Greatest Swans moments of all time.

[Primmy]

Yeah yeah blinddog, I know when you mean, he had been out half a year with a cracked patella, was that a wc or freo game.....can't remember except it was in perth; freo I think. We didn't win, but it was blindingly brilliant wasn't it.

[laughingnome]

The drought breaking win against Melbourne in 1993.

That was the first time I'd seen the Swans play. And it was good. I'd kill to get footage of that game.



Ultimately I feel compelled to go with Leo's mark, but Plugger's Point announced that Sydney had come out of the wilderness well and truely, and gave the fans something to dream about. Nick Davis's four goals was just incredible, Paul Kelly's goal (and the mark blinddog mentions), Post-match Round 22 2002... there's just so many great memories and moments I have of this club.

It's like the thread comparing Goodes to Kelly to Skilton, I find it way too hard to seperate champions and don't think they should. Every moment's a winner!

Can't remember the year (hey I could be completely wrong and just making this up), but it was a Swans/West Coast game, Paul Kelly had come back after being sidelined for a number of weeks with am injured knee (cracked kneecap?). Rocket was the coach, the list was put out, no Paul Kelly. On the nite, Paul Kelly came running out (fine was issued by AFL). After the first bounce Kelly went to the air for a mark, total disregard - knee put to the test. That mament sticks in my mind, along with all the above.

Yes it was Freo.
Kelly went down after a mark on the boudary line, and we all held out breath, until he got up kicked the ball and ran off.

I had to go with Leaping Leo's mark in the 2005 GF, but runner up is definitely Micky O and the fat bastard from 2006! (love that description) . Have an autographed copy of that photo - it is an absolute gem.

I had to go Leo, but by gee there are some great moments there. nick davis, Plugger point and Micky O and the John Candy lookalike are all up there.

[sharp9]

Not the greatest moment ever....but my favourite was Amon's tackle on the member's wing in the 4th quarter. Deep down inside I KNEW we were going to win right then and there!

Also Kirky jumping straight up after being shirt-fronted by Byron Pickett in the 2003 Qualifying Final :-) Deep down inside I KNEW we were going to win right then and there!

[JudesaGun]

Does anyone have some footage of Kelly's goal against the Kangaroos?

[satchmopugdog]

I went with Nick Davis .........The final siren 2005 was the greatest moment of my life but every time I see that Nick Davis goal I think we wouldn't be there without that quirk of fate

[dawson]

I would include:
*2003 Qualifying Final against Port - The captain getting straight up from a Byron Pickett shirtfront
*1999 game against Kangaroos esp Paul Kelly's goal
*Warwick Capper's marks
*Scoring 200 points in successive weeks in 1987
*In general, footage from the glory days of 86-87 - Diesel, Gerard Healy, David Bolton, Bernard Toohey, Tony Morwood, etc
*Adam Schneider's goals against St Kilda in 2005 PF
*Some footage of Magic being magical

too hard basket.

I'm waiting for the non Greatest Swans moments video. I can rattle about a dozen off the top of my head for that one.

I'd ditch the O'Loughlin v Fat Bastard. After all, two weeks later that fat bastard had the last laugh.

Instead, the 2003 QF, Sydney v Port and Kirk got shirt fronted then got up. How quickly we forget.

It would have to be the mark that ended Sampi's career.

[Nico]

None of the above.

One of the finest moments was beating Collingwood at the Lake Oval in 1970. Peter McKenna marked the ball 30 metres out dead in front....a split second after the final siren and we win by less than a goal.

You reckon those Pies supporters weren't filthy on that one.

Rnd 11 15th June 1970. 4 goals down into time on and we won by a point. I was only a young lad but I still remember the Ferals supporters crying in the outer. One of the best days of my childhood. Only 2005 beats it.

[India'sDad]

Have to go with Nick Davis' 4th goal - more for the extent of the comeback coz we were gone for all money. "10 years of my life I've given you and this is how you repay me" - throw hat of on ground and stomp on it - was that which turned it round and not Kirk's words to Davis.... My then 8 year old learned some new words that night...

Other memories Cresswell banging the knee back in, Cresswell winning it with a goal after the siren against North in 2002 (someone's milestone from memory - Mickey O?) and the "Roooos" chant from they players on the retirement night for Dunks and Kel. And 44,000 in SCG for the Ablett vs Plugger fest - only game I ever had to stand for in pre-membership days.

The old red brick stand shook that day !
We could not believe the result and Norm Smith coached the team to its first finals appearance in many years.
In those days to get a win was a rarity .... but to beat Collingwood ....
