After entering the competition in 2012, it would take some years of embarrassment before Greater Western Sydney would compete and challenge the Swans' dominance over them to establish one of the best rivalries in the league.
The Swans hold the bragging rights after winning 20 out of the 31 matches between the two Sydney clubs, while Luke Parker has won the most Brett Kirk medals with five.
Here's my ranking of the 10 most exciting games between the clubs in the lead-up to their 32nd meeting this Friday at the SCG.
5Round 7, 2023
Greater Western Sydney 17.5 (107) defeated Sydney 16.10 (106)
Sydney took control of the game after trailing by 10 at the half with a six-goal third term. Toby Greene would boot four goals for the match, topped off by an across-the-body snap 25 metres out to win the game in the final minute for the Giants and took home the Brett Kirk medal in the process.
