        Q1 20:46
        Sydney defenders won four of their five one-on-one contests in the opening quarter of today's match, and did not concede a mark to a Brisbane forward inside 50. The Swans average a win from 22 per cent of their defensive one-on-one's this season, the sixth-lowest win rate of any side.

        Q1 20:46
        Sydney won the hitout count 14-5 in the opening quarter. But such is the class of the Lions midfield that they have essentially reversed this ruck dominance and won the clearances 11-5. They launched three of their four goals in the first term from this source.
