Plugger's point after the siren | Swans v Bombers, 1996 PF | AAMI Classic Last Two Mins | AFL 

As a proud Swan, this is a moment I'll never forget. Unfortunately we couldn't get it done the week after... I was at the parents place with mum and dad. Never seen dad cry before, but he did that night. And come 2005 he finally saw his beloved Swans break that drought, he cried that day too...

I come back here every so often just to feel something

One of the greatest games of footy ever played.

I was at that game. Best game I've ever seen, unbeatable.

Probably the most exciting behind in AFL history.

living in cairns we didn't have any tv coverage then or radio coverage. i sat out in my car and on the radio picked up the call from sydney. i flew down to melbourne the following friday and saw the grand final. i still live in cairns and 5 more grand finals later i have seen 2 premierships. go sydney.

I was at the SCG for this match, which was my second AFL match I attended. I missed getting to the Grand Final because I had to fly back to the USA. funnily enough, this match was our featured match of the round on our 1-hour highlights show we had at the time on a 1-week time delay in the USA, hosted by Rex Hunt. I remember this so clearly from watching it so much that I could recite Sandy’s, Robbo’s, and Healey’s commentary of the match by memory. Phenomenal match, which I used to introduce my NFL loving friends to the AFL.

Free flowing footy, umpires letting the play go. Almost a rarity these days.

look, sydney supporter and thoroughly of the belief premlinary finals are the most memorable fixtures but this is the absolute pinnacle of my life supporting the swans (followed by 2012). 1990s, golden era of footy, plugger, a time when - even if novelty -the SCG atmosphere (96/97) was truly special and immpecably called by sandy and ian robertson (flawless). think of prelims - north v cats 94, crows v dogs 97, dees v hawks 87, power v saints 04, blues v bombers 99 (greatest game of footy ive ever seen), hawks v pies 11, bombers v crows 93 and obviously more, but they are the greatest and arguably more satisfying than flags. being lucky enough to win flags in my life time has been special but the realisation you come back and do the exact same thing in 6 months with no promotion/relegation means prelims leave the greatest feeling for supporters from my perspective

how's that kicking style of Lockett's? Perfection.

Witnessed this one in Kings Cross Hotel on a bender. All time! Plugga pull a blinda!!!

Its important to note that Essendon shouldn't have been playing in this game anyway since the would have been eliminated by West Coast in Perth the week before, but West Coast were forced to play their HOME final at the MCG because of VicBias in the AFL which was even worse in the 90s than it is now.

Remember this Steve😀😀😀

What a great moment that night.

GO SWANS!🔴⚪️

i remember an nrl player said on the news a week later that it was the biggest party in Sydney he'd ever seen... the whole state went beserk 😆

I remember being 8 years old watching this as a mad bombers fan. I went to my room and sulked for the rest of the day after this. My revenge was watching them get thrashed by North Melbourne in the finals.

Ironic that the greatest goalscorer of all time, his most important kick was a point.

Wow

Ahh - the days when the clock didn't stop for balls up

I love the swans nice win by one point

You are oooof

Swans
