Fans who can’t make it to the Swans Hall of Fame dinner to be held in Sydney on Saturday night, April 29, can watch the event live by clicking here.
The live stream, which commences from 7.00pm, will take in all of the excitement and Bloods’ history as the Hall of Fame event unfolds at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.
All of the current Swans players and coaching staff will attend the function.
A significant number of new inductees, chosen from the past 137 years since the Club was formed, will be named to join the 23 men who were inducted at the inaugural Hall of Fame function, held in Melbourne in 2009.
At that function Bob Pratt, Bob Skilton and Paul Kelly were named as Bloods Legends, while other former Swans stars such as Dennis Carroll, John Rantall and Greg Williams were inducted. One of the 2009 inductees will be added to the exclusive Bloods Legends group on Saturday night.

Fans are reminded that while we are very pleased to provide this service to fans who can’t attend, the live stream may not work for everyone.
The stream will be of medium quality to cater for the largest number of people possible. Please understand that there is the possibility of dropouts and technical issues.
Slow internet connections and older computers may make viewing the stream more problematic.
You will be able to start the stream at any point during the night and it will work as any regular video on SwansTV. If you can currently view videos on SwansTV, you should be able to view the stream.
Common streaming problems include:
Apple computers require Microsoft Silverlight to play our content so you will need to install that before you can watch any videos. It is a free download.
Check that you don’t have any other programs open that heavily use your internet connection as this can cause the video to load slowly, or to pause and drop out. Programs that may cause such problems include Skype, YouTube, ITunes etc.
We hope you enjoy watching the second Hall of Fame event, presented by QBE.
