Sydney has unleashed a relentless goal frenzy to blow Port Adelaide away in a 97-point demolition at the SCG on Saturday.

Driven to lock in second spot and secure a home qualifying final, the Swans delivered a resounding statement performance.

Errol Gulden started the fourth quarter on the bench after taking a heavy hit from Darcy Byrne-Jones late in the third, which left him a little rattled. After passing his head injury assessment, however, he returned to the field.

Despite the heavy blow, Gulden went on to star, collecting 39 disposals, five clearances, 605 metres gained, and a goal.

"He's pulled up well," Sydney coach Dean Cox said.

"Obviously, when trying to contest the ball, that happens. His ability to be able to bounce straight back up, get the test done, do everything he needed to do, and come back out and play the way he did straight after that. That's one thing that he always does: he loves working as hard as he possibly can and playing his role for the team."

Heading into the clash with the Power, Cox made five forced and tactical swaps, missing star ruckman Brodie Grundy following the birth of his first child, along with injured duo James Rowbottom and Will Edwards, while Dane Rampe was managed.

Looking ahead, Cox confirmed he expects both Grundy and Rampe to be available for next week's clash with Essendon.

Asked how he plans to manage the squad over the final two rounds of the season, Cox explained that decisions are handled on an individual, week-to-week basis rather than through a broad resting plan.

"Those are the decisions we'll make each week," he said.

"There's no particular plan about what happens this week other than preparing our players to play as well as we can against Essendon. We won't change what we do in regard to the way we review and how we try and prepare our players. Dane was probably a decision (this week) because he played six games in a row at his age, and we just took that option."

Midfielder Justin McInerney is in the frame to return in the next one to two weeks, targeting a return against the Bombers following a long hamstring layoff.

"Justin trained extremely well today; we expect him to do so this week," Cox said.

"We'll have those conversations in the early part of the week. We'll sit down as a group and discuss what the weekend looked like and what his training program looks like this week. But he's done everything that's been asked of him. He's trained hard for a long period of time and did a big session today."
