It simply wouldn’t do to not start with the man, and the moment. In his 248th AFL game, David Swallow came in the final quarter and made the ultimate impact with the greatest behind you will ever see kicked.
He wasn’t the only one who made his impact forward of the ball in the final quarter, with the bold decision to swing Mac Andrew paying dividends as the versatile tall marked and goaled with the game on the line at the death.
In his finals debut, Bailey Humphrey played a game well above his age kicking three crucial goals as one of three multiple goalkickers for the SUNS alongside Ben Long and Connor Budarick (two goals apiece).
The midfield battle was always going to be crucial and the engine room stood up big time! Matt Rowellhad 34 disposals and six tackles, Noah Anderson finished with 32 disposals and Jarrod Witts led all comers for the SUNS with eight clearances, narrowly ahead of Alex Davies (six).
Down back Wil Powell was at his calm and collected best in an incredibly hostile atmosphere, Daniel Rioli and John Noble put their wealth of finals experience on display with poise and dash across half-back, while Sam Collins and Bodhi Uwland were immense in their battles against a dangerous Dockers forward set-up.
