LIVE AFL: Blues battle to keep season afloat as key Swan returns after 636 days

The Blues (4-5-1, 99.6%) welcome back Tom de Koning, a month after he was dropped, at the expense of Jack Silvagni.

Sydney meantime (4-6, 98.3%) managed to halt their slide down the ladder with a controversial dying seconds victory over North Melbourne last weekend.
