In 2005, our club engraved its name in the pages of sporting history.
Ending a 72-year premiership drought, with 91,828 fervent spectators in attendance, the Swans beat the West Coast Eagles by four points to claim our first flag since 1933.
The pivotal moment remains etched in Australia’s collective memory, standing as the highest-rating AFL game of all time.
It captured the nation’s hearts and minds 20 years ago – and now Endemolshine Australia has captured it again.
Shaking Down the Thunder is a four-part documentary series that goes behind the scenes of the 2005 Premiership.
Told through the players, coaches, commentators and fans, the series celebrates resilience, passion, and the indomitable spirit of Australian Rules Football.
Episode 1 will air on 7 and 7Plus on Wednesday, June 25 at 10pm, following The Front Bar and Unfiltered (featuring John Longmire).
We would like to extend a huge thank you to the AFL, Endemolshine Australia especially Scott Jolly and Lesley Kelleher, and the 7 Network for bringing this story to the people who matter most – our passionate red and white members and fans.
