As enticing a proposition as ending rivals Sydney's season may be, GWS captain Toby Greene has his focus elsewhere.
The chance to step closer to a top-four finish is on the line for the Giants when they host the Swans at Engie Stadium on Friday night.
And as bitter as their rivalry is, Greene says bringing Sydney's barnstorming run to September to a shuddering halt is secondary.
"I'll relish the idea of us trying to make top four, so I just want to worry about that," Greene said on Monday.
"If we beat them, their season's probably done and we're a chance for top four, so it's a huge game."
GWS (12-6) are sixth, ranked by percentage against Fremantle, Hawthorn and Geelong, who are all on 48 points.
The Swans (9-9) are just four points behind the ninth-placed Western Bulldogs (10-8) after claiming their third-straight win.
Dean Cox's men must knock off the Giants and win every match thereafter to keep their slim finals chances alive.
Sydney at least have history on their side, winning their past five matches - including last year's quarter final.
And with Isaac Heeney enjoying a rich vein of form, they just might produce an upset on enemy territory.
Well-supported by Swans ruck Brodie Grundy, Heeney kicked five goals and finished with 34 disposals and 13 clearances to fire them to a 31-point win over North Melbourne at the SCG on Saturday.
Greene, who runs a football clinic with Heeney, was happy to keep the lid on the Swans midfielder.
"No, I didn't want to pump him up because I knew we were playing him this week," Greene said when he was asked if he had sent Heeney a message after their Kangaroos win.
"But it was a special game and he's in great form. He's in my SuperCoach, it's been great.
"It was a pretty dominant game on the weekend from him, so we're not going to let him run around and do whatever he wants, that's for sure."
GWS are expecting to be at full strength, with Josh Kelly and Jesse Hogan set for a recall after being managed last week.
All-Australian defender Sam Taylor is also on target to return from a fractured toe.
The Giants also have their own in-form goalscoring star, with Jake Stringer finishing with three goals, 18 disposals and three score involvements in the last-out 48-point win over Essendon.
"He put on a bit of a show down in Melbourne on the weekend," Greene said.
"He would have been up for that against his old side, so really happy for him.
"We're fit and firing at the moment (which is) when you want to be."
