Lance Franklin fires for Sydney Swans against GWS, Hawthorn Hawks edge out St Kilda

Updated August 18, 2018 22:33:14 Map: Australia The Swans secure an AFL final berth with a win against the Giants and the Hawks scrape home against the Saints, as the Magpies, Cats and Lions also post victories. Quick navigation Buddy Franklin fires as Swans down Giants

(AAP: Brendon Thorne) A barnstorming Lance Franklin has lifted Sydney to a 20-point victory over GWS, booting five goals and spearheading a second-half comeback that could have major ramifications in the race to the finals. The Swans trailed for most of the derby in Homebush and were behind by 21 points during the third term of the low-scoring scrap when they lifted, inspired by Franklin for the umpteenth time this season. Franklin kicked the sealer and consistently troubled GWS, as he did while earning the three Brownlow Medal votes last year at the same venue. The Swans' yips threatened to prove costly but their speed and slick ball movement in the final quarter, in sharp contrast to an undermanned GWS outfit reeling from more injuries, meant they bagged the premiership points. Sydney, written off as finals contenders three weeks ago, is now in the mix for a top-four spot after triumphing 11.14 (80) to 8.12 (60). External Link:Giants v Swans summary GWS co-captain Phil Davis, who played on Franklin during the first term, limped off the ground and into the rooms during the second quarter after being crunched in a marking contest by teammate Rory Lobb. It proved a match-defining moment. Davis played on after halftime despite the painful hip injury but was stationed up forward because he was so badly restricted, leaving Franklin to torment Jeremy Finlayson. Franklin lifted his career tally to 917 goals to overtake Leigh Matthews and clamber into eighth spot on the VFL/AFL's list of all-time goalkickers. External Link:Giants v Swans stats Franklin, who was awarded the Brett Kirk Medal, has struggled to train this year because of a sore heel but continues to stand up in clutch moments for the Swans. Davis, Ryan Griffen (hamstring), Jeremy Finlayson (foot) and Daniel Lloyd (cut eye) kept GWS's medical department, overworked throughout an injury-cursed season, busy. The Giants, pushed to exhaustion during the past fortnight after finishing with no fit players on the bench against Carlton then one fit man on the bench against Adelaide, ran out of puff in the final term. The rivals forecast a finals-like contest and they did not disappoint, piling on immense pressure and rattling each other in a series of big collisions. Hawks hold off brave Saints

(AAP: Daniel Pockett) Hawthorn has held off an outstanding challenge from St Kilda to win by four points at Docklands, setting up a massive clash next week with Sydney. The Saints rallied from a week of intense scrutiny to nearly pull off one of the season's biggest upsets, though the Hawks won 12.8 (80) to 11.10 (76). St Kilda kicked the only goal of the last quarter as the two teams defended grimly. Hawks pair Jack Gunston and Jarman Impey took crucial marks late in the match as the Saints pressed hard. Hawthorn stayed fourth and is level on points with the fifth-placed Swans, who beat GWS earlier on Saturday night. The winner of the Sydney-Hawthorn SCG clash next Saturday night will finish in the top four. Hawthorn lost veteran key defender James Frawley in the third term with a back injury. External Link:Saints v Hawks summary Jarryn Geary, who was outstanding on Hawks playmaker Isaac Smith, was forced off the field in the last term because of a head knock. Gunston was best afield, kicking four goals and then going into defence late in the match, while the poise of veteran Shaun Burgoyne was crucial. Midfielder Jack Steele was best for the Saints and Jack Lonie kicked a career-best four goals. The game went according to script in the first quarter, with Hawthorn kicking four goals to one. While the Saints were on top in clearances and had more possessions, Hawthorn was more efficient and looked ready to break the game open. But the momentum swung dramatically in the second term as the Saints hit back. External Link:Saints v Hawks stats The lead changed six times and Hawthorn only led by five points at the main break. St Kilda was well on top in clearances 28-17 and was up in contested possessions as well, as they put the Hawks under mounting pressure. But the Saints have had a bad habit of dropping away through the middle of games. The signs were bad when Hawthorn went on a four-goal run to lead by a game-high 24 points in the third quarter. But Lonie kicked three goals late in the third term and the Saints were only nine points down at the last break. Jade Gresham, another of the Saints' best players, kicked a goal two minutes into the last quarter - but it proved the last goal of the game. Magpies zero in on top four with win over Port

(AAP: David Crosling) Port Adelaide's season is hanging by a thread, while a top-four finish is within Collingwood's reach after it stormed home to down the Power by 51 points at the MCG. The Magpies held a narrow lead at the final break on Saturday afternoon before booting seven goals to one to run out 17.13 (115) to 10.4 (64) winners. The thumping victory lifts the Magpies to third on the ladder and should be enough to secure a double-chance with lowly Fremantle awaiting in round 23. Ruckman Brodie Grundy starred with 41 hitouts, 25 disposals and a goal, Mason Cox (eight marks) was imposing in the air and Taylor Adams, Steele Sidebottom and Chris Mayne were prolific ball winners. A week after losing to West Coast with a goal after the siren, the Power were again found wanting in a high-stakes game, squandering a promising start and managing just one goal after five minutes of the third quarter. External Link:Magpies v Power summary The Power have now lost five of their past six games and while the Magpies continue to find a way despite a growing injury toll, Ken Hinkley's men look ill-prepared for the September cauldron. They must beat Essendon at Adelaide Oval next Friday night and hope Melbourne lose both their remaining games to stand any chance of making the eight. The Power had the early ascendancy, restricting Scott Pendlebury and Steele Sidebottom with hard tags but the Pies turned the tables with the first three goals of the second quarter. Off-contract Port wingman Jared Polec showed why rivals are queuing to secure his services, weaving through traffic and kicking truly from 40 metres to break Collingwood's run. External Link:Magpies v Power stats But the Magpies were dominating the midfield battle, led by Adams who had 16 disposals and a goal during a brilliant second quarter. Missing spearhead Charlie Dixon to a season-ending leg injury, the Power looked disorganised in their forward half and reluctant to take the game on. A chance to take the lead went begging when the Power dropped their bundle in front of goals, handballing among themselves until Collingwood rushed a behind. The game descended into a scrap after half-time and while the Power trailed by just 13 points at the final break, it took a matter of minutes for a fast-finishing Collingwood to put the result beyond doubt. Ruckman Paddy Ryder booted three majors despite being hampered by a hip injury while Ollie Wines and Steven Motlop fought hard in the midfield. Pies forward Jordan De Goey finished the game on the bench with ice on his calf. Cats smash woeful Dockers by 133 points

(AAP: Julian Smith) Ruthless Geelong kicked a record 23 successive goals against lamentable Fremantle at Kardinia Park to record a 133-point victory that propelled the Cats back into the top eight. The 13th-placed Dockers actually had the best of the opening exchanges and led by nine points at quarter-time on a cold, wet day in Geelong, It turned out to be falsest of false dawns as the visitors were held goalless for the remaining three quarters in what ended up being the heaviest defeat in club history. External Link:Cats v Freo summary The Cats blew the match wide open by kicking 10 goals to nil in the second quarter, with even a heavy rainstorm midway through the term failing to stem the onslaught. The carnage continued in the second half as the Cats powered away to a 24.14 (158) to 3.7 (25) win. All Geelong need to do to guarantee a finals berth for the 11th time in the past 12 years is win again at Kardinia Park next weekend against a Gold Coast team that has recorded only one victory since round five. The Cats replaced Port Adelaide in the top eight after the Power faded badly in a 51-point loss to Collingwood earlier in the day. External Link:Cats v Freo stats Geelong spearhead Tom Hawkins kicked a game-high six goals to close within four majors of Richmond's Jack Riewoldt in the Coleman Medal race. Youngster Brandan Parfitt chimed in with a career-high four goals and Tim Kelly continued his remarkable debut season, tallying 26 possessions and three goals. But the biggest cheer of the day was reserved for returning hero Gary Ablett, who kicked his 400th career goal late in the final term with a brilliant curling snap from the left forward pocket. Captain Nat Fyfe and veteran David Mundy were a small handful of Dockers who kept plugging away all day. Lions beat Suns in fiery QClash

(AAP: Darren England) Brisbane has narrowly prevailed over the Gold Coast, with Queensland's AFL rivalry continuing to grow in the four-point win. The Lions rallied from nine points down in the final term to pip the Suns 10.18 (78) to 11.8 (74) and overturn a five-point QClash loss earlier this season in another fiery contest in Carrara. The lead fluctuated in a sloppy but hard-fought second half as the young Suns, led by Alex Sexton (four goals) and Brayden Fiorini (32 disposals) threatened a boilover. But Brisbane withstood the pressure and did enough in the final 20 minutes to consign the Suns to a seventh loss and winless campaign at home this season. The derby fire was sparked on Thursday when Brisbane defender Nick Robertson said the Suns were soft. External Link:Suns v Lions summary And, after a bit of general niggle, that fire erupted in the second term when Sean Lemmens' collected young Lion Brandon Starcevich with a high spoil. Players came from all corners in front of 11,907 spectators, with Dayne Zorko sent flying in the chaos by his chief antagonist Touk Miller. The Suns had edged back into the contest prior to the incident, helped by the first-quarter exit of Lions defender Alex Witherden (hamstring). Sexton scored from both pockets before Jack Bowes also threaded the needle as the young Suns midfield held their own. Brisbane's inaccuracy cost them, with Eric Hipwood missing his first five shots at goal and Daniel Rich missing from in front before the Suns hit the lead for the first time in the third term. External Link:Suns v Lions stats Cameron Rayner did his best to improve their ratio with a booming 60-metre effort, while Luke Hodge was a brick wall with five first-quarter intercepts. Brisbane took an early 20-point lead but the Suns lifted their workrate and took their chances as the game grew in intensity. Gold Coast got within six at the main break and had the lead soon after the restart. Harris Andrews' goal - the Lions' sole major for the quarter - put the Lions in front by three after a sloppy third term. Gold Coast, again through some Sexton brilliance, regained the lead before the Lions made the most of their luck to land the final blow. First Allen Christensen kicked straight after being gifted a 50-metre penalty, before a stray kick off the deck went straight to an unmarked Dayne Beams (38 touches) for what would be the decisive goal.

Anyway! I got a tablet recently and i can’t wait to post some art; I feel as though my art has improved since last time I was around these parts.

Looking forward to reuniting with old friends and meeting new ones!
