The Sydney Swans have clean swept the coaches votes following their dominant 51-point victory over Collingwood at Windy Hill in Round 10 of the competition.

The Swans were looking to rebound from last week's disappointing loss to Carlton, and they did so in style with Chloe Molloy, Laura Gardiner, Taylor Smith, Zippy Fish, Cynthia Hamilton and Tanya Kennedy all standing up to earn votes from the coaches. The Swans forward line impressed from the get go, deadly in front of goal to essentially lock away the 12.8.80 to 4.5.29 win by quarter-time. 

Molloy finished with three goals, 15 disposals and four tackles to earn eight votes, while Gardiner was busy all afternoon to finish with a mammoth 35 disposals, seven tackles and five clearances to earn seven votes.

Smith saw action in both the ruck and forward line, proving dangerous in both positions to earn five votes following her three goal, 12 disposals, 21 hit out performance.

Fish provided plenty of drive off half-back, playing 100 per cent game time and playing a crucial hand in goals and defensive movements to finish with 22 disposals and 456m gained to earn four votes.

Hamilton was instrumental early, particularly in the opening term to set up the victory, ti finish with 3 goals, 14 disposals to earn four votes.

Kennedy showed the tough, gritty style of football she is known for, bustling and crashing her way through to great effect, including kicking a very neat third-term goal to earn two votes with a goal, 21 disposals, four tackles and five clearances.
