Found an article in Saturday's Herald which basically explains while I'll end up with gray hairs sooner rather than later.
It appears my beloved Swans are the league leaders in matches decided by one point. The Swans and their opponents have been seperated by one point on 62 occasions. Of these 62 games, none is more famous than the 1996 Preliminary Final against Essendon. With scores level, all Tony Lockett needed to do was score and the Swans would be into their first Grand Final since 1945. Lockett scored what probably remains the clubs most significant point.
The Swans have won 31 of their games decided by 1 point and lost the other 31. I would be interested in having a look at how many Swans games have been decided by a margin of less than twelve.
Postscript: After beating Collingwood by 1 point, then losing to Richmond by 1, the Sydney Swans beat Geelong on Saturday night by 54 points.
