Sydney and the Western Bulldogs will play a high-stakes clash on Thursday night at the SCG.

The Swans will need to be perfect from now on if they are a chance to make the finals, after a tough loss to Richmond last round. 

With a win, the Western Bulldogs can continue their push towards a top-four finish and a finals double-chance — but it won't be easy against last year's grand finalists.
