The Baggies opened the game with an eight goal to one quarter, which turned out to be their lowest scoring term for the match.

The Lakers booted three goals in the first half but still trailed by nearly 100 points. The scoring dried up for the home side after the main break as the Baggies piled on the pain.

“In the first quarter I thought they were able to control some of the football and play keepings off really well,” Swifts coach Scott Carey said.

“We took a little bit to get going but we were able to lock down our opponents and take control.”

The visitors kicked 21 second-half goals to finish in front 39.19 (253) to 3.5 (23).

Having played in a variety of positions this season, Andrew Cameron flourished in his return to the forward 50, bagging 14 goals.

“With Ben Martin unavailable ‘Camo’ played a lot deeper in the forward line,” Carey said.

“He got his eye in and kicked incredibly straight. He is hard to match up on when he is up and going.

“The delivery to him was also really good which was very pleasing.”

Zach Salmi also chimed in with eight majors as 12 Baggies hit the scoreboard with goals in the win.

“We were happy enough to give the ball off to the person in the right area. If you were in the right position you would get the football,” Carey said.

Cameron won the Tim Chatfield medal for best on ground. Lachlan Marks was the standout for the Lakers.

A welcome to country and smoking ceremony were held before the annual Indigenous round match, with both teams lining up for a “special moment”.

“It was really amazing. It was a bit of an eye opener and just good to be amongst something like that,” Carey said.

“Taylors Lake did a great job hosting it this year.”

Despite a boost of nearly 25 per cent, the big win did not affect where the Baggies stand on the table, with a fourth-placed finish the most likely result for them now.

Matches against Kalkee and Natimuk United await in a tough finish to the season for Swifts.

“It is not going to get any easier from here on,” Carey said.

“Every week we will have to rock up and play consistent four quarter football. It will be good to have some competitive games in the lead up to finals where the intensity just kicks up that extra gear.”
