Swans Dominate Tigers to Reignite Finals Hopes

The Sydney Swans returned to form with a convincing 44-point victory over the Richmond Tigers at the MCG. The Swans took control early, dominating contested possession and applying relentless forward pressure throughout the match.

Chad Warner stood out with multiple key goals, while Jordan Dawson's intercept marking in defence kept the Tigers under constant pressure. The Tigers managed a late first-quarter goal, but Sydney quickly responded with two rapid majors to seize momentum.

Richmond’s youngsters showed fight, especially forward Seth Campbell, but it wasn’t enough to match Sydney’s physical midfield performance. The Swans led 14.12 (96) to 11.14 (80) at the final siren, marking a significant win in their finals push.

This result boosts Sydney’s confidence and puts pressure on the teams above them, whilst Richmond continue to search for consistency.
