LAST-MINUTE negotiations are continuing between the AFL and ANZ Stadium about moving any Sydney Swans home finals this season to the SCG.

At the beginning of the year the Swans came to an agreement with the former Olympic venue to move this season's three scheduled home and away matches to their traditional home. 

However, the League has a separate deal with the stadium for finals, which expires after this season.

At the time it was made clear that the Swans' agreement did not extend to finals.

AFL.com.au understands conversations are continuing at the highest levels with a decision one way or the other expected by the end of the week.

ANZ Stadium declined to comment when contacted by AFL.com.au.

All a League spokesperson would say is that the AFL is contracted to play finals at the venue, and nothing has changed.

The top-of-the-table Swans are on track to host two finals in Sydney, including a qualifying final in week one.

The AFL has had a contentious experience with the stadium, which hosted Athletics at the 2000 Olympics.

During its decade and a half hosting AFL games, the arena has been widely criticised for the standard of its playing surface.

It came to a head last year, when Hawthorn forward Jarryd Roughead was injured by exposed bolts on the edge of the playing surface.

The venue is mainly used for rugby league, which takes priority for its finals series, but it's unlikely there would be any scheduling clash this season.
