I'll say that Nick Davis magic in the 2005 Semi-Final (I think) is my favourite Swan match. That still remains one of the most exciting matches I've ever seen.

Surely "That mark" will be one of the defining moments...

Im sure "Leaping Leo" is still talking about it.

I think this is my 2nd fav game, after the 05 GF, Nick Davis game 3rd.

Things like Pluggers 1300th goal. Gerard Healy and Diesel Williams coming and going. Ron Barassi's year in charge. 1996 GF. Paul Kelly and Adam Goodes Brownlows. People power paul Roos appointment.

There are some I reckon will rate.

[Capper]

What about
Signing Plugger from the saints
Mike Willessee and others helping the swans out of financial troubles

and i cant remember who it was against but Darryn Creswell (who never took a mark overhead) taking 2 overhead marks to convert to 2 goals to win a game during the finals

People power paul Roos appointment.

Take that Terry Wallace

[ossie85]

Reckon Paul Kelly himself counts as a defining moment

Darryn Creswell knocking his knee back into place after it dislocated!!

30 defining moments is a lot in 30 years.

They'd have to go into the lesser known ones

They'd put Roos' retirement in I'd guess
