They narrowly missed the finals in 1952, but from 1953 to 1969, they never finished any higher than eighth on the ladder. By the 1960s it was clear that South Melbourne's financial resources would not be capable of allowing them to compete in the growing market for country and interstate players, and their own local zone was never strong enough to compensate for this.

However interest in the code in Sydney remained the poorest in the country (where it was behind three other football codes). In the late 1970s, however, with increasing professionalism of the sport there was an overall increase in national interest in the VFL competition.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] In 1976, Melbourne journalist <a href="/wiki/Jim_Main" title="Jim Main">Jim Main</a> began to break a story that a leading Melbourne businessman who had relocated to Sydney, Mannie Bongornio, had been meeting with <a href="/wiki/Allen_Aylett" title="Allen Aylett">Allen Aylett</a> about luring a VFL club to Sydney. The idea began to gain traction and in 1977, <a href="/wiki/Ron_Barassi" title="Ron Barassi">Ron Barassi</a> proposed the VFL setting up a club in Sydney, which he offered to coach believing that it would help spread the code in the state.<a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a> Upon becoming league president, Aylett had the league investigated playing Sunday matches at the SCG.<a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> The VFL scheduled 2 premiership matches for the <a href="/wiki/Sydney_Cricket_Ground" title="Sydney Cricket Ground">Sydney Cricket Ground</a> in 1979. One of them, between the <a href="/wiki/1978_VFL_Grand_Final" class="mw-redirect" title="1978 VFL Grand Final">previous year's grand finalists</a> North Melbourne and Hawthorn drew a record 31,395 to the gates. In 1979 the financially struggling <a href="/wiki/Fitzroy_Lions" class="mw-redirect" title="Fitzroy Lions">Fitzroy Lions</a> conducted a feasibility into the possibility of moving to North Sydney and a proposal was put forward, but was voted down by its board in 1980.<a href="#cite_note-Jim_Main_2006-52">[52]</a> To test the market further, the VFL scheduled 4 matches for the SCG in 1980 with an average attendance of 19,000. In April 1980, the VFL stated that its market study showed there was sufficient support for a Sydney team, finding that there was an increase in television ratings in Sydney and sustained attendance at matches and that it intended to have a team in Sydney, possibly as soon as 1982.<a href="#cite_note-53">[53]</a> A 1981 report by <a href="/wiki/Graham_Huggins" title="Graham Huggins">Graham Huggins</a> concluded that there was an "untapped market in Sydney which represented an excellent opportunity for the league."<a href="#cite_note-higgins_report-54">[54]</a> The report claimed that 60,000 people in Sydney had stated that they would regularly support the new club and 90% of these supporters would watch VFL on television from Sydney and 80% of these supporters had not attended rugby and 92% believed that Australian rules could become popular in Sydney.<a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> In 1981 the VFL had decided that it would establish an entirely new 13th VFL club in Sydney along with a possible 14th team.<a href="#cite_note-higgins_report-54">[54]</a> The VFL was under strong pressure from interests in <a href="/wiki/Adelaide" title="Adelaide">Adelaide</a> to admit a South Australian club and from the ACT for a new <a href="/wiki/Canberra" title="Canberra">Canberra</a> license, however VFL president <a href="/wiki/Allan_Aylett" class="mw-redirect" title="Allan Aylett">Allan Aylett</a> was convinced that Sydney was the most viable option.<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> By 1981, Canberra's <a href="/wiki/ACTAFL" class="mw-redirect" title="ACTAFL">ACTAFL</a> had edged out rugby league in popularity with an increase in participation it had become the number one sport.<a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a> Under significant pressure from a rugby league junior development push and fearing the impact on its strong local competition of entry of a Sydney team made a formal bid for licence to enter a Canberra team into the VFL.

Aylett's view was that Sydney offered a much bigger television audience and the most potential to add to the league's lucrative television rights.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The league had also estimated that the club could initially draw support from an estimated 300,000 ex-Victorians living in and around Sydney.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> With the possibility of another club making Sydney a viable move, in 1981, the South Melbourne board, recognising the structural difficulties it faced with long-term viability and financial stability in Melbourne, decided not to miss what it saw as a strategic opportunity to capture an untapped market and save its club. The board made the decision to play all 1982 home games in Sydney. The club had been operating at a loss of at least $150,000 for the previous five years. News of the proposal broke on 2 July 1981, after which a letter was sent to members justifying the board's reasons for making the proposal and noting that the coach and current players were in favour of the move.<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a> On 29 July 1981, the VFL formally accepted the proposal, and paved the way for the Swans to shift to Sydney in 1982.<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a> Inevitably, the move caused very great internal difficulties as a large supporters' group known as Keep South at South campaigned against the move throughout the rest of 1981; and, at an <a href="/wiki/Extraordinary_general_meeting" title="Extraordinary general meeting">extraordinary general meeting</a> on 22 September, the group democratically won control of the club's board. However, the new board did not have the power to unilaterally stop the move to Sydney: under the VFL constitution, to rescind the decision that had been made on 29 July required a three-quarters majority in a vote of all twelve clubs, and at a meeting on 14 October it failed to obtain this majority.<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> The new board, whilst representative of most fans, lacked the support of the players, many of whom were in favour of a long-term move to Sydney; in early November, after the board promised that it would try to bring the club back to Melbourne in 1983, the players went on strike, seeking to force the new board to commit to Sydney in the long term as well as seeking payments that the cash-strapped club owed them from the previous season.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> The board ended up undermining its own position when it accepted a $400,000 loan from the VFL in late November in order to stay solvent, under the condition that it commit to Sydney for at least two years.

Sydney lost their first game against <a href="/wiki/Greater_Western_Sydney_Giants" title="Greater Western Sydney Giants">Greater Western Sydney</a> and then to Collingwood before becoming the first non-South Australian team to win at <a href="/wiki/Adelaide_Oval" title="Adelaide Oval">Adelaide Oval</a> defeating Adelaide by 63 points with Lance Franklin and Luke Parker kicking 4 goals each. After a loss to North Melbourne in Round 4, the Swans' won twelve games in a row, including victories against 2013 grand finalists Fremantle and Hawthorn, Geelong by 110 points at the SCG and then ladder leaders Port Adelaide. In Round 17, the Swans defeated Carlton to match a winning streak set three times in club history, the last of which came way back in 1935,<a href="#cite_note-164">[164]</a> and eventually closed out the season with their first minor premiership in 18 years and a club record 17 wins for the season, eclipsing the previous highest of 16, which was achieved on six past occasions in 2012, 1996, 1986, 1945, 1936 and 1935. In 2014 the Swans were minor premiers, and also qualified for the <a href="/wiki/2014_AFL_Grand_Final" title="2014 AFL Grand Final">2014 AFL Grand Final</a>. They defeated <a href="/wiki/Fremantle_Dockers" class="mw-redirect" title="Fremantle Dockers">Fremantle</a> at home in the first qualifying final in Round one of the finals series and so earned a one-week break. In the first preliminary final the Swans had a convincing win against <a href="/wiki/North_Melbourne_Kangaroos" class="mw-redirect" title="North Melbourne Kangaroos">North Melbourne</a>, which led them to their fourth grand final in 10 years. The <a href="/wiki/2014_AFL_Grand_Final" title="2014 AFL Grand Final">2014 AFL Grand Final</a> was played on Saturday, 27 September 2014, in near perfect weather conditions, with Sydney seen as favourites leading up to the match. This was the first time in a finals series that former Hawk player <a href="/wiki/Lance_Franklin" title="Lance Franklin">Lance Franklin</a> would play against his former team, one of very few players to have played back to back grand finals for two different teams. The Hawks dominated the game quite early and eventually defeated the Swans 11.8.(74) to 21.11.(137). The 63-point loss was Sydney's biggest ever loss in a grand final and their biggest defeat all season, meaning Hawthorn would become back to back premiers for the second time in their history.<a href="#cite_note-165">[165]</a> The Swans started the 2015 AFL season well, winning their first three, before losing their next two games against <a href="/wiki/Fremantle_Football_Club" title="Fremantle Football Club">Fremantle</a>, where they trailed by as many as 8 goals before half-time, and the <a href="/wiki/Western_Bulldogs" title="Western Bulldogs">Western Bulldogs</a>. They won their next 6 leading into the bye, including home wins against <a href="/wiki/Geelong_Football_Club" title="Geelong Football Club">Geelong</a> and <a href="/wiki/North_Melbourne_Football_Club" title="North Melbourne Football Club">North Melbourne</a>, and an upset away win against <a href="/wiki/Hawthorn_Football_Club" title="Hawthorn Football Club">Hawthorn</a> in the grand final replay. The Swans lost their first game after the bye, their 3rd of the season to <a href="/wiki/Richmond_Football_Club" title="Richmond Football Club">Richmond</a> at the SCG, 11.11 (77) to 14.11. (95). The Swans rebounded with unconvincing wins against <a href="/wiki/Port_Adelaide_Football_Club" title="Port Adelaide Football Club">Port Adelaide</a> and <a href="/wiki/Brisbane_Lions_Football_Club" class="mw-redirect" title="Brisbane Lions Football Club">Brisbane Lions</a>, before suffering their heaviest defeat for 17 seasons against the <a href="/wiki/Hawthorn_Football_Club" title="Hawthorn Football Club">Hawks</a> by 89 points.<a href="#cite_note-166">[166]</a> The following week was no better with a road trip to Perth and another loss, this time to the <a href="/wiki/West_Coast_Eagles" title="West Coast Eagles">Eagles</a> by 52 points, the scoreline ultimately flattering the Swans. The Swans bounced back against Adelaide with a convincing win 52-point win, but lost their next game to <a href="/wiki/Geelong_Football_Club" title="Geelong Football Club">Geelong</a> at <a href="/wiki/Kardinia_Park_(stadium)" title="Kardinia Park (stadium)">Simmonds stadium</a>; a close affair that Geelong blew apart in the 3rd quarter.

For the first time since 2011, the Swans failed to make a preliminary final. The Swans' continued period of success, in which it has missed the finals only three times since 1995, has led to some criticism about a <a href="/wiki/Salary_cap" title="Salary cap">salary cap</a> concession which the club receives; the concession is in the form of an additional Cost of Living Allowance (COLA), due to the higher cost of living in Sydney compared with any other Australian city.<a href="#cite_note-170">[170]</a><a href="#cite_note-171">[171]</a> It was, however, announced in March 2014 that this allowance would be scrapped.<a href="#cite_note-172">[172]</a> The trade ban was fought by the club before the 2015 season and a reprieve was won, with the AFL allowing the club to participate in the 2015 AFL draft. There was a catch however, with the league imposing an edict that the club could only recruit players at or below current average wage of $340,000 (adjusted figures for 2015 was $349,000).<a href="#cite_note-173">[173]</a> During the 2015 season, with the Swans team stretched by ageing players and injuries, it had become apparent that the trade restrictions that had prevented the Swans from participating in the 2014 draft, had impacted the list. With the trade period looming, Andrew Pridham lobbied the AFL to lift the trade restrictions, labeling the ban as a restraint of trade.<a href="#cite_note-174">[174]</a> In response to continued discussions between the club and league, as well as lobbying by the AFLPA,<a href="#cite_note-175">[175]</a> the league further relaxed the trade restrictions for the Swans during the 2015 AFL Finals. The AFL changed the sanctions so that the Swans could replace a player that leaves the club as either a free agent, or through trade, with another player on a contract up to $450,000 per year. This allowed the Swans to trade for <a href="/wiki/Callum_Sinclair" title="Callum Sinclair">Callum Sinclair</a> in a swap deal,<a href="#cite_note-176">[176]</a> as well as trade a late pick for out-of-contract defender, <a href="/wiki/Michael_Talia" title="Michael Talia">Michael Talia</a> from the Western Bulldogs.<a href="#cite_note-177">[177]</a><a href="#cite_note-178">[178]</a> The Swans started off the 2016 season with a convincing 80-point round 1 win against <a href="/wiki/Collingwood_Football_Club" title="Collingwood Football Club">Collingwood</a>, with new Swans recruit <a href="/wiki/Michael_Talia" title="Michael Talia">Michael Talia</a> suffering a long-term foot injury. They followed up the next round with a 60-point win against the Blues, with new recruit <a href="/wiki/Callum_Sinclair" title="Callum Sinclair">Callum Sinclair</a> kicking 3 goals. The following week they defeated GWS by 25 points, with <a href="/wiki/Lance_Franklin" title="Lance Franklin">Lance Franklin</a> kicking 4 goals. In the following match against the Crows, <a href="/wiki/Isaac_Heeney" title="Isaac Heeney">Isaac Heeney</a> starred with 18 touches and 4 goals in a losing side. Three more wins followed, against West Coast, Brisbane and Essendon respectively before a shock loss to Richmond in round 8 by a solitary point, after a kick after the siren. They bounced back to win against top spot North Melbourne, and the Hawks at the MCG, with Lance Franklin booting 3 goals, including a bomb from 80 metres. After a tight slog against the Suns, the Swans played the Giants once more and were defeated in the club's 100th game. They won their next game by 55 points against the Demons, in a fourth quarter breeze. After a bye in Round 14, the Sydney Swans lost their first game after, again with the last kick of the game, by 4 points. The week after was soured by a family feud involving co-captain <a href="/wiki/Kieren_Jack" title="Kieren Jack">Kieren Jack</a> and his parents, after they were reportedly told by him not to come to is 200-game milestone. After the spat, Jack led the Swans to an emphatic upset victory against Geelong, booting 3 goals and gathering 24 possessions in the one-sided 38-point victory at Simonds Stadium. They then travelled back home where they faced Hawthorn and lost their 3rd match of the season by under a goal, as Buddy went goalless for the first time in the season. After an unconvincing win the following week against Carlton, the Swans went on to win their last 5 home and away games by a combined total of 349 points, giving them top spot and a home qualifying final.<a href="#cite_note-179">[179]</a> Ahead of their first final against cross-town rivals the Giants, the Swans confirmed that they would play all home finals at the SCG except for Sydney Derbies, which would be played at Stadium Australia. The final would create history, being the first Sydney Derby to be played in a final. It was also the first time that the Giants would make the finals in their fifth year. In a low-scoring first half, the Swans were very competitive, trailing by only 2 points. However, a mark not paid to Isaac Heeney midway through the third quarter turned all the momentum the Giants way, as they kicked away to win by 36 points. The Swans only kicked 2 goals after half-time with Giant <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Cameron" title="Jeremy Cameron">Jeremy Cameron</a> outscoring them in the third quarter alone with 3 goals. They were quick to bounce back the following week, thumping the <a href="/wiki/Adelaide_Crows" class="mw-redirect" title="Adelaide Crows">Adelaide Crows</a> by 6 goals, with Franklin and <a href="/wiki/Tom_Papley" title="Tom Papley">Tom Papley</a> kicking 4 goals a piece, after a blistering 7 goal to 1 quarter. The story was pretty much the same in the preliminary final against the <a href="/wiki/Geelong_Cats" class="mw-redirect" title="Geelong Cats">Geelong Cats</a> at the MCG. The Swans kept the Cats goalless for the first quarter, and were never really challenged in their 37-point triumph. It would take them to their third grand final in five years, against the Western Bulldogs at the MCG. After leading by a scant 2-point margin at half time, the Bulldogs pulled away towards the end of the fourth quarter to hand Sydney their second grand final loss in three years.<a href="#cite_note-180">[180]</a> The Swans began the 2017 season with six straight losses, after being upset at home by Port Adelaide in the opening round, they were upset by Collingwood and Carlton, and suffered defeats to the Western Bulldogs, Greater Western Sydney (who won their first game at the SCG) and West Coast Eagles (in Perth). However, they managed to win 13 of their last 15, losing both their games to <a href="/wiki/Hawthorn_Football_Club" title="Hawthorn Football Club">Hawthorn</a> by 1 goal. Some of their best wins include against the reigning premiers the Bulldogs, GWS, and comeback wins against Richmond and Essendon. After becoming the first grand-finalist to lose their first six games, they have become the first team to reach the finals after starting the season 0–6. They would comprehensively defeat Essendon in their first final, before slumping to an ugly defeat against Geelong, ending their season.<a href="#cite_note-181">[181]</a> The Swans had an indifferent 2018, compounded by their struggles at home, losing 5 out of 11 games at the SCG. A lean patch of form which included upset losses to Gold Coast (for the first time ever) and Essendon (for the first time since 2011) had them looking likely to miss finals altogether; however, three out of four wins in the last four rounds was enough to see them into their ninth consecutive finals series, where they were comprehensively beaten by GWS in the elimination finals.<a href="#cite_note-182">[182]</a> The Swans' golden era of finals appearances came to an end in 2019. They missed the finals for the first time in a decade, finishing 15th on the ladder with 8 wins and 14 losses. They started the season poorly with just one win in their first seven matches, although they would briefly recover after winning five of the next seven games. Six losses on the trot ended any chance of a tenth consecutive finals appearance, but strong wins over also-rans Melbourne and St Kilda in the final two rounds ensured the season ended on a positive note.<a href="#cite_note-183">[183]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="2016–present:_Pride_Games">2016–present: Pride Games</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sydney_Swans&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: 2016–present: Pride Games">edit</a>]</div> In 2015, a pre-season Pride Game was played at <a href="/wiki/Drummoyne_Oval" title="Drummoyne Oval">Drummoyne Oval</a> between the Swans and the <a href="/wiki/Fremantle_Dockers" class="mw-redirect" title="Fremantle Dockers">Fremantle Dockers</a>.

The 16th-place finish was also the lowest in club history.<a href="#cite_note-188">[188]</a> After two seasons out of the finals, the Swans rebounded to great effect in 2021. An excellent first month of the season, which saw them upset Brisbane and reigning premiers Richmond, set up a strong home-and-away campaign. Seven wins in their final eight games saw Sydney secure sixth position with a 15–7 win-loss record, just percentage outside the top four, but their year came to a premature end in the finals after a heartbreaking one-point loss to crosstown rival Greater Western Sydney in the second elimination final. The players felt as though they had more to give, and were overcome with disappointment knowing that they had no finals win to show for it, in a season which had otherwise been a massive step in the right direction.<a href="#cite_note-189">[189]</a> In 2022, the Swans backed up their meteoric rise up the ladder with another promising start, winning five of their first six matches. This included a 30-point win against Geelong in Round 2, which involved Lance Franklin kicking his 1000th career goal, sparking one of the biggest pitch invasions in AFL history. After a mid-year slump, in which the Swans lost winnable games against Gold Coast, Port Adelaide and Essendon, they finished the home-and-away season with seven wins in a row, securing a top-4 berth for the first time since 2016. In the 2022 finals series, the Swans beat Melbourne by 22 points at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to lock in a home preliminary final. The Swans played Collingwood in the preliminary final and won by a single point, qualifying to play in their fourth grand final in 12 years under Longmire.<a href="#cite_note-190">[190]</a> On 24 September, the Swans were defeated by Geelong by 133 points to 52 in the <a href="/wiki/2022_AFL_Grand_Final" title="2022 AFL Grand Final">2022 AFL Grand Final</a>.
