Brownlow Medal 3:Jude Bolton (SY) 2:Adam Goodes (SY) 1:Josh Kennedy (SY)
After a close 1st half, the swans must've had a good pep talk as they came out with all guns blazing to destroy a determined Port. The swans piled on 7 goals in the 3rd and 6 in the 4th to win convincingly.
3 goals to Sam Reid, and a whopping 12 tackles to the Man of Steel, Jude Bolton, and also 33 disposals, and 31 to Goodes.

Round 9 v Hawthorn, SCG
Sydney 8.12 60 Hawthorn 15.16 106
Brownlow Medal 3:Lance Franklin (HW) 2:Grant Birchall (HW) 1:Luke Hodge (HW)
In a reversal of last weeks form, the swans again had a tight 1st half, only this time it was Hawthorn that blew the swans out of the water. 6 goals to Buddy Franklin, 5 in the 2nd half, and the swans had no answer. The hawks were just too clean and desperate for the ball. No recognised Ruckman for the Hawks saw Roughead star in that role.
Hawks by 46. 3 goals to McGlynn, and 27 touches to Hannebery.
4-3-1.
