24 points (six wins, eight losses), 96.2 per cent
The Swans' slim finals chances incredibly remain alive after they started the season so poorly, on the back of their fifth win in their past seven games. Next week's clash against Essendon at the MCG is crucial with the Bombers also outside the top eight, with a winnable match-up with Carlton at home to follow in round 17. Games against Fremantle (away), Geelong (home), Greater Western Sydney (away) and Port Adelaide (away) will seal Sydney's fate and it looks a mammoth task for John Longmire's men. - Adam Curley

What they say
"It has been extraordinary it has been about eight weeks now that we haven't finished a game off without losing a player. We have been able to show really strong ressilience to be able to do two things which is finish the game out strongly but also the ability of the players to adapt to different roles. We have done it for a number of weeks now and they have been able to adapt to the problems that have been presented and get on with it so I have been so pleased with that."
