We Are The Premiers!!!!!!!

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!!!

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.

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

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

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!

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

Edit: double post! go swannies!!

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

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

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