And I was contemplating dropping the premiership club option... my last 5 trips to the G have ended in defeat (OS in '12) but I teared up watching this and so I'll pony up again I guessComment

Wow. We've been privileged with so many wonderful moments along the Swans journey, and many great players to admire. Watching that made me realise how hard it would be to compile my "top ten Swans moments" along the way.
There were a couple of things I'd have included in the compilation that weren't there. One is the Marty Mattner tackle in the 2012 grand final.
The other would be some moment representing the Adelaide game last season when the crowd - Swans and Crows fans alike - stood and reached out to our absent hero. I realise this represents an episode in our club's (and the whole competition's) history that most (all?) of us wish had never happened, but it did, and it forms part of the history of our shared experiences. Regrettable though the circumstances were, for me that afternoon sits right up there with our magnificent finals wins and Lockett's record breaking game as my most treasured Swans moments and memories.Comment

Great stuff. We've had some terrific footballers.
Seeing the 2012 footage makes 2014 and 2016 really hurt. I haven't watched much of that since 2014. Yes we've been spoilt but missing two golden opportunities really stings.Bloods

I don't mind admitting that I got a little emotional.
Wish there was a little more from the early/mid 80s, & perhaps opening with early SM footage (maybe the 1909 GF?), and a few more Capper screamers.
But it was beautiful. Thank you!Comment

Some memorable quotes in there.
- I see it but I don't believe it.
- Sydney have done it. That culture, the Bloods.
- The longest premiership drought in history is over. Sydney are premiers of the AFL.
- Here it is.
- Leo Barry you star.
I am sure there were a lot more that I missed.Comment
