The Sydney Swans have firmed in AFL finals contention after leaping to second place on the AFL ladder after beating Geelong by 38 points on Friday night.
In a match expected to be played in front of a full house at the SCG on Thursday night, the Swans have another chance to test themselves against great rivals and AFL premiers Hawthorn.
Swans coach John Longmire (pictured) signed a contract extension this week and now turns his thoughts to the best way of beating one of the most dominant sides in modern AFL history.
