Round 16 West Coast 16.16(112) defeated Sydney 15.10(100) This game differed from the previous contests between these two teams. For the first time since 2005, the winning margin was greater than a goal. Also the scoring was much heavier. Rather than the traditional "Battle of attrition" which these two teams are known for, this game was much more attacking.

Over 40,000 people lost power today as severe storms swept through Sydney. The storms formed due to a combination of an upper trough passing overhead with a surface Southerly change moving up the coast. With ample moisture still in the air, it didn't take long before severe storm warnings were put out by the BOM for flash flooding across Sydney, Illawarra and the Hunter.

Sydney played in the 2006 Grand Final, but was defeated by the West Coast Eagles for the premiership title, losing by one point - the closest Grand Final result since 1966 [1]. The previous year, the Swans narrowly defeated the Eagles in the 2005 Grand Final by 4 points in an epic low scoring encounter. The 2005 Grand Final victory ended a 72 year premiership drought; at that time, the longest for a club in VFL/AFL history.
