In the lead up to the 2017 Guernsey Presentation and Hall of Fame Induction Dinner we take a look through the history books.

Over the next couple of weeks, we will take a retrospective look at our current Hall of Fame members and the items already on the Heritage List.

Hall of Fame
Jared Crouch

Premiership player Jared Crouch was inducted into the Sydney Swans Hall of Fame in 2012.

Drafted from South Australian club Norwood in 1995, Jared Crouch quickly developed into a fine ‘run with’ player, especially against dangerous small forwards. He earned an AFL rising star nomination in 1998 as his pace and sticking ability made him a key component of the midfield.

After breaking into the senior team in 1998, he did not miss a game until round 13 of 2006, taking his consecutive games tally to 194 - an AFL record for consecutive matches played from debut. 

During these first six seasons, he also displayed remarkable consistency, finishing in the top 10 of the Club Best and Fairest each year and between 1998 and 2008 he played in nine finals series. He was an integral part of the 2005 Premiership team, and was presented with the Paul Roos Award for Best Player in the finals series in our Premiership season.

In 1982 South Melbourne became the Sydney Swans and the SCG became the Club's home, with our first home game being against Melbourne in round 1, 1982, when we defeated a Ron Barassi coached Melbourne - 20.17 137 to 16.12 108.

Since then, our Club has played 322 home and finals games at the SCG for 183 wins, 138 losses and one draw - a success rate of nearly 60%.
