It was that time you just knew the flag was ours and we were going to be very hard to beat
At no point in time during that season did I truly think the flag was ours until after the siren blew on grand final day.....
The cheer that night was to date also the loudest I've ever heard. It was primal. So easy to forget what a cauldron the SCG can become. Had some great moments following sport, but it's those moments when the crowd is so loud your vision distorts that stick in the memory banks.
What a night.
Carn bloods!
I don't think any Swans supporter will ever forget where they were and what they were doing when they saw him kick it. For me, it went through so slow, like the Malceski sealer in 2012.
Had the same thing happen. Someone yelled out 30 seconds left so we were all up and down celebrating and hugging and high fives before the siren went. When it did go, we went absolutely mental.I wasn't lucky enough to be at the SCG in '05, but I do remember it so well. I was in year 12 at school, playing in the orchestra for a musical at the time of the finals. Back in the day of the old Nokia 3120 CDMA phone (my parents still have terrible phone coverage) I was sending every 5/10 minutes during breaks in the show for the little SMS updates for scores.
The show finished a bit after half time - when I'd given up hope pretty much on the basis of what had been seen score wise. We managed to find radio coverage of it for the 25km trip home , and got home just after the 3 quarter time siren.... I was disgusted and almost went to bed - but Dad told me in quite stern words 'I didn't drive home that bludy quick for you to go to bed' and we sat down and witnessed one of the most thrilling quarters of footy you would ever see.
Even my dad, who is not a big afl fan at all was going delirious late in that last quarter - and it really did feel like time stopped still when Davis kicked the winner.
I was lucky enough to be there in 2012 - and it felt like it took an eternity from when it left Malceski's boot to going through. The thing I remember most from where I was sitting (M8 I think it was), was the enormous roar from a guy behind, who obviously had a radio with him - who after the initial roar died down yelled at the very top of his voice - we've ****** done it - 30 seconds on the clock, we are Premiers!!!
Good times!!!
I don't think he was playing back thenI was despondent at 3/4 time...just leaving a 21st and thought we were stuffed. The missus is Geelong and she was grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Fair to say 30 minutes later, I was ecstatic, she was not and I didn't care about that elusive BJ!
He certainly earned his KFC bucket's worth.if not for Sir Nick we would not have the 2005 premiership. He should really go down as one of the most influential Swans of all time, all for 1 qtr's work.
Which might be my nickname for Nick D from now on - Bucketsworth. Has a certain aura of prestige to it.He certainly earned his KFC bucket's worth.

Or that bloke was just really REALLY loud.We must have all been in the same area.
