The Sydney Swans have started the 2022 season in style with a 20-point victory over cross-town rivals, GWS Giants at Accor Stadium on Saturday evening.

Co-Captain Luke Parker led the way with a superb best-on-ground performance which saw him claim his fourth Brett Kirk medal. 

Isaac Heeney kicked three goals as did Ollie Florent, who was superb throughout including two terrific goals – one straight out of the centre bounce and another after spinning out of a tackle and breaking clear.
