Guys
Season 1995 saw the arrival of the great Tony Lockett from St Kilda. In what turned out to be a pretty good year for Sydney, after a couple of very poor seasons 1993 and 1994, Sydney would finish 12th, winning 8 games, 4 more wins than in 1994.
Tony Lockett would kick a century of goals for Sydney, finishing on 110 for the season.
Perhaps his greatest day though, came in round 19, playing Fitzroy on a Sunday at the Western Oval, in front of just 7426 people, Lockett would kick 16.0, on the way to a massive victory for the Swans, 27.8.170 to 6.8.44.
Lockett even spent 9 minutes on the bench before half time, in a communication mishap with the runner, perhaps, without this time on the bench, he may have equalled the great Fred Fannings all time record of 18 goals in a single game.
What are peoples recollections of this day? Was anyone on here, present that day at the Western Oval???
