Round 13 v Geelong
After a blistering opening quarter which saw the Swans kick seven-goals-to-one against Geelong, the then reigning premiers finished strongly to take the lead in the final moments of the match under lights on a Friday night at the SCG.
Swans substitute Andrejs Everitt stepped up when his team needed it most, kicking a tough set-shot goal from 45 metres out on a slight angle with just 90 seconds remaining on the clock.
A last-gasp tackle by Josh Kennedy ensured a six-point win for the Swans which gave John Longmire’s men plenty of confidence for the remainder of the year.
"Winning the close games makes a massive difference," Swans coach John Longmire said after the match.
Nick Smith and Ted Richards were strong in defence while Kieren Jack and Ryan O’Keefe were influential in the midfield.
