AFL Round-Up: Swans show no signs of slowing down, Cats stumble again and Eagles cop a reality check
The Swans keep winning, the Dockers snatch a draw against the Magpies, the Cats slump to another loss and the Eagles come crashing back to earth. History says Swans will be grand finalists Thursday night was not Sydney's best performance of 2024, but it was good enough to get the win over an injury-ravaged Western Bulldogs. Carlton's clash against the Gold Coast saw reigning Coleman Medal winner Charlie Curnow manned by Suns young gun Mac Andrew, and the contest within the contest was one to behold. Leek Aleer has his Leo Barry moment It was in the grand final 19 years ago when Swans defender Leo Barry etched his name into AFL folklore with an incredible intercept mark to seal Sydney's premiership win over West Coast. For the Demons, it was important they bounced back after last week's shock 35-point loss to West Coast in Perth and the win over the Saints lifts them to fourth spot on the ladder.
