The Swans battling against a strong breeze in the first quarter couldn’t have had any worse luck with a season ending injury to Captain Simon Lovell and other injuries to Ben Layton and Roly Wintle in the opening 10 minutes. The Bombers capitalised on a strong breeze kicking 7 goals to zip in the first term. To the Swans credit they fought back hard in the second to kick all 6 goals for the term and be down by 1 goal at the long break.
The Swans fought hard in the third quarter to give them selves a chance in the final term but unfortunately ran out of legs with only 1 on the bench for most of the day. Jason Bevan worked tirelessly in the ruck, while Mitch Grivins, Doug Perich, Harley Schmidt and Josh Mapstone worked hard all day, supported by Phil Tsourlinis and Nathan Box in the backline.
The Swans have a week to get over a few injuries before taking on the improving Nimbin Demons at home.
Goal kickers for day: 6 to Adam Rhodes, 3 to Josh Mapstone, and singles to Harley Schmidt and Daniel Bruce.
Best on the day were Jason Bevan, Mitch Grivins, Josh Mapstone, Harley Schmidt, Doug Perich and Eddie Burton
