Just listened to it - spine-tingling stuff!
But why did they keep going on and on about it being highway robbery, I think they even said "this is wrong" when the siren went 
At least the TV commentators acknowledged Davis' brilliance and the fightback.
We may have been extremely lucky and didn't really deserve to win, but come on, if you're the better team for the majority of the game as Geelong were, but don't put it on the scoreboard when you have the chance, then are you really the better team? Harsh, but I can remember several occasions in the past few years where the Swans learned this lesson (as recently as last week!), and in 2002 IIRC when we lost all those close games.
Edit: Re-reading my post I don't want to be too hard on the Cats - they were brave, but Huddo made a telling comment in the dying stages before THAT bounce - "They aren't daring to go after the footy. The Swans are..." The difference in the final quarter perhaps?Last edited by Xie Shan; 12 September 2005, 03:51 PM. -
Thanks for that Rizzo! Now I don't even have to leave my desk to replay that event over and over. At least I had to go to the video before.
It is spine tingling and the roar of noise they had seems more the way I recall it than the more muted one on Ch10.Comment

I have no problem with the comments. If we had been on the other end, I'm sure we'd be talking about it in similar terms. There is no doubt we stole that match. People here can waffle all they like about persistence and hard work, but if you trail since early in the first quarter, have kicked only 3 goals 8 minutes into the last quarter, and take the lead with only 2-3 seconds left, there is no doubt the game was 'stolen'.Originally posted by sydfan83

That Geelong missed their chances is undoubtable, but the game was still 'pinched' and it's pretty normal when the side that leads virtually all day loses in amazing circumstances, it is considered 'wrong'.
Sometimes you guys are a bit too precious about any perceived 'negative' comments. They weren't done with any malice.
Huddo's comment on Geelong not going for the ball was correct, and I think it was Rex who sounded disappointed when Johnson didn't take the ball out and Ablett knocked it in. Huge mistake, but I guess he was worried about being pinged for deliberate. It was unlikely though.
Garry Lyon does talk about Davis at the end too.
Very exciting to listen again though. My heart-rate just jumped a few notches and I could picture the whole thing in my head.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Fantastic stuff - still thrilling to listen to. Thx muchly for the link!!
For me, in cold light of day, I can now rationalise it that they won 2 qrs & we won 2 qrs so highway robbery? Pffft.

It's not wrong. The side with the higher score when the game ends is the winner, not the side that led for most of the game.Originally posted by sydfan83

The Sydney MMM call when Davis kicked that goal basically consisted of lots of unintelligible screaming. (I suspect it was mostly Luffy)Originally posted by JudesaGun

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
