    theirs - 30 more seconds and we could of stolen it but leo was always going to take that mark and we could have held on to posession for a few minutes at least. also, we were finishing strongly and they were dead tired but in '05 it was still pretty even.

      But the Eagles led virtually all day in 2006 and you'd have to be unlucky to lose from that position.

        Eagles 2006. Not that I really think it was lucky as such, just think they were the luckier of the two.

        We turned it around in the 2nd half in 06, we would have been fair premiers. It was very much a game of two halves.

        In 2005, we should have put them away after their two early goals in the last, we should have won by 20ish. I think it would have felt very much like we were robbed last year.

            This is really going to be a fairly pointless discussion...

                They were lucky the siren rang when it did. Otherwise we could've caught up and won (or drew).

                      History will not mention either win as lucky & neither should we.

                        2006. When the last Swans goal went in, I thpought we were a chance, but someone a couple of seats up said '39 seconds". At that, I thought " Ah f@@k it!"

                          2005 - Leo took the mark, he was holding on to the ball when the siren went.. we had possession.

                          2006 - Throw in, in our forward 50..

                          You'd have to say the Eagles were the 'luckier' premiers.

                            Eagles 2006.

                            They got lucky when Hall missed from 2 easy shots.

                            They got lucky when B1 missed from 2 shots.

                            They got lucky when Monty fumbled.

                            They got lucky when Jolly had to have the baby just 48 hours before the GF.

                            These things that happened in the GF, seemed to benefit the Eagles.

                            We make our own luck, and unfortunatley we made luck for them.

                              The Eagles definitely seemed luckier, but it's still a dumb question to ask on a website for Sydney fans.
