Swan Districts Football Club

 

Swan Districts Football Club

Swan Districts are an Australian Rules Football club based in the suburb Bassendean to the east of Perth. They joined the WANFL as it was then known, in 1934, winning 7 out of 18 games in their debut season.
In early 1961, Swan Districts appointed Haydn Bunton Junior as senior coach, this saw the Swans win their first flag in 1961, with two more following in 1962 and 1963.

John Todd, who took the coaching reins at Bassendean in 1977, brought with him a new winning culture, one which would emulate that of the Haydn Bunton era. By the 1980's, the Swans became the dominant side in the WAFL, winning three straight flags in 1982, 1983 and 1984.
