    Sorry guys

    You can have your 2012 grand final

    You can have the 2012 prelim final win over the Pies

    You can have the 2012 QF win over the Crows at AAMI

    You can have the 2005 GF

    You can have Davis' miracle against the Cats in the 2005 SF

    You can have the 2003 QF against the Power at AAMI

    ......any other game you wish to pick

    My favourite will always be the last quarter against the Saints in the 2005 PF. All the pre-match hype about the Saints getting to a GF and winning their second flag, the channel 10 promo on that theme, all the commentary by the 10 team, us having a narrow loss in the QF and a miracle win in the SF, then coming out to kick 7 goals to none in the last quarter (and the 1 point the Saints scored was a great snap by Goodes to concede a behind).

    Fantastic, and the best of the Swans highlights to watch on YouTube.

      Sorry guys

      I down know...the last 4 goals in a Grand Final to beat the hot favorites with:

      - A Captain on one leg
      - A Canadian Rugby Player holding fort in the ruck
      - A defender with only one good ankle standing tall
      - A discard who beat 2 hardened hawks to set up a goal
      - A guy with 24 knee reconstructions kicking the sealer

      is pretty hard to beat.

      Not to mention that the neutrals are saying its one if the best Grand Finals ever.

      I think I'll be watching this game over and over again for years to come.
      ..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

          Do we have to choose - can't they all be our favourites?

                              No, 2005 was where the entire pre-game was about the Saints breaking their drought. I like the Saints, but the 10 coverage made me sick that night. To listen to the commentators swallow their words, including a certain Mr. T. Lane, is wonderful.

                                  I'm with you Aardvark. The Apology - one of the best ever. Thought they did a longer version after 2005.

                                      Except, of course, I was only at one of those games (2005 Prelim).....I put my phone on Record and commentated the last minute or so before the siren so I could have that noise forever - geez I got a few frosty looks from the Sainters :-)

                                          I had never seen this apology before. Thanks for sharing. Love it. Would be great if we could get one from Malthouse for 2012.

                                              That 05 prelim was a great win (and it was great to be there), but for sheer spine tingling atmosphere, rapid heart rate, almost pass out excitement and pure 'WTF factor', the match the week before wins hands down for mine. When Davo kicked that last goal the earth felt like it moved and the stands definitely shook.

                                              We were gone for all money, but got home with the most remarkable quarter of football I've ever witnessed (live or otherwise).

                                              That whole finals series was incredible really. Like someone else said, it's like choosing between your children. Gotta love em all, and aren't we lucky how many of them there are!

                                                      Yep, still '05 SF for me. Strange, but there you go.

                                                      On the topic of the '05 PF being O'Keefe's first great game, the week before he nailed a 70m torpedo onto Davis' chest. Still my favourite Swans kick of all time.

                                                          It's virtually impossible for me to split these games. Each has its own story.

                                                          The Geelong game involved driving up all day arriving to see a really wet scg, and a real slog of a game where nothing went right, but because of the low scoring we were still in the game. The last quarter will always stick in my mind for the sequence of events and the fact that I went with a Geelong fan who just walked out on me and said he'd see me tomorrow. The crowd went completely crazy and the noise was incredible. We went to the races the following day and backed a horse called fumbles as an omen tip from the previous night and it won at longish odds ! I have watched the last quarter on DVD many many times.

                                                          The following week was amazing. I sat behind the goals at the end the swans were kicking to in the last quarter. The previous year the saints had knocked us out at the mcg, and really had looked very good all season. We started so well that game, but all the talk during the game was that bbbbh was going to be suspended and would miss the gf if we won. I don't think at the ground they showed the maguire incident, or if they did I don't remember that. But after the first quarter the whole middle of the game seemed to flow the saints way. The last quarter most of us felt the saints would pull away on the balance of play. So when Schneider kicked those first couple and then mickey o kicked the one which bounced off Aussie jones face the turn around was so fast that it was difficult to comprehend. When Barry and mickey kicked their goals - one of which almost sailed directly to me - and the saints fans around just sat in stunned silence we knew we were home. The joy that we would be queue ing up for gf tickets that night and the next day was incredible.

                                                          This season feels different to me - almost like we as fans had nothing to lose because we had already won one recently. Going to us beat the pies at anz and watching Jetta run towards me was immensely satisfying.

                                                          But I still reckon being at kardinia park to watch Gary rohan run away from the cats and kick it from fifty is my favourite swans goal
