The Swans started strongly and were never headed on their way to a 15.13 (103) to 10.9 (69) victory at Exies Oval.
Griffith coach Will Griggs said while it was an indifferent performance, he was happy to take the four points.
“It was a pretty topsy-turvy day,” Griggs said.
“We came out with all guns blazing and put four on them then we shut up shop and did some uncharacteristic things and they came back.
“I was happy to get the win but we had a pretty average week on the track and it showed today.
“I’m still happy to get a 34-point win but it shows when you don’t put the work in on the track, it’s going to show.”
Theo Valeri was best for Griffith across half-forward, closely followed by Jordan Iudica, Ben King and Isaac Campbell.
Mitch McKelvie and Marshal Macauley were Coolamon’s best.
One shining light for Coolamon was that teenagers Nick Buchanan and Cooper McKelvie kicked a couple of goals each.
It was also a big improvement on the 104-point defeat the Hoppers copped against Griffith at Kindra Park earlier in the year.
