2005 Premiership

The Sydney Swans won their first Premiership since 1933, and their first since moving to Sydney in 1982, to start the national competition. It was one of the best finals of all time with the Swans winning by four points, when Leo Barry took a mark deep in the backline seconds before the final siren sounded.

In a follow on from 2004, Australia Post issued a Souvenir Event Sheet on Monday the 26th September to commemorate the win. The sheet had ten Globe and map stamps with the Premiership Cup in the label.

First Class Collectables released a set of covers dated the 24th September 2005, the day of the game. They show Barry Hall, Team with Cup, Team and Coach, Team & Tickertape and Leo Barry. Coversplease also released a cover of the Team & Tickertape
