We look at the Sydney Swans run home with just six matches remaining in the home and away season.

16 points (four wins, seven losses), 84.8 per cent
Thursday night's shock win over their crosstown rivals has kept the door slightly ajar but it remains a massive mountain to climb. Already two games outside the eight, the Swans' lack of percentage will effectively act as another game after some heavy defeats earlier in the season. Season goes on the line against Fremantle, while Port Adelaide will be a massive task on their home deck. If the Swans can somehow pull a rabbit out of the hat – and maybe, just maybe – get Lance Franklin back for the final two games, they could consider themselves outside chances against Brisbane and Geelong to finish the season. - Mitch Cleary

What the coach says
"We have a long way to go and a lot of work to do but you need some good feelings across that period of learning and growing. Tonight was one of those moments that showed if we work hard and get our game right then that is the way that we like to play. We still have a long way to go though and we will keep working on it." John Longmire post march Round 12.
