Sydney hosts North Melbourne on Saturday afternoon in a must-win clash to keep its slim finals hopes alive. <\/p>\n

The Swans (8-9, 94.2%) remain mathematically in the race to September, despite the unlikely nature of them qualifying. For them to face any chance, they\u2019ll need to win comprehensively at the SCG. <\/p>\n

The Kangaroos (4-1-12, 76.7%), meanwhile, have lost their past three games by an average of just over 56 points and will be aiming to cause an upset in the Harbour City. <\/p>\n
