What an epic achievement. It's still not sunk in that we've actually managed to win the premiership.
91 points is our highest score ever in a Grand Final.
10 points is, as Goodes said in jest, a "blowout". It is our second-biggest winning margin in a Grand Final and the most one-sided Grand Final that Goodes has played in.
Smashing hoodoos to win and even just to get there.
Adelaide: 14 games, 2 wins.
Collingwood: 11 games, 11 losses.
MCG: 15 games for 1 win and 1 draw.
Win. Win! WIN!!
Goodes tore his PCL, had the trainers make a new PCL made out of lots of firm bandages and played out the game without painkillers.
We've now got five dual premiership players and five premierships.
There's an eerie similarity with Geelong's results in Grand Finals.
Geelong: WLLLLLWLWW (1963, 67, 89, 92, 94, 95, 2007, 08, 09, 11)
Sydney: WLLLLLWLW (1933, 34, 35, 36, 45, 96, 2005, 06, 12)
If this pattern holds, we will win the next Grand Final we play in."Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

Yep - he was looking absolutely worse for wear!!!! Not really sure he knew what was going on. Hannebery also looked pretty heavy going this morning, and Gary Rohan as well had obviously had a very big night!"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Awesome game yesterday. Just awesome. We have spent the day driving up the Hume beeping and waving at other Swans-decked cars. I love all my boys. So proud of all the young kids in particular and stoked for the guys that played in 06. I dont think i have stopped smiling
It's going to be hard to fly under the radar next year when we go back to back. I love this club.
Am i the only one who was more worried in the third quarter than the fourth? They had that building feeling in the last and i knew they could do it.Life's not a spectator sportComment

LOST: One voice - lost somewhere in the Jolimont Area yesterday. Generous reward offered...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

Welllllll - if by 'rejuvenated' you mean 'managed not to vomit', yes. A few of the lads looked like they were on the last legs of a well-deserved celebration (or still in the midst of it). Good on 'em. Mummy in his turned-up collar, fancy trousers, and too-big, oh-gawd-that-shining-ball-in-sky-hurts-me Lou Reed sunglasses just staring off into the SCG in particular was brilliant.Comment

Big tick to the AFL for the after match on the MCG. Was lucky enough to get a ticket to be on the MCG and celebrate the win. It was a terrific intiitive and one that was well received by everyone. I have a photo of me kissing the MCG turf on the way out and pinched pinched some grass from the hollowed ground.
Bought the Premiership posters and T-Shirt on the way out and then caught a tram into the city. The tram broke out into a version of Cheer Cheer which was approximately the 764th time that I sung that song - Shake down the Thunder? You bloody betcha we did...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style.

One inPunt road outside the ground and again when I turned off Punt road and went down Alexandra Pde a distance if 1.5 Kms between each - good thing I was sober because my passenger was plastered!!! But in all it was a long but bloody fantastic day I do love our Swans..I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................
