While there were wild scenes for Sydney, the Giants were ‘really’ hurting.
“It’s a game we really wanted to win and we had our opportunities to win it.Swans players celebrated wildly after the game.The Giants’ Alyce Parker kicked the opening goal after an ill-kicked ball from first-year Swans co-skipper Lucy McEvoy bounced off teammate Cynthia Hamilton into the hands of Giants midfielder Jess Doyle.
Nicola Barr brought the Giants their second major on the run with her non-preferred left foot in the opening minutes of the second quarter.And just when it looked like the Swans could get on terms with a goal from Ally Morphett , midfielder Rebecca Beeson provided an instant reply to increase the Giants’ margin.
A third-quarter surge by GWS, thanks to goals by Madison Brazendale , Georgia Garnett and Haneen Zreika , brought the gap to a game-high 25-point lead. But it was former Collingwood players Aliesha Newman and Chloe Molloy who kept the Swans chances alive, booting one major each in the third stanza.Your cookie settings are preventing this third party content from displaying.
