    "Where's Nick Davis?" I'm not sure who the commentator was (someone on Ch10's coverage). It was at a boundary throw-in during the SF and I think Nick may have only kicked 2 to that point.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

        "There have been games this year where even someone like Adam Goodes has had to sacrifice his own game for the team," says Schauble.
        "No one really knows about it but those in the rooms. It doesn't get written about, but you're teammates know. That's what counts"

            Just checked the DVD to be sure - the exact words were:

            Tim Lane
            And the man who started it, the Schneiderman, can kick his third for the quarter. And the swans are in the Grand Final!

                Another:

                One of the great Grand Finals in the history of the game has been won by the Sydney Swans by four points. And they'll talk about Leo Barry's mark forever.

                  Aah the memories. Thanks for the reminder Bloods. If you dont mind Bloods, I'm putting these quotes in Word document and pasting them up at work along with the other Swans pictures.

                  Great stuff

                      My favourite was from my 3 yr old nephew who on seeing Leo Barry's mark (and knowing nothing about Aussie Rules) simply said,...........


                      'How did he catch it and all the other men didn't?'

                      Beautiful!

                        That's the best commentator one for me, but "Here it is" beats everything last year

                            refering to the first post, kennelly's goal was in rnd 20 not 19. I still reckon he was robbed of the goal of the year. Judd's goal was like missionary position sex.

                              I wasn't sure of the exact round, because I thought the Essendon game was in round 20.

                              One other Commentator quotation from the Kennelly goal would be "whoop!" which is the best transliteration I can do of the sound one of the commentators makes right before the quotation I gave. The commentators enjoyed watching the Swans this year.

                              "whoooagh!" - Leo Barry takes the matchwinner in the Grand Final. It was an impressive pack mark.

                              "sheez" - Time-on in the Grand Final and the Swans lead the Eagles by one point. The tension got to everybody.
