The Sydney Swans continued their return to form in fine style with a comprehensive 43-point victory over the Western Bulldogs at Manuka Oval in Canberra.
The Bulldogs received a welcome financial compensation to move their home game to the nation's capital, but the loss of home ground advantage was illustrated by a predominantly red and white crowd. The Swans, with better local knowledge, dominated from start to finish against a flat Bulldogs lineup that were never in the contest.
I made the trip down to Canberra for the weekend - down the Highway, past the relocated Big Merino and Lake George, which in its drought-ravaged state bears a remarkable resemblance to a lunar landscape. Here's some pics I took at the game. Enjoy!!!
Opening bounce:
Brad Johnson kicks the Bulldogs' first goal:
Leo Barry drives the Swans out of trouble:
Amon Buchanan is tackled:
Spider gets a possession:
Looking towards the outer ground:
Michael O'Loughlin has a shot:
Peter Street wins a boundary throw-in:
Adam Goodes goes for the speckie:
Barry Hall has a shot:
O'Loughlin has a shot from the Bradman Stand side:
The crowd announcement:
Some strong tackling:
Nic Fosdike makes a lead:
The scoreboard tells the tale, a comfortable Swans victory:
The Swans warm down after the game:
