GWS the only 50/50, "we" should win the the rest. One loss will result in definite top 4 birth, 2 losses will still have us in the mix for top 4 with good percentage

Pardon? :lol:

This would be incredible

SYDNEY premiership defender Alex Johnson is on the verge of making his long-awaited comeback from five knee reconstructions

The Swans are considering selecting the 25-year-old in its NEAFL side to play Canberra this Saturday.

Johnson has not played a game since March 2014 and not played a senior match since the 2012 AFL Grand Final.

The Swans are being very cautious about declaring if Johnson will return to play in Canberra, conscious that training needs to be completed, with the NEAFL team expected to have a light run on Friday after the senior team trains on Thursday.

AFL.com.au understands the Swans are also contemplating whether it might be better selecting Johnson against Gold Coast in a curtain-raiser to the AFL game the following Saturday.

A final decision as to whether Johnson plays is not expected until Friday at the earliest.

Johnson is still officially on the long-term injury list, with rookie Lewis Melican being upgraded before round five. Melican played against Essendon last Friday night in the Swans' narrow win.

However, the club has lost Darcy Cameron for the season to a shoulder injury which means he could be placed on the long-term injury list.

The defender has been a remarkably resilient presence at the Swans, and his return to the training track in 2016 was an emotional moment for both Johnson and his teammates.

He has undergone more than 10 operations yet kept persisting in an effort to resume his AFL career that is stuck on 45 games.

This tackle on Jaeger O'Meara in 2013 caused another ACL tear for Alex Johnson. Picture: AFL Photos


AFL.com.au understands senior Swans' players are keen to be at Johnson's return game and would make their way to Canberra on Saturday after the Swans play Melbourne in Friday night's blockbuster at the MCG if the decision was made for him to play.

Geelong's Daniel Menzel has made a successful return from four knee reconstructions, kicking 67 goals in the 32 AFL games he has played since his return.

Could be the catalyst to push them towards the top 4, imagine if he got into the AFL side and they won the flag, youd almost retire id reckon

I have a bet on for Sydney to finish top 4, and wondering whether to cash out early or hold fire. Maybe hold on for another week, hope they beat the Saints, then re-assess

$16 mate - Probably went higher because I think they lost one more after I put it on, but still a reasonable collect if salutes. Cash out is about 4/1
