A summary of match report, with thanks
Griffith produced a brilliant second half comeback to keep their season alive with an 11-point win over Coolamon on Sunday. The Hoppers gave up a 27-point half-time lead to crash out of this year's premiership race, 10.16 (76) to 10.5 (65) in the elimination final at Robertson Oval. After producing a terrible first half, Griffith produced a spectacular second half on the back of a midfield resurgence.

It started with a five-goal third term that drew the Swans within 12 points at the final change. Faced with an almighty task kicking into a strong breeze, Griffith kicked three goals of the final term to enjoy a magnificent win. The win gives the Swans a home semi-final next Sunday against Mangoplah-Cookardinia United-Eastlakes. Swans coach Adrian Pavese put the comeback down to cool heads from a 'special group.'"We didn't lose our cool, we didn't panic," he said. (The Area News - Monday September 4, 2017).
