          I downloaded it and finally got around to watching it last night, there was not a lot we didn't know already, though the bit about Roos' early days as a player at Fitzroy, and Walls saying they were the closest group of players he'd seen, did offer some insight into the whole 'Bloods' spirit we saw in 2005.

          I've seen the highlights of the premiership win so many times now, that it's actually starting to get boring. I need another one!

          Overall, I think it's a decent, if unspectacular, account of the Swans' journey over the last three years. Seeing where we were in mid-2002 when Eade quit, in 2004 when the Saints knocked us out, and in Round 10 last year when we were so awful, it makes the achievement winning a flag seem even more remarkable.

          7/10.

            Just came back to the computer and re-read my post, thought I was a bit harsh. I did enjoy re-living it again, still got a bit of a shiver down the spine when they lined up for the national anthem on grand final day, and when Hunter puts through his 2nd goal I still think "@@@@, we were gone if they'd gotten another one"!

                  Now it's not downloading at all. 7.6% done, 53 days remaining, no progress for several hours. If you've got it already, don't be a leech and please seed the file so others can have it too.

                      I've had my torrent program (Azureus) closed for a few days while I worked on some video projects (Azureus is a major processor hog, and can screw up other stuff pretty badly).

                      To the current leechers, don't panic. I made a public vow on another forum that if/when I got it I would leave it up for a year. If it's not downloading right here right now, it will. You will get it. My ratio is currently at 3.546 and I hope it goes higher (because that means more happy Swans fans like me).

                      To Xie: I'm glad you backpedalled on your original comments. I think the doco is a highly creditable production (aside from the fictitious word 'qualifing' appearing at one point). Considering it's an in-house Ten production, not a commissioned or outside project, it's quite exceptional.

                          Thanks Dendol. That makes two of us now, and five peers (much nicer word than "leecher") who are all going to have to be a bit patient. It's pretty disappointing that a fair number of people who've obviously got it have now disappeared. My strong belief in karma helps me through these things.

                          Afterthought: maybe they're Bigpond subscribers (an utterly overpriced service and the only provider to my knowledge with the gall to charge for uploads *and* downloads - double dipping at its worst). Get away from Telstra ASAP you fools! http://bc.whirlpool.net.au will help you see the light.

                              I uploaded a 90mb copy of the program here for a friend who lives overseas. Obviously the quality is not as great as in the original 700 mb file, but still very decent.
