IT WILL be a case of "wait and see" if Sydney will regain superstar forward Lance Franklin for his 300th game and champion Jarrad McVeigh for his farewell in next week's clash against St Kilda.

Franklin hasn't played since straining his hamstring in round 14 but is on the verge of a memorable milestone, while McVeigh, who has announced his retirement, has been battling a calf injury.

Coach John Longmire was giving little away about the likelihood of seeing the pair next week after the Swans' 53-point win over Melbourne on Friday night.

"I don't know [Franklin's chances of playing] to be honest. I'm not playing tricks or anything like that, he's been training for a couple of weeks now and training really well," Longmire said.

"He's been flat out and training with a lot of enthusiasm. We've got two more training sessions to go, so I couldn't imagine us making a decision until we have all the facts in front of us. We'll see how he goes this week."

McVeigh has been missing since round 12, and Longmire hinted that he faces a more challenging week than Franklin to prove his fitness ahead of next Saturday's SCG contest.

"He hasn't been doing the training, so we'll see how he goes. He's been jogging but he needs to step it up a fair bit this week," he said.

"I'm not going to [say if it's likely or not] at this stage. I'll just wait and see."

Getting the pair back against the Saints would help the Swans finish off the season in style after their impressive overrunning of Melbourne on Friday night.

Sydney was led by its youngsters in the win.

Ollie Florent had 28 disposals in a best-afield display, James Rowbottom kicked two goals from 14 touches, Jordan Dawson also chipped in with two majors from 15 disposals and NAB AFL Rising Star nominee Nick Blakey was excellent with 17 disposals and a goal from more midfield time.

The victory was only the Swans' seventh of the season and it broke a six-game losing streak. They will finish in the bottom five on the ladder and miss the finals for the first time in a decade.

But Longmire said an early realisation they were not going to reach September gave them an ability to turn to their youth.

"When it became apparent that we couldn't make the finals we just spoke about it. We said 'OK, we can't make the finals, but it's not about waiting until the off-season or the pre-season to do something about. We can still move forward as a footy team'," he said.

"And that's what we've been able to do. Even though the wins haven't been there, we've still taken some steps forward and it was good tonight to see it all together."
