EVEN when travelling for away games, Charlie Curnow always makes a beeline for the ocean.
Though currently more than 3,800km away from his beloved Tamarama Beach — as the Swans descend on Perth for their blockbuster top-of-the-table clash with the Dockers on Thursday night — the star forward remains locked into his well-versed game-day routine.
Whether it means borrowing a minivan from the team’s staff or commandeering a family member's car, he always finds a way to the water.

Sydney strengthened its grip on the top-two with a win over the Western Bulldogs
SYDNEY’s emphatic 35-point win over the Western Bulldogs on Friday night proved the Swans have steadied the ship.
The energy inside the SCG was electric for the annual Pride Game as the home side executed a dominant performance to secure a 13.12 (90) to 7.13 (55) victory.
After Brisbane completely dismantled their preferred game style the week prior, Sydney showed critical tactical maturity on their home turf to bounce back from that heavy loss.
By adjusting better to the trends their opponents presented, the Swans proved they can play a different style of footy and still get the job done. Instead of their usual overlap run by hand, they successfully relied on more uncontested marks and chipping the ball around to control the game.

Curnow’s sensational six-goal haul bullies the Dogs; English moved to full-back as Grundy dominates
The Swans bounced back in style from last week’s reality check against the Brisbane Lions, with superstar recruit Charlie Curnow booting six goals to power his new side to a 35-point win over the Western Bulldogs at the SCG, 13.12 (90) to 7.13 (55).
The Bulldogs’ backmen will be happy to see the back of Curnow for now, given he kicked seven last time they met in round seven, and his haul on Friday night took him to the top of the Coleman Medal leaderboard.
Brodie Grundy, meanwhile, looked almost unstoppable in the ruck, finishing with 17 disposals, five tackles, six clearances a staggering 60 hitouts. The Bulldogs, as a team, had just 29 hitouts.
