Sydney Swans Highlights. From Round 1 to Round 23, including Finals. The 2016 AFL Season was fantastic and one of the best in Swans history. The Swans are 6th as of July 2021.
Franklin, Hannebery, Rampe, Parker and Kennedy were all named All-Australian while the Swans claimed the minor premiership generating magnificent highlights throughout the year.
Supercut version; the old video was 2 Hours and 38 minutes long and I realise this may not be anyone's cup of tea apart from fanatic swans fans.
