When was that?

I remember a game against the Crows in 1995 - or was it 1996? '95 I think - where we were 17 points down at Q3 time and kicked 11.9 to 0.1 in the last quarter to win by 57 points. Nice game to have.

Also, Swans v Roos at Optus Oval in 1996. Plugger kicked 10 and we won. And it was my first date with my wife - although no one need buy it because of that specifically.

Another favourite of mine is the Swans vs Carlton match at the SCG in 1995 (rd 7 or 8 i think) - we were supposed to get whomped by the team of the year and ended up giving them a football lesson!

I think it might even have been round 9 or 10. I was very drunk that night and it was the one and only time I have taunted an opposition supporter. At half-time, the Swans were well ahead and a guy wearing a Carlton jumper got out of his seat, probably just to go to the loo. I said "Going home already?" and he gave me a filthy look.

Great game. I bought it from Name A Game a few years back.

Here's a list of some wins after 3/4 time deficit:

The 1986 and 1996 ones are probably good because Sydney just sqeaked home!

That 1996 game was the one that kickstarted that great season, IMO. Definitely the most excited I've been in a non-finals game. Richmond were unlucky with a Dunkley-Richo controversial decision in our favour. But who gives a stuff? We won!

If I remember correctly, Plugger was charging up and down the Waverley wing late in the last quarter to the roars of the crowd.

A trip to the footy for the first date with future wife - NICE !

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. With my wallet still reeling from GF-related purchases I will limit myself to the 1996 "any score will do" game.

[swans05]

robbie ahmat has 3 goals inside the first quarter i remember this game well

[garethb83]

Round 11, 2004 (i think rd 11?) when we stopped the St Kilda streak at the SCG... packed house there that day, Leo Barry keeping Gehrig goalless all day and without a kick, brilliant!

Just a recent one for you guys...

[swan_song]

and Kirky's just kicked one... 58 to 20....just a taste of what is to come....Leo took a screamer as well...

Ahh, our last win at Subiaco...the memories

Judging by that score (58-20) that must have been the game where we had a huge lead at half time and let them catch up in the second half.

I remember we started 2001 like a house on fire and fell into a heap after that! I much prefer starting slowly after this year - it's how you finish that counts

A game against the Roos in 01 or 02??? at the SCG that I affectionately call 'the comeback game'. We were down by 43 (thereabouts) points at half time and came home with a wet sail. T'was the game where Kel shrugged off 2 or 3 tacklers to kick a capitans goal late, John Stevens (remember him, an inconsistent #20) took a screamer and kicked a beauty and when number ? lined up after the siren to kick yet another, Dunks and Ryan Bomford 'chested' each other like raging bulls. Well, perhaps Rino is better described as an over excited lamb, but you get my drift. An absolute ripper with Bruce at the mike getting very excited.

Wasn't that '99?

Remember on the TV seeing Bob Hawke in the crowd getting a rousing reception when he sculled some beers.
Some things never change!~

Sure was - was the weekend after the massive hailstorm. I remember walking down the Paddington Hill into the ground and seeing hundreds of damaged seats sitting outside the SFS, and the SCG concourses looked more like the Gabba with the multi-colour arrangement.
