Swans won't have all stars back to face Cats, Hawks REIGNING premier Sydney, the competition's most in-form club, should have most of its best players available for the finals. With six victories in succession, and nine wins from their past 10 games, the second-placed Swans may not have all their stars back for their crucial last two home-and-away games of the season against powerhouse clubs Geelong and Hawthorn. Those two contests are set to determine the composition of the final four, where a top-two finish guarantees those clubs at least one home final. Of most concern to coach John Longmire is the knee injury to versatile big man Lewis Roberts-Thomson, 29, who has not played since round four. The dual premiership player underwent arthroscopic surgery in April and was expected to be available by round 14. However, his rehabilitation time was described by the club as "unpredictable" after the discovery of cartilage damage during surgery. Longmire yesterday reiterated that the injured trio of Adam Goodes (knee), Lewis Jetta (shin) and Sam Reid (quadriceps) were three to four weeks away. Goodes has already missed six rounds, Jetta has not played since round 10, while Reid has played once since round nine -- against Melbourne in round 15 when he broke down again. "Jetta, Reid, Goodes and Roberts-Thomson are still quite a number of weeks away," Longmire said. Sydney's deep injury woes this season have brought on the debut of five players after just two debutants made the grade last year. Aside from Kurt Tippett, who has kicked 21 goals in seven games, the Swans have introduced Tom Mitchell, Xavier Richards, Dane Rampe, Jed Lamb and Brandon Jack. With the exception of Richards, all played in the 35-point win over the Bulldogs last Sunday. "The good thing is there's still avenues for those younger players to keep playing and playing well," Longmire said. They see that . . . but they also know if anyone misses out -- young or old -- that if you keep your form up, you're a chance to return the following week or the week after. Sydney appears set to recall small forward Ben McGlynn for Saturday night's game with Collingwood at ANZ Stadium. The Swans' leading goalkicker this season (24) has served his three-match suspension and overcome a hamstring strain. McGlynn's return follows the comeback on Sunday of Rhyce Shaw, who had 10 possessions before being substituted off in the final quarter. He should benefit greatly from his first match since round two. "We've been happy with our younger kids who have been in the team while Benny and others have been injured," Longmire said. One of the players might be a bit unlucky to miss out. Meanwhile, St Kilda pair Rhys Stanley and Arryn Siposs have been ruled out for the final month. Siposs will have surgery on his shoulder and Stanley required an operation after fracturing his collarbone last weekend.
