Sydney and cross-town rivals Greater Western Sydney are nipping at Hawthorns heels in the race for the premiership flag after an impressive weekend for AFL football in NSW.The Swans followed the Giants 88-point thumping of Richmond on Saturday with a 90-point demolition of Fremantle at Domain Stadium on Sunday.The results left GWS and Sydney second and third, respectively - two games behind ladder leaders Hawthorn with four games left in the home-and-away season.Swans coach John Longmire was pleased with the killer instinct shown by his team.You want to make sure you finish off a pretty strong job ... you dont want to relax, he said.You want to keep going and put the foot down. Were like any other team in that aspect - we want to play until the final siren and thats what our boys were able to do.You come in and worry about the things you can focus on, the processes, but in the end it was good to be able to put in a strong performance and keep the foot down. Its always good to be able to do that.It wasnt pretty but the Hawks maintained their healthy buffer at the top of the ladder with a scrappy win over Carlton in Launceston to extend their winning streak at their Tasmanian fortress to 19 games.Geelong are fourth after 19 rounds, and have celebrated Jimmy Bartels 300-game milestone and Corey Enright becoming the clubs all-time games record holder (326) with a hard-fought win over the Western Bulldogs, who remain seventh on the ladder.Eddie Betts kicked five goals as Adelaide moved up to fifth with an 82-point belting of Essendon, while West Coast slipped to sixth on the back of their upset loss to Collingwood.North Melbourne round out the eight after they celebrated Brent Harvey becoming the AFLs all-time games record holder with a scrappy win over St Kilda.The Saints remain a mathematical chance to make the eight, as do Port Adelaide after they thumped Brisbane to move into ninth spot.The Bulldogs injury woes continued with Tom Liberatore (ankle) and Jack Macrae (hamstring) unable to finish the game at Simonds Stadium.The Kangaroos have their own concerns, with important forward Jarrad Waite aggravating the hip injury thats hampered him of late, while Crows ruckman Sam Jacobs left the game at Adelaide Oval with an ankle injury.In tribunal news, Fremantles Zac Dawson looks set for a stint on the sidelines after his clumsy high hit on Sydneys Jake Lloyd during the Dockers big loss to the Swans in Matthew Pavlichs 350th-game milestone.

Having doubled his AFL career games tally in less than a season, Mitch Brown wants another win.The key forward has been one of the successes of Essendons unprecedented season, where doping suspensions for 12 players meant a recast side and a different outlook.For the first time this year the Bombers will head into Sundays Etihad Stadium match against Brisbane as favourites.Essendon have shown strong signs of life in the last month, with near-misses against GWS, St Kilda and Richmond.Brown said it was time to capitalise on that improvement.We started the year pretty well, but the last month weve really come into our own - we have some form, he said.So were feeling pretty confident at the moment ... Weve been in the game up until the last quarter.Unfortunately we havent been able to finish off - thats the challenge for the rest of the year.But after several weeks of poor form and media scrutiny, the Lions also lack nothing for motivation.Essendon and Brisbane are on the bottom of the ladder with a win apiece, meaning Sundays loser most likely will end this season with the wooden spoon.There has been speculation about what another loss might do to the future of coach Justin Leppitsch at Brisbane.We think theyre going to come out firing, because theyve been battling a bit as well, Brown said.Its just who can maintain that pressure for the longest.After four frustrrating seasons at Geelong Brown is more than making up for lost time with the Bombers.ddddddddddddHe and Zach Merrett are the only two Bombers to have played in every NAB Challenge and regular-season game this season.It is something Brown could never have imagined when Geelong delisted him at the end of 2014, having managed just 15 senior games in four injury-interrupted seasons.Thanks to his persistence and Essendons supplements saga, Brown has more than doubled his AFL tally to 31 matches.He also has a contract for next season.I was pretty confident after I was delisted, that if I had a pretty good year in the VFL that Id be a high chance to be picked up again, Brown said.So I just went back and worked on some things, to improve my game.I was very thankful to Essendon for drafting me.Brown and Joe Daniher have been the key forwards in Essendons attack, which is starting to look more potent as the team improves.Essendon are the lowest-scoring team in the AFL this season and are yet to pass 100 points in a match.But they have had more scoring shots than the opposition in their last two matches, with inaccuracy particularly costly against the Tigers.Brown said he and his fellow Essendon forwards had been working on their goalkicking.
