Please, no more careers or seasons listed as "memorable moments".

Well, the whole of my life so far qualifies. Except I don't remember the first years and I find it hard to remember yesterday.

Of course, there have been some footballers whose whole careers have been brief, not-so-memorable moments.

Even though we lost the game, the 1996 GF is still a magical memory for me - just the atmosphere around town on the Friday with all sorts of people wishing us well as we wandered around Melbourne wearing Swans gear, the buzz around the ground before the game, watching the Wayne Carey doll collapse during the pre-game entertainment, even standing in a pub on Clarendon St into the late hours of the night after the game, drowning our sorrows and with 'Cheer Cheer' breaking out sporadically around the pub.

Twas a bittersweet weekend, but a memory that I wouldn't be without for anything.

Yeah totally agree. GF week was great, the whole build up. The game was great too, up until about 10 mins into the 2nd qtr.

My most memorable moment was definitely the point Plugger kicked to get us in the GF.

Closely followed by PK's 200th, the 1993 win against the Dees, Pluggers 1200th and the mark/goal by Cressa against the Hawks in 1996.

Really makes me realise the memories and great entertainment provided by Plugs, Kel and Cressa. 3 unique characters and 3 amazing footy players.

Are you sure Plugger was sprinting?

Which followed a great mark and goal by Mooney on Langford just beforehand.

That was in a trial game too, not even the real season. 7 week holiday IIRC.
