Early in the game, but a positive start for the Swans. They lead uncontested possessions 16-3 and have taken nine marks to nil, as they look to control the ball methodically moving forward.

17:03
Each goal in the first quarter has come as a result of an intercept. Brisbane rank No.1 this season for score launches from intercepts per game, while the Swans rank No. 14 in this category.

A solid start from the Swans, taking a five point lead to quarter time. The Swans were precise in their ball movement, with an uncontested possession advantage of 50-22 and a 21-10 uncontested marks differential. The Swans also kicked the ball well in the slippery conditions, recording a 72 percent kicking efficiency against the Lions at just 55 percent.
Quarter 2
00:00
Q2 is now underway.
04:18
The Lions are getting their hands to the ball first at stoppages, but so far tonight haven't turned that into an advantage at the clearances. Brisbane lead first-possession from stoppages 14-9, however the Swans lead clearances 12-11 at this stage. Aliir Aliir has recorded four hitouts to advantage so far tonight, a high percentage from his seven overall hitouts.

BEHIND - Lions (Charlie Cameron)
16:41
The Lions haven't been willing to move the ball quickly in the second quarter, taking 11 uncontested marks so far for the quarter and not playing on from any of them. The Swans in comparison, have taken just the seven uncontested marks for the quarter, but have played on from 43 percent of those.
18:24
A noticeable change in this second quarter has been the Lions slowing things down. After the Swans led uncontested marks 21-10 in the first quarter, the Lions lead this category 15-8 thus far in the second quarter. Uncontested possessions have also evened up after a large advantage to the Swans in the first quarter, with just a plus-three differential to Sydney this quarter.
21:12
Ryan Clarke has done a solid job negating the influence of Lachie Neale tonight, with the Swans midfielder restricting Neale to just seven disposals so far in the game, while collecting seven of his own. Neale averages 28 disposals per game in 2020, ranked No. 1 in the competition.
22:02
SCORE
GOAL - Lions (Zac Bailey)
24:57
A constructive quarter from the Lions, negating Sydney's possession-based game plan and keeping the Swans scoreless. The Lions dominated clearances 12-7 in the second quarter, inside 50s 14-7 and increased their pressure in their forward half, with 86 pressure points to the Swans 57.

SCORE
BEHIND - Swans (Tom Papley)
12:36
Tom Papley can't convert his set shot from outside 50 metres and the Swans continue to search for a goal, not scoring one since the 12-minute mark of the first quarter.

SCORE
GOAL - Swans (Tom Papley)

In this final quarter, the Swans ratio has increased to 2.21 and the Lions has increased to 3.00.
