Sydney are looking to bounce back from last week’s shock loss to Essendon when they host a Western Bulldogs outfit desperate to keep their finals hopes alive. Join The Roar for live scores and rolling coverage from 7:50pm (AEST).
The Swans’ best this year has been premiership-worthy – they’ve beaten both the top two in Melbourne and Geelong, as well as Richmond and St Kilda.
However, their loss to the Bombers has left them sitting vulnerably in eighth, just a game ahead of the Bulldogs in tenth and percentage clear of the Saints in ninth; defeat here could see them in danger of missing the finals altogether.
The Swans will miss ruckman Tom Hickey through illness, while young key forward Logan McDonald is a surprise omission. In come ruck pair Peter Ladhams and Joel Amartey, to do battle with Bulldogs gun Tim English.
English was best afield for the Dogs in their last clash with the Swans in Round 3, and his return from concussion couldn’t be more badly needed.
The Dogs’ comfortable loss to Brisbane has left them in real danger of missing the finals after a grand final for the second time under Luke Beveridge; barring a surprise victory in Sydney, they’ll be all but gone with a tough draw to come.
Alongside English, young half-back Ed Richards returns from his own concussion, while Mitch Hannan’s lengthy absence through yet another concussion has ended. Robbie McComb, Tim O’Brien, Hayden Crozier and Jordon Sweet have paid the price for the Dogs’ loss last week.

Well the umpires were unable to get theit team up this year. That goal to Naughton from a non existant free was a 'c'mon' from the umps but to no avail.

Hmmmm .... well I picked Sydney in my tipping but no way did I expect that margin. Very good win to Sydney but also a pretty woeful effort from the Doggies. Even making the 8 for the Doggies might be touch and go.

So as long as no roof malfunction at Marvel, Freo should get it done.

Congrats on a dominant performance - clearly on another level but which version of the Swans willl be fronting next week? Should be looking to do a Baby Bombers this year while they have Buddy in great nick but can they find the consistency?

If it's down to 9 Diesel, Carlton just have to outperform St Kilda to make it. St Kilda have a harder draw and alot depends on this weekend results. St Kilda play Freo at Marvel and Carlton play WC in the west.
