Sydney have continued their domination of the AFL with a stunning 30-point win over Geelong. The Swans conceded the first six goals of the match, but erased that deficit by half-time before kicking away to a comfortable 16.16 to 12.10 victory. Tom Papley was the hero with four goals, while Errol Gulden, Isaac Heeney and Chad Warner all racked up big numbers. Brodie Grundy was utterly dominant in the ruck as the Cats struggled to contain the blistering Swans.
Geelong had stunned with a cutthroat opening term performance, punishing the hosts from turnover and kicking five goals to none in the opening term. Stengle showed flashes of his premiership best with a magnificent dribbling goal from the pocket, before kicking his second to send the Cats into the first change well on top.
