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.
3Qualifying Final, 2016
Greater Western Sydney 12.19 (91) defeated Sydney 7.13 (55)
The first time both Sydney sides met in the finals was one that solidified its place in the history books. GWS dominated the second half after a tight contest despite missing Steve Johnson to suspension after his prior bump on Josh Kennedy, with Jeremy Cameron stepping up in his absence and having one of his first many great finals games by booting a staggering 4-goals.
