Playing in the annual Indigenous round clash, Swifts easily dealt with the Lakers to win 40.23.263 to 4.7.31.

The Baggies put together their biggest score of the season, moving to within one game of third place.

Swifts began the game strongly, and continued to attack relentlessly throughout the match.

An eight-goal-to-one first quarter was the best for the Lakers, as they went on to concede 10 goals in the second and 11 goals in both the third and fourth quarters to see the margin blow out past the 200-point mark.

Multiple Swifts players had a day out in front of goal, with Andrew Cameron and Ben Taylor both booting eight majors and Zac Armer and Angus Murray finishing with bags of five to their name.

Taylor was best in ground, winning the Tim Chatfield medal for his performance. 

Swifts coach Scott Carey said Taylor’s performance was extra special considering he was in doubt to play the game.

“He (Taylor) was 50-50 to play as he hurt his knee on Thursday," he said. “It sort of came out of the blue how he just turned it on and was able to push aside any worries about the knee.”

Taylor kicked his goals running through the midfield rather than as a forward.

Carey said he was impressed with the way his team started the game.

“It was probably our best first quarter of the year. The boys started like a house on fire,” he said.

“We are stoked with how the boys were able to back up the strong start with a solid four quarter effort.”

Carey said the occasion of the Indigenous round game has become a terrific one for both clubs.

“It is a great tradition, and hopefully it gets bigger and bigger,” he said. “It was a great success and hopefully we can continue it at Taylors Lake’s ground next year.”
