1990, the season in which the VFL became the AFL, is most memorable in Sydney Swans history for being the year which saw the debut of a young player from Wagga Wagga.

At the time, Paul Kelly could not possibly have anticipated the important role he was to play in the Club?s fortunes over the next twelve years, nor how beloved by the Sydney crowd he would become.

There was other fresh talent at the Swans that year, in the form of Troy Luff and Dale Lewis, each of whom would go on to play over 150 games in the red and white.

However, there was little else to enjoy about 1990.
