The Swans are one win away from another grand final appearance after a stunning comeback victory against GWS
The Swans have smashed the Giants’ September dominance, winning a pulsating qualifying final by six points at the SCG.
For so much of the season, Heeney has been the inspiration for his side and he didn’t disappoint with three goals and a spectacular mark early in the third quarter, climbing onto Giants defender Jack Buckley’s broad shoulder to pluck a mark from the stars that helped spark his team into life. The confrontation set the tone for a contest that frequently brims with tension and the Giants arrived at the SCG happy to upset the finals form book once again and did it with vigour for much of the contest.In the lead-up to the game, the Swans’ midfield trio of Chad Warner, Heeney and Errol Gulden had dominated the headlines and the expectation was that they would continue their dominance of the Giants’ midfield after two commanding wins in the regular season.
The Swans’ normally reliant key defender Lewis Melican cut a frustrated figure, unable to stop a dominant performance from Giants’ forwards Jesse Hogan and Aaron Cadman with three goals each.
