    In the half-second before the ball reached Mattner and Wirrpanda, I would have actually put my money on the Weagles winning the game. Wirrpanda was one of the few Weagles who kept his head when they started getting the wobbles. Going into the contest, W had all the momentum, he didn't give away a free kick, and while he was never going to mark, he got there in plenty of time to spoil. So my money was on him tapping the spoil to advantage, picking it up, burning off Mattner who was standing there flat-footed, and strolling into goal.

    Gee, it's great to be wrong.

      Great to see the usual suspects on BigFooty claiming that the Swans won because of the umpiring.
      Well Sydney did get a free to win the game (which was clearly there).
      Obviously they chose to overlook the shafting Sydney got earlier.

        No. But Ted is one of the few I'm prepared to forgive for nearly giving it away (only because Marty got him out of the hole). Ted was pretty darn good all night, especially in the first half when the rest of the team was crap.

          Harsh on Noggy, sure he needed to lift during the game but I thought his last 5-10 minutes were great. He went after the ball, broke tackles and generally helped us move forward.

            Stop reading BF! Your heart has already had enough trouble for one night!

            My fav comment of the night goes to whoever said Ablett's checkside kick was an interesting choice...gold.

            How many times in his career has Mal kicked it OOBOTF? Not many, I'd suggest. Nice time to introduce a new talent to your game.

              That free would be paid 9 times out of 10.

                  I concede I'm harsh on NOG but that shot on goal was woeful.

                    But you might never have made it out alive! Seriously, how pissed would the Eagles fans be. Excellent.

                      I was wrong about Gerard and his hair.

                        That would have been gold!!! 2006 was amazing, walking out of there was one of the best feelings of my life!

                            The best side in the AFL for chasing down a lead!!!

                            Would anyone disagree that the Swans are one of the best sides in history to chase down a lead....incredible self belief!!!

                              I've got to catch a plane tomorrow but I am so hyped up I won't be able to get to sleep...so I'll panic about not being ableto wake up in time and that will stop me getting to sleep...etc..etc.. Bloody Swans are the root of all evil.

                                If we had of lost that, this place would be a bloodbath.

                                Luckily we got up, the first 3 quarters seem irrelevant now.

                                Our attack on the ball was woeful for most of the game, it reminded me of last year.
