Watching 2005 grand final dvd's

I was thinking about this during the week, as I was putting on my 2005 premiers t-shirt. The time has flown, but the memories still linger.

[Trickster]

Happy Premiership Day everyone!

[31 hard at it]

Happy anniversary to all Swans fans.

[Rod_]

I knew that today was a great day - Party on Swannies

[laughingnome]

I needed that smile today. Happy Anniversary indeed!

Found a 10-minute highlight reel on YouTube for those stuck away from their dvd of the game today.

2005. What a year.

Swans win their first flag for 72 years and my first child was born on the day Makybe Diva won its 3rd Melb cup in a row.

It does seem like a long time ago now, but yes what memories and the celebrations at punt road oval after the game is just unforgettable, I was hugging and high-fiving people I have never seen before in my life!

Me too...I have become quite teary thinking about it...best day ever

[Wardy]

It was indeed a terrific day - and again today- went to boozy lunch - and am now on leave for a week - pretty much like 2005 - happy days!!!

I have to confess, 2005 was super special and I'll cherish the memory always... but the day itself was torture, cannot remember feeling so nervous before a game ever (before or since). If anyone's read the book 'Fever Pitch' by Nick Hornby (think Des mentioned it once...?) he's got a terrific line in there about finals being wasted on the fans (talking about his first Cup final as an Arsenal fan), because we have so much invested in the result that we cannot really 'enjoy' the game as the neutrals do on GF day.

Still it was just a fantastic moment and I'll never forget the relief when the final siren went!! I think I still have a photo of the lap of honour after the presentations of LRT, medal around his neck, in the goal square. You would have gotten long odds on that in the first few rounds of the season.

Very true.

My partner said my complexion was mostly ashen during the game, but turned a pale shade of green after Luke's turnover to Cousins. It stayed that colour until the final siren.
