Round 15 Match Report v West Coast Eagles

For the third time over the past six games, Swan Districts has pulled off a miraculous thrilling victory with Tom Edwards once again the hero in Saturday's after the siren victory against the West Coast Eagles at Steel Blue Oval.

Swans were having a horror run of luck losing close games earlier this season, but that now appears to be turning with Saturday's win after the siren at Steel Blue Oval.

It's the second win for Swan Districts to come after the siren with Jarrod Cameron kicking the winning goal against Perth back in Round 9 and then last week it was Edwards also the hero with four last quarter goals against Subiaco.

Again on Saturday, the Eagles were in front when the siren sounded. However, just before it went Edwards took a huge mark inside-50 for the black-and-whites.

The siren went as he walked back but he never looked like missing and celebrated accordingly as Swan Districts won 12.11 (83) to 12.8 (80).

The victory improves Swans to a 6-8 record on the season with four games remaining and means they are still yet to lose to West Coast in the WAFL, having won all eight meetings between the two teams.

It took just over a minute for West Coast to get the first goal of the game courtesy of Tyrell Dewar before the visitors soon had two on the board with Zane Sumich also kicking truly.

Swan Districts got on the board thanks to Jarvis Pina with Jesse Palmer then also adding another to level scores up.

Sumich kicked a second to put West Coast in front before Ryan Kemp added one for Swans, Palmer then kicked a second and the quarter ended with Zane Trew getting West Coast's fourth to cut the Swan Districts lead to three points.

It took almost seven minutes for the first goal of the second quarter and that went the way of Swans courtesy of Tom Edwards. Swans also added the next two goals through Kemp and Aidan Clarke to push out to a 20-point lead.

However, the Eagles stayed in touch with goals before half-time to Sumich and Luke Edwards to cut that Swans advantage to eight points at the main break.

West Coast's quest for that first win since Round 10 last year continued with a strong start to the second half with goals to Josh Burke and Shannon Lucassen returning them to the lead.

That advantage was out to 10 points when Jed Kemp added another goal for the Eagles and Swans needed to respond. The home team did that with the last two goals of the third stanza thanks to Brad Lynch and Kemp to push back out to a three-point lead by three quarter-time.

West Coast was back in front with the first goal of the final term kicked by Isiah Winder before Swans were back in front with a goal from co-captain Chris Jones.

The lead continued to seesaw the rest of the way with West Coast back in front thanks to Cooper Nitschke before Edwards answered for Swan Districts.

Jordyn Baker put the Eagles back on top before Harry Barnett had a chance to seal the win with a tough snap around the body. He gathered the ball, but was being pushed toward the boundary.

He did have a free teammate who could have run into an open goal, but it would have been mighty tough for Barnett to get it to him given the angles. Instead, he snapped a behind and Swans had one final chance from the kick-in.

Pina took the kick-in and found Jesse Turner who marked strongly. He got the ball back to the hard running Pina who drove the ball inside-50 where Edwards took a trademark high-flying mark over his defender.

The siren sounded soon after and with Edwards taking the shot from 45m, for the second straight week he played the hero for Swans as he kicked truly as his teammates celebrated wildly as they remained unbeaten against West Coast in the WAFL.

Including kicking the game winner after the siren, Tom Edwards finished with another three goals to go with 16 possessions and nine marks for Swan Districts.

Ryan Kemp also kicked three goals with Jesse Palmer adding two for the black-and-whites.

Jesse Turner had another big game on the wing for Swan Districts finishing with 33 possessions, eight inside 50s, seven marks and seven tackles.

Jackson McLachlan also picked up 27 touches for the black-and-whites, Josh Cipro 24, Aidan Clarke 23, Tobe Watson 22, Jarvis Pina 22 and Lachlan Riley 18.
