SYDNEY Swans coach John Longmire is not buying into any of the hype that awaits next Saturday's Grand Final rematch against Hawthorn.
After eking out an ugly 21-point victory over the Brisbane Lions, Longmire said the Swans would quickly turn their attention to the Hawks.

However, when asked his thoughts on the significance of the clash at ANZ Stadium, the Swans coach played the straightest of bats.
He said it was no more significant than playing the Lions.
"I look forward to them all," Longmire said. "I look forward to this one, I look forward to next one.
"In the end, what's on the line is the same as what's on the line tonight, and those four points are important to both us and Hawthorn.
"It's four points. Ross (Lyon) and Alastair (Clarkson) spoke about it last week going into today's (Hawthorn-Fremantle) game in Tasmania, and strangely enough, that's what it's about."

After being humiliated by Hawthorn in the 2014 Grand Final, the Swans won by four points when the teams met at the MCG in round eight.
The Swans are now placed third and the Hawks fourth after destroying the league-leading Dockers on Sunday.
Longmire said there were lots to improve on ahead of playing top-four contenders Hawthorn and West Coast in successive weeks.
"You're never satisfied with any part of your game," he said.
"You're always working on your ball movement, contested ball and defence, the three areas of the game we have to keep working on and that's what we'll continue to do."
Admitting his team was lacklustre in the opening stages against the Lions, perhaps the Swans coach had taken the same approach to his media conference.
Superstar forwards Lance Franklin and Kurt Tippett kicked three goals each and Josh Kennedy had 41 disposals, but not much was impressing Longmire.
"We know we can play better than what we played tonight, but sometimes you've got to find a way and we were able to do that," he said.
"Positives ... (it's) a win. That's pretty important. It's the number one positive coaches look for, and sometimes if you're not going as well as you'd like, you've just got to find a way."
