THERE were no words of wisdom from Sydney Swans coach John Longmire at thee quarter time, just cold, hard facts.

After the Swans kicked out to a 16-point lead at half-time, the Power kicked four goals in the third to reduce the margin to just three points and looked as if they could storm home.

But the Swans responded, slotting six final-term majors to ensure they won their eighth consecutive game against the Power and their third in a row this season.

"We talked about Port leading into the game; there's no surprises and that's what we discussed," he said.

"They're coming and they're hard - that's to be expected and now it's the other team to give a bit back.

"I thought the players were able to do that, they steeled themselves in the last quarter."

The Swans allowed Fremantle to kick six consecutive goals in the third term last week and Port also entered the final quarter with the run of play on Saturday.

While admitting his team had suffered lapses in both games, Longmire praised their ability to steal back momentum at vital periods in the game.

"I think it's super," he said.

"The young blokes kept on going at the level they were going at and to have a six-goal-to-three last quarter away from home, when the opposition had the momentum at three-quarter time, was pleasing."

The only dampener for the Swans was the report of star Adam Goodes, who was charged with rough conduct for a collision with the Power's Jacob Surjan.

Goodes and Surjan both slid for a loose ball and collided head on.

Surjan wasn't injured in the clash and Longmire had nothing to say about the incident.

"He got reported. I can't talk about it," he said.

Longmire said he didn't know why the Swans had managed to be so dominant over the Power in recent times, nor did he really care.

"Teams from year to year change so much … we've made 33 changes to our senior list of 44 players in three years, so we've got a significantly different football team and so has the opposition," he said.

"Your record is what it is I guess, but I don't spend too much time thinking about the reasons why."

Midfielder Josh Kennedy continued his outstanding start to the season, winning the Peter Badcoe VC Medal as the player who best demonstrated the ANZAC spirit in the match.

Kennedy was best afield with 27 disposals (18 contested), seven tackles and eight clearances.

Longmire said Kennedy's size made it difficult for opposition players to stop him.

"He's a hard match-up, he's so big and strong and clean that he takes some beating when he's playing well. He's a big-bodied midfielder, he's hard to shift and he's got real confidence in himself now.

"He's been putting it together for the last couple of years and he's lifting it again I think."
