    No side has played in the finals more than the Swans since 1996. The Swans have played in the finals 11 times in 13 years. West Coast are the best of the other clubs with 10 finals appearances.

    No other AFL side can match the current Swans run of 14 seasons in a row with a percentage over 100. In the three most recent seasons in which the Swans did not make the finals (1995, 2000, 2002), the Swans still outscored the opposition over 22 rounds. That period was during the tenure of three different coaches. Only Michael O'Loughlin was on our list for all 14 of those seasons (he was drafted in 1994 and made his debut in 1995).

    The last year in which the Swans did not finish the season with a percentage over 100 was 1994, the year in which the Swans most recently finished on the bottom of the ladder.

    Nice stats. Remember Mick back then with that funny haircut and looking like a bag of bones covered by skin? God he did some magic things! Still does them, just not as often. Looks different now though. Wonderful player and career

      The words that best describe Hutchinson would see me banned from these boards. The idiot is a dead-set dickhead who forms opinions based on what he overheard in the men's room of his local gay bar.

      Him and Sheahan should get together someday and see if their collective IQ actually adds up to double digits.

      That's all I'll say.

            I was thinking that. I'd rather play the Saints and the Hawks to reach the GF.

              After that loss to Collingwood 2 weeks ago many of us said goodbye to 2008 (Actually I think it was at quarter time in that game).

              With a run into the second week of the finals I think we have been lucky to get some players rested and back on the park.

              A little more luck and we are in a Prelim !
              I am sure Hutchy will still say ... ageing slow bottoming.

              Who cares ... Not me .... I am off the the G in September.

                  nothing would be worse for me then losing to the Pies in the GF- I work in a post office and one of the posties is a mad Pies fan. He gives it to me every time he comes in especially after they flog us. Id have to skip work if it came to a Swans Pies GF and it went the wrong way!

                    Just bear in mind Caro selected us to finish 12th this year if my memory serves me correctly with Bombers and Demons in the eight, or at least above us.

                      She tipped the Demons to finish 5th this year and for them to beat Hawthorn in Round 1.

                      No credibility whatsoever...

                        I would rather beat Geelong, the others are pretenders anyway, but imagine the confidence boost and the intimidation factor if we did beat them, whoever we played would be trembling in their boots, as the Dogs should be right now. I understand the point that we will get bashed in the media for being "lucky", anyone who saw Brent Harvey's goal on Sat night might not think we are so lucky, and that HTB call early was ridiculous.
