Four members of Sydney's 2012 premiership side have been inducted into the club's Hall of Fame, while former player and coach Paul Roos has been elevated to Bloods Champion.
The title will see Roos join the likes of Tony Lockett, Roy Cazaly, Barry Round, Greg Williams and Brett Kirk, among others, as a Bloods Champion - an honour that recognises decorated Sydney Hallf of Fame members not yet qualified for Bloods Legend status.
Roos famously led the Swans to their drought-breaking premiership in 2005, with the premiership coach holding the role for nine years before handing the reins to current coach John Longmire.
The 61-year-old amassed a record of 116 wins, 84 losses and two draws during his time in charge of Sydney. Roos also played 87 games in the red and white during the 1990s after a stellar career with Fitzroy that spanned 269 games.
โPaul Roos is a giant of the game and a fitting person to be elevated as a Bloods Champion in our 150th year,โ Swans CEO Tom Harley said.
โHe was a fantastic player in his own right and is adored by our members and fans for the role he played as senior coach, highlighted by the 2005 Premiership."
The Swans have also inducted Jarrad McVeigh, Kieren Jack, Nick Smith and Heath Grundy into their Hall of Fame. The quartet of Sydney champions were given the honours on Thursday.
McVeigh, a captain of the club during their successful 2012 season, played 325 games for Sydney to sit third on the club's all-time games list.
Jack also served as captain alongside McVeigh from the 2013 season, with the midfielder winning a Bob Skilton Medal and All-Australian honours during his 256-game career.
Smith was an All-Australian and a reliable defender under both Roos and Longmire, with the Swans great retiring after 211 matches.
Grundy was another crucial member of the Swans' premiership rearguard, with the hard-nosed backman playing 256 games for the club.
โI also congratulate Jarrad, Nick, Heath and Kieren for being inducted to the Swans Hall of Fame. They have all been wonderful servants of this football club and they have each have left a great legacy," Harley added.
โAll four should be extremely proud of what they achieved as footballers, but more importantly, they are wonderful people who continue to contribute to our club."
Sydney have eight Bloods Legends, with Bob Skilton, Bob Pratt, J. Herbie Matthews, Paul Kelly, Ron Clegg, Adam Goodes, Peter Bedford and Peter Burns earning elevations to the prestigious title.
