Just wondering what some memorable games are for other swans supporters rather than the more famous ones (Ie. Grand Final 2012, 2005 Preliminary Final 2012, 2005, Semi-Final 2005). Just realized despite the terrific season we had in 2005, I can't seem to recall any regular season games in that season besides the eagles at Subiaco, probably due to the fact I was so blown away by the Finals games.
For me:
1995 Round 5 v Adelaide - The first victory we had against Adelaide I can recall. The biggest winning margin I had seen the swans win by. At the time, the swans were regularly thrashed, so it was a big deal to me.
1995 Round 22 v Collingwood - Always remember this game as it was Barrassi's last game as coach and we managed to keep the pies out of the finals and give their spot to Brisbane. The rendition of the club song after the game was also funny as hell.
1996 Round 11 v North Melbourne - Possibly overshadowed by the game against Carlton and Geelong a few weeks later. We absolutely annihilated Wayne Carey and North Melbourne. Roos's 300th. Carey had his shirt ripped apart. Tony Lockett handballed to Shannon Grant in the goalsquare and goaled. Shannon Grant returned the favour, handballing to Lockett alone in the square goaling -- was pretty funny at the time.
2000 Round 21 v Richmond - Pretty bad year for the swans. One season highlight for me. Attended the game. Won by a point.
Over to you.
