Some of the best moments in my life have been as a Swans fan. When I think about the times in my life of pure euphoria, the Swans are usually involved. There are so many moments I was lucky enough to see in person:
1. Plugger kicks a behind to make the grannie and the scg descends into chaotic scenes of joy, strangers high fiving and hugging each other. Later that night the players get introduced at Easts leagues and everyone (except the Swannies) parties until 4am.
2. Nick Davis. After being robbed in the West the week prior, the grounds keepers at the SCG were instructed to water the ground creating Geelong like mud lark conditions. This is a true story Which will never be acknowledged. We looked gone at 3/4 time but my mates and I never gave up. We used to have fun swapping the names around so we had Harry Ball, Dick Navis and the coach Raul Poos. But it was dead-eye Dick who saved the day and the SCG erupted - it was so loud it was deafening.
3. Leaping Leo Barry
in the 2005 GF.
4. Mal kicks a floater to win the 2012 GF (As we sat near the Hawks cheer squad)
5. The truly eerie SCG against the crows. The 7th minute of the 3rd quarter, we all stood with Adam and applauded
6. Plugger breaks the record and fans storm the SCG
I’m sure I’ve left out a few, Mickey O raging on the west coast cheer squad comes to mind.
But overall, I know some of you will think I’m mad, but Nick Davis v Geelong takes the cake. The despair, the fleeting hope, the dare to dream, the magic Then the mayhem. They played the team song I don’t know how many times, I reckon you‘d have heard the roar at Bondi.
what’s your favourite swans moment ?
sorry if this thread’s been done to death before.
