20 points (five wins, eight losses), 92.2 per cent
The Swans are in with a very sneaky chance here. Over the next three weeks, they take on the bottom two teams on the ladder, plus Essendon, which is only just going. If they can head into the Fremantle clash at 8-8 with momentum on their side, who knows what can happen? They're going to need to be in form from that point, because that Dockers game marks the first of four straight against top-eight sides. Ultimately, Lance Franklin's left hamstring injury means it would be borderline miraculous for the Swans to make finals for a 16th time in 17 seasons.

What they say
"We haven't spoken about it internally, we haven't done it over the years no matter where we sit on the ladder. It is always just about the next step in front of you and that is what our players like to do just concentrate on the next one. We play Gold Coast this week and last week they beat us at the SCG so we are mindful of that. You need to take care of every week and hurdle that is in front of you."
