The Swans are back in the top four after the Western Bulldogs’ loss to the Eagles, and they're unlikely to offer the Dogs a second bite at this cherry given their remaining two opponents. Like the Hawks, the Swans can start some long-term planning for another trip to Western Australia, although this time they'd be hoping that Lance Franklin is right to play. With him, they can beat Fremantle or West Coast on the road. Without him, they're a chance at a straight-sets finals exit.

The run home:

Rd 22: St Kilda at Etihad Stadium
Rd 23: Gold Coast at the SCG 

The coach says:

“We’re in a situation where our destiny is in our own hands. I know everyone is talking about finals but we’ve still got two games to go…we’re really determined to make sure our focus is solely on the Saints this week. Point number one is to play well this week and our focus won’t deviate from that.” John Longmire - Monday August 24
