Sydney champion Adam Goodes is confident his team can extend Geelong's recent stretch of shaky form when the two sides meet on Saturday night at ANZ Stadium.

In the past three weeks the Cats have been a shadow of the awe-inspiring team which the football world has become accustomed to since 2007.

Mark Thompson's men have scrounged thrilling victories against Hawthorn and Adelaide before being comprehensively defeated by Carlton last round.

Amazingly, the Swans have a chance to enter the top eight this week after looking anything but finals material for majority of the season and although Goodes is wary of a champion team on the rebound, he believes Sydney can make the most of an opportunity to roar back into September calculations.

"We've always matched up quite well against the Cats, I think down there we played okay (in Round 7 at Skilled Stadium)," Goodes said.

"We've got a few things we'll be trying on the weekend, I like a few match-ups that we do have across the ground like the St Kilda game so hopefully we can get sort of the same result and kick a few more points."

Goodes insists that if Sydney can maintain the form it has displayed in the past fortnight - in losing to the undefeated Saints by a solitary point and smashing Richmond by nine goals - for the remainder of the season, it may have to prepare for a seventh consecutive finals campaign.

"The guys are really excited by the way we're playing the last couple of weeks," he said.

"To go against a team that was 17-0 and really take it to them, with 30 seconds to go we were level-peg with them, is really good for our young players to know that what we're doing and what we've set-up in the past still works."

"If we can keep it going for the rest of the year, and we've got some great teams to play up against (Geelong, Collingwood, Brisbane), who knows where we might finish and what might happen."

Goodes plays his 250th match this week but the dual Brownlow Medallist says the milestone won't be a major focus.

"Yeah, it's my 250th which is a great milestone and I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm more looking forward to continuing the momentum that we've built up the last two weeks and really finishing the year off well," he said.

Fresh from a best-on-ground performance up forward against the Tigers, Goodes believes that the latter part of his career will be played predominately in attack.

"With 'Hally' (Barry Hall) going and Mick (O'Loughlin) going there's definitely a role in the forward line for me to play," he said.

"So I'll definitely play down there for the rest of the season and then we'll assess it in the pre-season and talk about it post-season what sort of role I can play in the future but definitely forward line is looking pretty promising."
