The Swans seized local bragging rights in front of a near-record crowd at the SCG, while the Giants are set to lose one of their stars to injury and another to suspension.
The Swans have sounded a warning to the rest of the AFL after claiming local bragging rights with an emphatic 29-point win on Saturday, leaving the Giants to count a potentially heavy cost through injury and suspension.
Gulden, who had a game-high 29 disposals, five clearances and kicked one goal, was awarded the Brett Kirk Medal as the best player on the field – but any one of probably five or six players could have made a reasonable claim.“It was a hard tough game – two pretty good teams, playing reasonable footy,” said Swans coach John Longmire.
“They had a real thirst for the contest we didn’t have,” Giants coach Adam Kingsley said. “ comprehensively beaten.”
