AFTER a tumultuous week, Kieren Jack has led the Sydney Swans to an emphatic 38-point win over Geelong at Simonds Stadium to put a huge dent in the Cats' top-four aspirations.

In his 200th game, and after a week in which a private family spat became very public, the Swans co-captain had 24 disposals, 10 tackles and three goals in his side's 38-point win.

Following a tight first half, the Swans put the foot down in the third quarter, dominating stoppages to open up a 27-point lead at the final change.

Despite a six-day break, they controlled the final quarter to win 15.8 (98) to 9.6 (60), setting up a huge clash against Hawthorn at the SCG on Thursday night.

It was the Cats' first loss at home in their past nine games and just their seventh defeat of the past 72 clashes at the venue.
