Mansfield made it back-to-back wins when it clawed its way back from a four goal deficit over Shepparton.
Coach Simon Dolling knows his troops can’t afford to give up a four to five goal head start against the reigning premier.
George Burbury played his best game for the club with five goals while others to play well were Adam Boshevski, Chris Gallagher, ruckman Mark Jones, forward Benjamin Fagan and Chris Hensby
The Swans stable of premiership stars all stood tall in the win.
Tom Preece, Tyson Sidebottom, Andrew Riordan, Justin Maddern and Quade Johnstone all led by example while Hayden Best would have been thrilled with the form of Nicholas Calandro who missed last year’s grand final win.
