We are 2 games and 30% clear of 9th with 6 rounds to go.
Some here think we can get to top four but I don't think so.
Current ladder is Brisbane 44 points 129%
Port 44/119
Swans 40/115
Therefore we need to win at least one more game than Port to go to 5th, and maybe two depending on percentage. Definitely two more wins than Brisbane. Let's assume we win all 6 vs GWS/Freo/Essendon/St Kilda/North/Gold Coast.
Port play:
St Kilda away*
Collingwood AO
GWS away*
Showdown notionally away
Carlton home
Dogs away*
*Tough games
I can see us possibly overtaking Port.
Brisbane play:
Richmond away
Hawthorn away
Gold Coast home
Freo home
Collingwood away
West Coast home
Even if we win all 6 remaining games, I can't see Brisbane dropping two of these, Hipwood or no.
Those losses to Gold Coast and Hawthorn especially will bite us.
Yeah I'm with you in that I don't think we will make top 4 either. Dream scenario, wherever we finish, is playing WC in the first final.Some here think we can get to top four but I don't think so.

Brisbane's percentage is the real kicker. They need to drop at least 2 games in the run home and we win everyone of ours. We'll never catchup to their percentage if they only drop 1 matchSome here think we can get to top four but I don't think so.

This time last year it was unimaginable that we could finish in the 8, let alone have a "home" final. Most pundits, including this board, at the start of the season had us finishing 10th or lower.Will need a few Eagle style thumpings to catch up to Brisbane % certainly possible.

Our expectations have been raised, and that's great, but the best we can do is aim to win every week on the way home. Anything else is outside our control.
Sounds like something would say.
But along the way we need to spell players or play other players. ie give Buddy a week off, or Gulden a week off or play whoever who has been injured and needs game time, whoever along the way. I want us primed as hell before that stupid bye weekend.This time last year it was unimaginable that we could finish in the 8, let alone have a "home" final.

I actually completely agree with this. If we win every game well from here on out we will be in the top 4. There'll be enough percentage and teams ahead will drop games here and there, but if we lose a game our chances are over.I think it’s entirely possible, likely even, that Brisbane and Port open the door for Swans to make top 4, but I also think there’s no way the Swans win out. They’ve dropped a couple of bad ones already and seem Reed up to do it again.

Cornes was asked by a caller how far he thinks the impressive Swans can go in September.
“A long way, the way they’re playing,” he told SEN.
“If I had to do the Gerard and David King seedings, I’d have them (Sydney) fourth.
“I think they’re as good a shot as the others.”
See Cornes’ top six seedings below:
- Geelong
- Western Bulldogs
- Melbourne
- Sydney
- Brisbane
- Port Adelaide

[Certified Legendary Thread]s aren't that easy to get.Will you ban scaryness ?
Also, will this become a `Certified Legendary Thread` if we do make finals?
[Certified Legendary Thread]s aren't that easy to get.
This will only end up with the Certified Legendary Thread tag if RUNVS changes the title to 'It's the PREMIERSHIP countdown - 2021' now and we end up winning the premiership.
We make the top 4 we will win it. Finish 5th I think we'll fall shortMedia already suggesting we will win all of our last H&A games. Which would makes us 16-6 with a chance to finish as high as 3rd with a lot of luck, and go into finals winning 8 in a row.
We want to finish 3rd, thats where we win flags from haha
