2005 Footy flashback - Willo talking about Davo the Cats killer

[Nich]

No matter how many times I see it, it remains a spine-tingling awe-inspiring quarter of football. Watching at home we went from the depth of despair to the height of sheer exultation. It made Davo a genuine legend of the game and I can't imagine a future when people won't be talking of it.

I was at home watching it too and lived amongst a maze of apartment blocks at the time. I wasn't sure how many of my neighbours were Swans fans or AFL fans at all and I soon found out when a chorus of screams rang out through every loungeroom around me. I'll never forget it. Not quite like being at the ground obviously but still a great memory : )

Nice anecdote from Willo. What are the odds of being injured in a Nick Davis tackle?

What are the odds of being in a Nick Davis tackle, let alone injured in one?

Hehe. I got a good laugh out of that.

Anyway, that footage never ceases to make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. I always experience that feeling of nervousness, that fluttering in the pit of my stomach even though I know exactly what happened. I doubt I will ever get to experience a game like that again. A brilliant individual performance, coupled with a come-from-behind win with 3 seconds to go - that game was nothing short of a miraculous.
