    3AW call of 2005 semi-final

    There was a thread requesting this over on the BF Swans board, so I dug around in my computer and found Clinton Grybas and Rex Hunt's radio call of the dying minutes of the semi-final against Geelong, which I've put onto youtube as a kind of tribute to Clinton. It was originally made available on an SMH blog page (when I managed to record it) but I think it got taken down.

    Great stuff. Rex tried to come over the top at the end but Clinton wins it.

      Holy @@@@ing @@@@. I thought the Channel 10 call was great, but that was amazing. Grybas nailed it. So sad, yet awesome at the same time.

      Good ol' Rex nearly lost it for good. Surely the Swans most amazing moment.

      Fantastic find!

          What scumbag commentators! They were virtually barracking for the Cats in the last couple of minutes.

          Having said that, if we beat then like that this season, what is the bet that the commentators will be a little more enthusiastic about the little old Swannies.

          Yep folks, it is that time of year again. Time to remember. Time to dream.

              It's Tony Shaw's comments bemoaning "Oh that's not right!" , noting a Swans extraordinary victory, that really annoyed me.

              Shaw is one of those Melbourne entities who simply refuses year after year after year to respect the Swans. (Think of others such as Dipper, (he rarely tips Sydney to win); Caroline Wilson; etc etc)

                Lol at Rex trying to butt in into Clinton's commentary but failing miserably.

                  Thanks XS - wonderful stuff still.

                        That commentary is on the multi-commentary set of DVDs. But still took the chance to hear it again - and it still brings a tear to the eye. It's even better now knowing what it led to (but I got home at 3am the next morning and watched the whole game again on Fox).

                            I'll have to get those DVD's out again.

                            I thought the only commentary choices were for the GF (Ch 10, MMM and AW from memory). So you're saying you have a choice of commentaries for the semi against Geelong ????

                              I thought so too
                              If the other commentaries are on the SF and PF, I'm spewing I've overlooked them for so long.
