Overview

• Since the midseason bye, the Swans have gone 3–1 with victories over Port Adelaide, Fremantle and St Kilda, reviving their September hopes.
• Errol Gulden’s comeback from a pre-season ankle injury has coincided with averages of 24 disposals, six tackles and two goals per game.
• Brodie Grundy has been rated as Sydney’s best player in their past three wins, driving considerable gains at stoppages.
• Champion Data stats reveal Sydney has jumped to second in points from clearance differential and fifth in scores per forward-50 entry over the past month.
• With six winnable games remaining including a GWS derby, the Swans still need to win out and rely on rival results to reach the unofficial 14-win finals threshold.
