When the shy, skinny and homesick O'Loughlin turned up for his first training session with the Swans, few would have predicted he would still be in Sydney for 15 years, playing more than 300 games and becoming the club's games record holder.

More on Michael O'Loughlin
Description from Wikipedia:
Michael K. O'Loughlin (born 20 February 1977) is an Indigenous Australian rules football player with the Sydney Swans of the AFL.
Selected in the 3rd round of the 1994 National Draft, O'Loughlin played 11 senior games for the Swans in 1995 and earned a Rising Star award nomination. The following year, he was a key player in the team that won the minor premiership and then lost to North Melbourne in the Grand Final. He is currently the games record holder holder for the Swans, passing John Rantall's record in round 14 of the 2007 season.
At the end of the 2007 home-and-away season, he had played 269 games, mainly as a forward, kicking 457 goals and receiving the nickname "Magic" or "Mickey O". In 2000 and 2001, he was the club's leading goalkicker. He was club best and fairest in 1998 and runner up in 2000, and was selected in the All Australian Team in 1997 and 2000. When State of Origin matches were still being played, he represented his state on several occasions, receiving the Fos Williams Medal for best South Australian player in 1998.
In 2005, he was selected alongside Sydney Swans teammate and cousin Adam Goodes in the Indigenous Team of the Century, which he described as the highlight of his career, although a premiership would be right beside it. Later that year, the Swans won the Grand Final against the West Coast Eagles and so O'Loughlin, the only player remaining in the team from the 1996 loss, although his kicking for goal was uncharacteristically inaccurate in the Grand Final, did indeed add a premiership to his achievements.
