AFL finals 2024 LIVE updates: 'Half-shirted' Papley drills vital goal ...

Swans star Tom Papley could have two more matches left in this finals series and he is already among the leaders in scoreboard impact points since the 2021 finals.

The Swans are 25 points to the good as we reach half-time in this preliminary final.

Rioli had his shot for goal after the siren punched over for a behind - he was the only Power forward who made any dent in the home side that term.

The Power have to find a way to slow down the Swans, especially after turnovers.

But the good news for them is that they are only four goals down when it felt like a much bigger lead during that second term.

Papley is so fiercely focused on this contest that he even gave teammate James Rowbottom a short spray for not handballing to him.

Rowbottom had won a turnover, grabbed the ball and run forward, handballing ahead of himself but not directly to Papley.

The ball bounced out of bounds and Papley shot the mother of all dirty looks at his mate, then gestured with a handball motion.

Papley is sparing no one tonight as he chases the grand final.

Another of Papley’s sparring partners, Willie Rioli, has just booted his first goal and gee the Power needed that.

Swans 55, Power 29 with two mins to go in Q2.

Hayden McLean is the latest Swan to kick a goal in this second term and he had his tongue hanging out as he celebrated his kick for goal.

Seven commentator Matthew Richardson says we have reached a “dangerous” time in the match with the Swans growing their lead to 27 points.

Papley just won a free kick and booted his second goal before pumping his fist and screaming out.

The Power are on the ropes.

Swans 49, Power 22 with nine mins to go in Q2.

Isaac Heeney has got in on the goal-kicking pulling in a contested mark in the pocket and then snapping the goal.

Papley and Chad Warner celebrated the goal but firing up their opponents with some pushing and shoving. Tempers are flaring and those two look to be the cause.
