44 points (11 wins, eight losses) 117.2 per cent
A brilliant win on Friday night means a top-six finish is likely for the Swans, which puts them right back in flag calculations. Beat Adelaide on the road on Friday week and they could yet finish top four. As long as they don't play the Hawks again, the Swans are in the premiership race up to their ears. They must first face the hurdle of overcoming Fremantle on Saturday afternoon at the SCG.

The run home
Rd 21: Fremantle (SCG)
Rd 22: Adelaide (Adelaide Oval)
Rd 23: Carlton (SCG) 

The coach says
"We get back to the SCG and that is as far as we are looking at the moment. It is just so tough and just so even. I am not telling anyone anything that they don't know. It is such a tough and even season that we are just trying to put one foot in front of the other now to try and get right for next week." John Longmire post match Rd 20, 2017
