The Sydney Swans made it two from two to start their 2022 season, by dispatching a disappointing Geelong outfit by 30 points to record a 17.5 (107) to 10.17 (77) victory at the SCG on Friday night (March 25, 2022).

After weeks of forensic focus, Lance Franklin etched his name in history by becoming only the sixth man in the history of the game to reach 1000 goals, joining Tony Lockett (1360 goals), Gordon Coventry (1299), Jason Dunstall (1254), Doug Wade (1057) and Gary Ablett (1031) in a stratosphere that someone might not reach again. 

Under the bright lights of Friday night football, the 35-year-old delivered yet another box office role to steal the spotlight away from another outstanding performance by John Longmire's team.

Three weeks after putting his future to bed by inking a mega six-year extension, Isaac Heeney continued his ascension into the elite bracket. After kicking three goals in round one, Heeney exploded at the SCG. He booted four goals in the opening half, then added one more to go with 21 disposals.
