ALVIECurrent Affiliation: Colac and District Football League (CDFL) since 1947 Colours: Red and white Emblem: Swans Senior CDFL Premierships: 1950, 1954, 1959, 1962, 1965-6-7, 1969-70, 1975, 1977, 2000 (12 total) Alvie's tally of twelve senior Colac and District Football League premierships since World War Two makes it the competition's most successful club during that time. The club was particularly powerful during the 1950s, '60s and '70s, but failed to win any senior premierships at all during the 1980s and 1990s. The Swans most recent grand final success came in 2000, at the expense of Lorne. They also reached the 2005 grand final, but lost by 7 points against Forrest in a match in which only 5 goals were kicked. In 2007 they qualified for the finals in 4th spot with a 12-6 record only to bow straight out of premiership contention at the hands of Apollo Bay, who won a high scoring elimination final by 16 points.
