We weren't going to make the top 8 as we're too far back so the Swans winning is neither here nor there.
I'm not sure about that, had the kangas won narrowly, we would have to win 3 more games than them until the end of the season (including next weeks game), having to make up about 120-150 points in differential to overhaul them on %.
If we had won 6 out of 7 we probably would have made it, maybe even with 5 wins.
Sydney have a tough run home and generally haven't punched above their weight this season, I don't know if they have beaten a top 8 side. Had they lost today I reckon it would have been real tough for them.
