Q4 10 MIN, SYD 74 WC 49

Hill takes the mark near the behind post and centres it to Jetta in a much better position.

But from 15m out directly in front, and to a chorus of boos, the former Swan hits the post!

That is atrocious!

McGlynn's long ball forward is perfectly-weighted and hits Hewett, running back, between the eyes.

From 20m out directly in front, Hewett boots the Swans' fourth goal in a row and that makes it very tough for West Coast.

McVeigh's snap shot from 30m out is true and the Swans are back in control.

It's been a good response by the hosts after the Eagles piled on three quick goals.
