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'.

I didnt recall any statement similiar to this after our loss against the Eagle .

I loved listening to that - the roar was so crazy loud! And it's true that we stole it.... I'm just glad that we did.

I'm as speechless listening to that as I was on Friday night at the game.....was at the Members end so had no idea what had happened....just heard and saw everyone go wild in the cheersquad!
TOPS!

Rex Hunt - he spent two seasons at Geelong

Right, I assumed the main caller was Rex. Who was that then?

A point scored anytime during the game counts the same. We did not steal the game we won it. 56 beats 53, and as I said points in the last seconds count the same as points in the first seconds. We finished over the cats and deserved to win.

Main caller was Clinton Grybas. Rex Hunt was saying 'oh no'.

It's not unusual that when a team wins in the (literally) final seconds, it's referred to as 'stolen' or 'pinched' or something similar - has been for years and in various sports too.

didn't hear 'stolen' in round 3

Did Geelong lead for the game except the final few seconds or am I mistaken?

We led for 6 mins 40 secs,we got the first goal of the game also, then the last one

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. I think the main caller was Rex Hunt. The 'oh nos' don't sound much like Grybas but I don't think it is Lyon either, so it must be Clinton.

No, just listened to it again, NMWBloods was right - Rex Hunt was the 'Oh No'

Funniest thing I've heard in ages!

OK - I think I'm convinced. Clinton and Rex are interchanging the main commentary over the period but the 'grand larcency' comment makes me agree that it was Grybas at that point (and thus Rex with the background noises) because it is a repeat of a phrase he uses early in the piece.

That is one of the best and most funniest calls I have ever heard of a sporting match! What made it even better is that we were on the winning end of it all. Doubt we will ever experience something like that match again...time to go and watch the last 5 minutes again..."Davis...Nick Davis...Class with a Capital C"!

I think part of it was that towards the end Clinton was losing his voice and sounding more like Rex.
