Remarkably, the quarter lasted more than 31 minutes. Final break: – Sydney 9.12 (66) lead Richmond 3.8 (26) Goal: Chad Warner for Sydney It’s two goals in two minutes for the Swannies. They’re home. They’ll be playing for percentage shortly. Sydney are charging towards a seven-goal lead. If I was Dean Cox (and, no, I’m certainly not) I’d be asking my charges for a 10-goal win. Q3, 26.53 – Sydney 9.11 (65) lead Richmond 3.7 (25) Advertisement Goal: Jordon for the Swans Another Sydney major at the 25-minute mark. 3QT around the corner It’s going to be relatively short quarter, too. It’s only the Swans booting goals. Leading possession-winners: 19 - Nick Blakey 18 - Tim Taranto, Riley Bice 16 - Luke Trainor, Dion Prestia, Callum Mills, Sam Banks ‘Do something special’: Blues hunt key win without McKay Harry McKay’s sore knee has dealt Carlton a significant blow on the eve of their must-win game against Essendon, forcing the club to make a fifth change. McKay missed Thursday’s main training session and the Blues confirmed on Saturday morning that he will sit out Sunday’s MCG blockbuster against their arch-rivals. Hudson O’Keeffe will make his AFL debut as McKay’s replacement, while Michael Voss had already recalled Jack Silvagni, Zac Williams, Orazio Fantasia and Alex Cincotta for the critical clash. The Blues are mired in a 4-7 record and a misfiring attack as they return from their bye. With McKay out, Charlie Curnow is now their main key forward. Fellow forward Lachie Fogarty is acutely aware his optimism is an unpopular opinion, but he feels the Blues can do plenty in the second half of the season. Carlton have been in most games this year and showcased what is possible with an excellent round-seven win over Geelong. “I have a lot of belief that we can still do something special. A lot of people would find that hard to believe,” Fogarty told AAP. “We’re doing a lot of things right in terms of defence and our contest work has been as good as ever. “Again, it probably goes back to the scores per inside 50s - we rank 18th in the competition. It’s something we’ve been getting after for a while. “We’re working on that connection between midfielders and forwards and making sure we’re running the right patterns.” Advertisement Tigers make their sub Goal: Grundy for the Swans It’s a match-winning lead now. Six goals in a row for Sydney. Brodie Grundy joins the party. Richmond’s haven’t booted a major in a long time. This match is heading to a predictable conclusion. Q3, 10.35 – Sydney 7.9 (51) lead Richmond 3.7 (25) Goal: Five on the trot for Sydney Five minutes into the third quarter Hayden McLean gets busy. He finds the big sticks. That’s FIVE goals in a row for the Swans. It’s all Sydney now. Few would be tipping a Richmond recovery from here. It’s some of Sydney’s seasoned campaigners (they’re a grand final team, don’t forget) who are proving the difference .… Blakey, Heeney Q3, 5.19 – Sydney 6.9 (45) lead Richmond 3.7 (25) Advertisement Up and going in the third term While it’s a fresh day in Melbourne, there’s no sign of rain on the horizon.
