off the Dees last week. Warner steals the ball off Sidebottom and slots the opener for the Swans, Nick Daicos replies from 50, Collingwood up 1 at quarter-time. Rowbottom goals from 50 and Sydney kicks away. Warner slots another and Swans have 6 on the trot. Schultz floats one over his shoulders from his first goal for his new club, after a shocker last week. Amartey marking strong for Sydney, they're up 18 at the half. The Swans kick further away in the 3rd, before Nick Daicos is literally given a shot on goal for nothing, but misses and Warner kicks another. Elliott with a much needed goal for the Pies to end the 3rd-term, the margin 41 points. Where's Darcy Moore this week and last, having no influence. Elliott goals again, but Collingwood make little inroad, Sydney home by 33 points. The Pies handily won the hit-outs and were +5 in clearances, Sydney with more of the footy and 21 more tackles applied. The Swans with 4 more inside 50's, for 9 more scoring shots. Heeney again best afield, with 29 disposals, 3 contested marks, 6 inside 50's, 481 metres gained, 2 goals and 2 assists. Warner 27 disposals, 7 clearances and 3 straight goals. Rowbottom 16 disposals, 13 tackles, 5 intercepts, a goal and an assist. Gulden 30 disposals, 7 inside 50's, 650 metres gained and 2 assists.
