And it’s a similar story at the SCG where the Swans have piled on a massive nine goals in the opening period to all but finish the contest there too.
It’s one-way traffic as the hosts dominate the ball with huge advantages in possessions 106-82 and marks 27-6, while also leading possessions contested 46-43, marks contested 4-2, tackles 28- 22, turnovers 14. -13 and free throws 6-2.
Sydney is also up in the inside 50 20-9 and shooting 12-5.
9.3 (57) is Sydney’s best first quarter against Adelaide and the best since Round 18, 1997 (10.5.65 against Melbourne).
