40 points (10 wins, three losses), 125.7 per cent
Nestled nicely inside the top four on the back of six straight wins, the Swans face their toughest test against Richmond at Etihad Stadium off this week's bye. They've beaten West Coast in Perth, Geelong at the Cattery and Hawthorn at the MCG this year, so they'll relish the chance to get on the big stage of Thursday night footy against the premiers. Games against the Cats (SCG) and North Melbourne (Etihad) follow and the next three could shape their finishing spot. - Adam Curley

Coach says
“It (that commentary) doesn't sit with me because it doesn’t mean anything. Three weeks ago, nothing was said, and it won’t matter what is said now, because we know we need to go about our business every week and work hard. It’s as simple as that. We’ve got Richmond next up, last year’s premiers, so it doesn't get easier." - John Longmire post Round 13 win over West Coast.
