The Baggies travel to take on Rupanyup, a side that has improved dramatically over the course of the season.
In the two teams last meeting the Baggies thumped the Panthers 21.11.137 to 5.0.30.
Rupanyup shocked the Baggies to lead at quarter time, but a 13 goal second half saw Swifts storm home.
Andrew Cameron booted seven goals in that game.
Cameron has gone on to record 68 majors for the season, the second most for the league.
Baggies coach Scott Carey said he doesn’t expect the game to play out like it did at North Park in round five.
“They’re in a good vein of form and their recent performances show they are competing against some of the top tier sides,” he said.
“I dare say it will be an all in contest.”
Rupanyup have had a solid last six games, recording three wins and two tight losses to finals contenders Edenhope-Apsley and Natimuk United.
The Baggies were big winners when they defeated Edenhope-Apsley in round 15 but Carey doesn’t want his players to be complacent from that performance.
“We need to focus on making sure we get the job done,” he said.
“We’ve had a pretty even performance from every player this year and we need to keep doing that.”
The Baggies have been the surprise packet of the Horsham district league this season after an eighth placed finish last year.
Swifts won just five games in 2016 and have more than doubled that record, with a likely 12th win awaiting them on Saturday.
With just one game remaining in the home and away season, a victory will see the Baggies finish third and take on the winner of Edenhope-Apsley and Natimuk United.
The Saints and the Rams sit sixth and seventh on the ladder respectively, with the victor claiming a spot in the finals.
A third placed finish will be the best for Swifts since the 2014 season, when the side won the premiership.
