In the lead up to Christmas 2011, sydneyswans.com.au is counting down the 12 Days of Christmas with the best reasons for you to show your passion and become a Sydney Swans member in 2012.

Sydney Swans memberships are now available to be purchased online or by calling our friendly membership services team on 1300 663 819.

Reason #2: Dan Hannebery's unbelievable courage

Being listed at 182 cm and 78 kg didn't stop Dan Hannebery throwing his body into contests with some of the league's biggest units in 2011.

Whether it was backing back into the hole against Essendon's Michael Hurley or heading front on into Carlton's Matthew Kruezer, Dan didn't give an inch and inspired teammates and supporters alike with his courage. In the contest against Kruezer, Dan even followed up again with a committed smother!

Unfortunately the last memories of the season for Dan were him jogging off the MCG with his shoulder unable to go back into its socket. Luckily that has been operated on and Dan is currently in pre-season training and ready to hit 2012 in full flight.  

Show us your passion as a member in 2012 and you can be there to see Dan attack the ball at full pace from the safety of your reserved seat.
