The Sydney Swans have produced one of their finest performances of the 2023 VFL season with an emphatic 78-point thumping of GWS on Saturday afternoon.

A relentless 10-goal blitz in the second quarter was the catalyst of a dominant display from the red and white, as the Swans recorded a 9.13 (67) to 22.13 (145) win.

Matt Roberts was incredible 34 disposals, six tackles, and five inside 50s, with while Corey Warner (32 disposals, seven marks, eight inside 50s) , Jake Bartholomaeus (30 disposals), Harrison Arnold (24 disposals, seven marks, two tackles), Will Gould (four goals, 10 marks), and Jaiden Magor (26 disposals, one goal) were amongst the best.

Jacob Konstanty also had his best display since his arrival with four goals and five tackles, while Jack Buller also made his presence known with four majors of his own, and Hugo Hall-Kahan finished with three and 17 disposals.

Although out of the finals race, it was a performance to be proud of for Damian Truslove's and his men, as they have battled their way through a monstrous injury toll during 2023.

The first quarter proved a tough tussle although goals to ruckman Lachlan McAndrew and Peter Ladhams ensured a five-point lead at the main break.

Lachlan Rankin's held his own with 20 disposals for the match, which included six alone in the first quarter. 

The floodgates opened with 10 goals in the second term, including four to Buller, as the other team were unable to withstand the relentless raids from the Swans. 

Gould is also thriving since his move in the forward line, producing some tough one-on-one contests while reaping the rewards with goals of his own.

Two of Buller's goals were courtesy of beautiful inside 50s from Hall-Kahan, while Warner asserted his dominance with countless score involvements alongside Matt Roberts and Nic Shipley. 

Captain Bartholomaeus also joined his midfield contingent with some tough contested efforts, while Arnold also remain composed down back to ultimately inspire the Bloods to a 60-point lead at the main break.

QBE Sydney Swans Academy talents Lachlan Cabor and Indhi Kirk also showed promising signs, with Cabor earning a much-deserved goal in the fourth quarter.
