[mpr104]

WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!:D

[gossipcom]

I'll close my thread - damn right losing streak no more.

2005 Premiers - love that ring to it.

Damn I've been emotional all day but right now I'm proudly bawling my eyes out :)

First time ever I have come at the end of a match saying thank bloody God for Leo.

[shayne]

I had to watch the game with ten weagles fans including my fiancee I'm so happy at the moment I think fossy should get norm smith!

[Schneidergirl]

I can not wait until I can see that Leo mark!!!!!

I LOVE YOU SWANS..... YOU HAVE GIVEN US SOMETHING THAT TOOK 72 YEARS.... BUT GOD DAMN IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT.

[gossipcom]

Judd was given the NS medal - no surprise there :o

[gossipcom]

Farewell Bally for a great career - who wants to make a bet Willo will retire now - finally got that medal!

[Legs Akimbo]

I still can't quite believe it. I am destined to watch that game more than Star Wars.

God I love this team!

[Egan]

From Western Australian Eagles and Dockers supporter

Well Done on your efforts...

It is with these games the effort AFL puts into NSW comes to fruition, may the code grow with the agony I presently feel.

Please do not read into the 5% of arrogant hacks of Eagles supporters...they are not the true representative of the support base of our AFL teams.

I for one am one of the many, who would laud the way both teams went at it, and unfortunately there could only be one winner.

Congratulations Sydney, may the celebration be worth the glory for tonight and the off-season.

Bring on Season 2007!

A game that will go down in the history books...

[mpr104]

I thought Buchy was stiff..

[Glenn]

Thanks Egan, the Eagles can hold their heads high despite the loss...got 72 years of celebrating to make up for, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Seeing Kel present the cup to Hall and Roos, must admit it brought more than one tear to my eyes

[stellation]

HOOOJEWANNNABOOCHA!

[port1978]

Well done Swannies!!!!! Enjoy your win....I'm just so glad you beat those bloody E-girls.....gonna be so good seeing all the miserable e-girl supporters all over the place after they were so bloody cocky all week! :D
And any swannies supporters who went over from Perth......enjoy your flights back to the West!!! ;)

"For the bloods"

The replays in 40 minutes!

[ugg]

How sensational was that last mark by Leo? Leaping over 10 guys and coming down with it. I think they need to revise the Mark of the Year results and give it to him. He freaking marked the Premiership Cup!!! GO YOU SWANNIES!!!

[gossipcom]

Watching the press conference now with Roosy and Hall :)

I love it Hally didn't hear the siren until a few seconds later because of the amount of noise around the ground.

ETA: Love Roosy - I think the only person who's more relieved more than we are right now is Lukey Ablett :)

At some stage I might give someone a spray - gotta love this press conference.

[Egan]

I was one supporter that always thought it was 50/50 ball game.

And the end result was a 50/50 ball game.

[tantrum]

What an amazing match to top off an amazing season. I cannot believe we have finally won. Amazing games by Fosdike and LRT. Buchanan in the last qtr... wow. And Leo's mark - fantastic! I loved Jude and Goodesy's play.

For me, watching on TV here in England, it was unbelievably stressful and exciting. Just wish I was there, but so good for the club, our players and especially the old supporters who have waited so long.

Please ship my DVD over quickly... I am going to watch this one a lot. Go Bloods! Go Swans! You ripper!

[tantrum]

PS I gotta say I thought the umpiring was excellent, which amazes me since Goldspink was involved. Even the decisions I thought were wrong were perhaps justifiable in some way.

But anyway... Swannies, you bloody rippers!

[Yuri H]

On a chilly deck of a chilly pub on the deserted fringe of San Francisco I got to watch the Swans win and break the 70+ year dry streak, the first season I got to watch and roo... uhhh, barrack (sorry, language barrier) for 'em -

what a great game, both sides played well. I look forward to next season, when I will watch it all from the very start.

Wow.

[tantrum]

PS I think Fosdike should have got the Norm. He was big in the 4th, whereas Judd did his thing in the 1st. Amazing to think I'd be backing Fossy for the Norm Smith, but he has certainly come back strongly in the last part of 2005. Well done!

[gossipcom]

What will you remember about today?

I've been waiting for 72 years. Since before I was born!

********. Where to celebrate? Who's going to the family day tommorow?

The biggest winner was football today. Other than US of course.

[Dave]

:D :D :D :D :D

YYYYEEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!

[ugg]

For those that want to relive those last 2 minutes or so:

http://tinyurl.com/c4ecc

Love the commentary: "Leo Barry you STAR!!!". What a great mark but also a minute before that, great attack on the ball to prevent Green from picking it up.

[tantrum]

Yes, that attack from Leo a couple of minutes from the end was huge too.

[ugg]

Edit: double post! go swannies!!

[Snowy]

Thought Fosdike was the best, Buchanan great in the last 1/4, very courageous Leo. The overwhelming feeling is relief.

[gossipcom]

I'm going to the SCG Family Day - that starts at 11.30am.

Fossie, Buch and LRT really stood up in the match today.

[LittleSchneider]

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO

I CANT BELIEVE IT.... I keep walking around saying to myself - we won we won. I dont know what to do with myself!!!!

LEO BARRY YOU ARE A STAR! JUDE BOLTON YOUR A LEGEND!!! BARRY HALL - CHAMPION!!!!!


START OF A DYNASTY - BRING ON 2006!! BACK TO BACK!

Monty's goal which must have missed the post by millimetres, but which ultimately proved the winning goal.

Ablett's complete no-brainer which could have cost us everthying but then seeing his teammates rush to him and pat him on the back to keep him going -that's what this team is made of.

Leo's amazing mark in the final seconds to deny the West Coasters of their final chance to steal the game. An instant
classic.

ohhh. and Michael O'laughlin marking everything in sight and getting the yips - I thought I was about to see a tragedy unfolding.

This final series has been sinply amazing.

[Glenn]

I must admit to letting out a few expletives when NOG comitted football suicide, somehow the Swans dug deep and got the lead back and hung on like there life depended on it.
And as for Leo and that mark, was waiting for Goldy to find a free for the Weagles out of it ;)

Yeah, I got up and left he room, vowing not to return...but was back in a couple of seconds.

[bay_4]

That is just amazing.

Here on the other side of the world I shed a few tears in the Walkabout Pub, Covent Garden, London, after Leo's amazing grab. The Swans have given us some nervous moments over the years but nothing like that last quarter.

I am just over the moon, and can't believe it's really happened.

The Sydney Swans are the 2005 Premiers!

You @@@@en ripper!

[juliec]

How brave were you Sydney players today, and yes what about Leo's mark, my heart was in my mouth, I thought if they take a mark now, all our hardwork was for nothing, but in popped Leo, I hope they give him Mark of the Year, Blighty said on TV today if one happened today in the Grand Final they would change their earlier pick ,Kirky's mark not long before it was a saver for us also.

Never really thought when I picked my Signature it would really happen:D :D :D


GGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was listening to 3AW and they read out the Norm Smith votes... Fossy was right behind Judd in the count!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT! I'M IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK.... IT ALL FEELS LIKE A DREAM!
:D :D :D

PS. For some excellent photos get on to getyt images... they have some fantastic shots!

Superb pic of Leo grabbing that mark. Looks like Seaby would have grabbed it if he wasn't there.

Have saved it. It has an almost religous quality to it.;)

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS PEOPLE!!!!!

[dimelb]

Wonderful picture - and is that LRT taking out two Eagles? What a great game he had - and what a prospect for the future.

[gossipcom]

Fossie came 2nd in the NS Medal count with 6 (Judd had 11).
