Grand Final replay tonight on Foxtel.

[annew]

So agree Gerard Drew and thd mob (and McClure!!!!??????????!) their call was fantastic on the day and I listened to it in replay driving to Albury on the Sunday !

I was so disappointed as I didn't hear it and can't find a link anywhere to listen, not even on you tube

Try ABC grandstand and abc.net and it may be pod cast - it was just fantastic.

with about three minutes to go there will be a kick into the forward line - have a look at how much grundy is holding onto hale's arm directly in front thirty metres out. i sure am glad no-one spotted it.

A bit like how they didn't spot Pyke being manhandled as he tried to take a mark early in the game, or Goodes as he tried to mark falling to ground in the final quarter and was clearly interfered with.

The umpires let defenders get away with a fair amount all game, and to give credit to them, they were at least consistent in this aspect all game. Watching the game live I feared they were going to pluck a softy in front of goal to decide the game, but fortunately that didn't happen.

My main take after my 97th time watching the game is "how the hell didn't Hanners win the NS?" ROK had an excellent game, for sure, but I thought Hanners was sensational throughout, and was involved in many momentum shifting moments. His coolness in kicking that goal to get us back into the game in the final quarter was fantastic, particularly as he has shown a tendency to miss those kind of shots from that side of the ground.

I don't think I will ever get tired of watching the boys' reactions after the siren went. Still brings a tear to the eyes.

My view hasn't changed from the gf itself. I thought Hanners was the standout player. I said to the person next to me that hanners had to win it. Watching live I thought Hanners was clearly our best player.

Having said that when watching the game on the tv you see the effort in the packs and the tackling from rok and even sewell - who i really didn't notice at the game terribly much at all. But even with the benefit of watching on tv I reckon ROK was on a par with a whole group of our players - AJ, NS, LRT, MP - all of whom were clearly in the best half dozen of our players - but i simply couldnt have put him as our best player.

But then maybe it was recognition of his continued success over a longer period.

In terms of the Brownlow and Norm Smith voting seems that people just look at the number of possessions and vote accordingly. After 2005, I'm just glad that a Swan won!

[Go Swannies]

Hanners would have been another justified winner. But he has many years and many Premierships ahead of him.

Personally, I'm glad that ROK is the Swan's first Norm Smith medallist.

I haven't watched a replay (I know, but waiting to get my hands on the DVD! Walked into a couple of shops in Canberra 2 weeks ago asking for it and got blank looks in return), but from my view in the nosebleeds Macca and Hanners were the clear Swans standouts. I was shocked when ROK got called out tbh.

Sometimes we forget that Dan is just a 21 yo. What a special kid he is.

I tried to find the ABC call pod cast but only found a highlights package a few days after the game. I also called ABC marketing to get a copy of the broadcast on DVD but after two days of discussions they said they weren't able to provide it due to copyright restrictions!?
In 2005 they happily supplied me with a cassette tape of the call (at a price) but it was not a problem.
Whatever is stopping them podcasting the full call, I believe is the same reason the ABC call isn't on the DVD. They probably didn't pay the AFL enough money.

At the game my immediate thoughts were Hannebery for the Norm Smith or possibly Pyke as a smokey.

Watching the replay again (yes I couldn't help myself for the 10th time) I still felt Dan or Kennedy shouldve got it.

Brad Sewell could've done a Juddy though, he was brilliant.

That was my intial reaction as well. Hanners was magnificent. On watching the replays I can't really fault the choice of ROK though. There was a bees appendage between the 2 players on the day.

I think the best bit of this Grand Final is that you CAN watch it over and over, and there are four quarters of quality football. You just never get tired of it.

It is something for the boys and the believers to be proud of.

[31 hard at it]

The final highlight will be the players in the rooms singing the club song I have never seen it sung with more passion and joy !

Still spewing that our billion dollar game allows channel 7 to not cover it in HD. Compare and contrast swans crows game with the granny
