[@velocityjet1884]

we are both blessed we seen x2 but we will see more that's for sure

[@LomuHabana]

May (late) condolences, So happy for him and you that he was able to witness this Flag, he now surely rests in peace.

[@spavds]

I've watched this video a lot of times but never commented. I'm an Eagles fan so the pain of this game and seeing Leo rise up above the pack never ceases, but i'm a passionate lover of of great game that is AFL in general. I have the utmost respect for the Sydney FC and what Paul Roos did at that club. This video has got to be one of the most feel good AFL videos on youtube

[@TheRooster69er]

i was there on this day and also the night plugger kicked the point... i get a tear everytime i watch this and i always watch if im having a shitty day.. the music is amazing and the images of Paul Kelly and those who kept us believing that the swans would oneday have their moment in history.. well done and thank you

[@fedefrew]

My dad's side of the family have always been bloods fans, so as a baby girl i was born into being a swans supporter. I was born in june 1996 and was there at the MCG 2 or so months old. Through the years i have never lost faith in the Swannies, even though my mum and my sister often 'change' teams whenever the Swannies have a not so good years. Swans forever! Both me and my dad were in tears hugging every other bloods supporter in the crowd around us. BLOODS FOREVER!

[@rickydarcilover5581]

I had a different reaction. Watching on TV with a neutral friend, I sat in stunned silence upon the siren. I was nearly 60 at the time. It took me a good 15 minutes to come out of what I call some sort of trance. Such a thing couldn’t be possible for the team I had watched so many times as a little boy crying my eyes out after every loss of which there were so many. That grand final along with 2012 are definitely the greatest joys of this old man’s life. I also believe I have a very sound reasons to believe I’m going to experience more joy in 2020.

[@LomuHabana]

2024 and the Swans are top notch again. Good chance to make the GF and even win it again.

[@AnthonyLeighDunstan]

Caaarn you BLOODSTAINED ANGELS!!! Make it an epic battle! 1881, 1885, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1909, 1918, 1933, 2005 - "Aut vincere aut mori"

[@PaladinCasdin]

Last game of footy I got to watch with my grandfather before he died - a Bloods fan for over thirty years. Seeing Leo take that mark...epic, epic moment. Fly high you mighty Swans! :)

[@doowopsnhooligans]

i shivered 4 times.. i have watched it a number of times.. i was only 7 years old, & being at the MCG for grand final, i didnt understand how big it was. it is a moment i will never forget. CARN THE BLOODS!

[@rodjsec]

I was at the Swans first game at the SCG. I was there in 96 when they beat Hawthorn and Essendon and then lost the GF in 96. In 05 I was at the win against Geelong and that Everest of a conquest at the MCG. The tension and excitement were palpable, dripping off the stands. It was viscous in the air. And then... we won. Pure ecstasy and a life long joy to have witnessed it. And then I was at the GF in 06. A fan's journey and a club's journey... I guess to be continued. What a sport!

[@Rockford03]

I get a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye every time i watch this or thr GF replay, My uncle passed away 2 weeks b4 this and he was a swans supporter for over 60 years RIP Uncle Eddie!

[@lupzkidd]

that was the greatest game i had ever been at i partied all the way back to sydney then celebrated for like a week longer. GO THE SWANS we can do in 2010.

[@BKRInc]

Paul roos imminent retirement from coachin you have done so much for this club as a player and a coach you brought us a premiership after a 72 year drought You are a legend and immortal

[@TONYMOOREONE]

I was living in New York at the time. 4AM on a Saturday morning we were at this aussie pub crying with unbelievable feelings of finally conquering the mountain. We were so far away but at the time, there was a band of aussies who celebrated with the rest of Sydney & South Melbourne. We didn't stop partying for rest of the weekend. I'm back in Sydney now, and I will be at the G the next time it happens I assure you!!

[@LomuHabana]

And where you there in 2012?

[@AnthonyLeighDunstan]

In so many relocations, teams lose something. Often something inexplicable. 1998, NRL - St George Illawarra lost the 'hard work ethic' and never-say-die attitude when connection was severed with the Illawarra. I went searching for a new team, and found it in the swans. I had seen the grit and might in the amazing 1996 GF against NthMelbs. I decided to commit and I've never ever looked back! An inspirational team forever. To me, the core of the swans remains to be the SthMelbs grit! Be proud!!

[@thejohnstar13]

i have seen this video soooo many times before and every time it almost brings a tear to my eye. as a passionate dogs supporter i know the pain of a premiership drought and seeing the swans fans and payers in this video make me believe that some day that the dream of finally winning another premiership may happen. great video and beautiful song well done mate you really captured what the game stands for :)

[@LomuHabana]

And it happened, alongside another grand final in 2021!

[@Rockford03]

Love this video its shows the passion and faith swans supporters have ,After the final siren i rang my uncle (swans fan for 80 yrs) to see how he felt to only find out he passed away the week b4 so now the 2005 GF is etched in my mind forever RIP Eddie

[@aekara071]

too see paul kelly at the end .. a true blood champion

[@schumi26]

even when i am an eagles supporter. I like the swans also because of their history. And that win on 2005 was one of the best games what i ever seen. And the GF 1 year later was the prove. Eagles and Swans one the best teams in the 21st century.

[@Schemz03]

Even as a one eyed lifelong Essendon supporter, watching this still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, cant wait for today's game!

[@TimePlanck]

I hope so too man. I've always enjoyed watching the Bloods play too - and their "never say die" ethos strikes a chord with me. Good luck for both sides in '10!!

[@dangorgievski2907]

Looks like we only had to wait seven years for the next one! CARN BLOODS!

[@SplitCity]

Nice work. I was behind the goals where Barry took the mark. I had no idea he took the mark though as everybody was jumping up and down. One of the best grand final moments ever!

[@lupzkidd]

i was at that match i was like YAAAAAAY take that west cost eagles but i was sad when we lost the next year GO SYDNEY SWANS 2008 IS OUR SEASON

[@296Echo]

This remains one of the great moments in Australian sporting history - I was at the game - it was a magic day which is burned into my brain and will remain there for as long as I can draw breath.....

[@rickydarcilover5581]

MANCHESTER UNITED . You are the soccer dick head, too stupid to work out that the whole of Australia follows Aussie rules because even though Northern Territory and Tasmania don’t have an AFL team that’s only because their populations don’t warrant setting up a team that doesn’t mean all the people who live in those places don’t follow the sport because they certainly do and you are a total idiot

[@296Echo]

@MANCHESTER UNITED Why would anyone follow DIVE BALL ....a game exclusively reserved for limp wristed wimps and fairies - better start following a CONTACT sport Pal ...... try AFL GAA NRL or NFL ....

[@peterkehoe1984]

@M Sorry but this along with Cronulla's droughtbreaking NRL premiership in 2016 were better than the Socceroos vs Uruguay game. Both Grand Finals remain the only time I've shed tears over a sporting event. In Cronulla's case, as someone who started following the Sharks since I was 4 (32 when the drought breaker finally came) it was absolute relief and joy, same as the Swans in 2005. Something you will never understand. Simple fact is Australian rules football was invented by Australians for Australians. My suggestion for you would be to pack your bags and fuck off back to wherever you came from.

[@OldFossil]

@M You do know that the Olympics exist right?

[@ozzmanzz]

Glad you liked it. The song was "One More Day' from the 'Veronica Guerin' movie soundtrack and the singer was Sinead Oconnor All the best Mark

[@wiigamez12345]

You should make a similar version of 2012

[@DanielTRulz]

I love the crowd reaction of the Sydney supporters at 2:12 and even better at 2:18! Go the Swans!!!

[@killbot86]

So much new footage..... A Swan for life, Bloods forever......

[@samistheman69]

Words cannot describe this video. I watch it most nights before i go to bed and it always brings a tear to my eye. I still remember the exact moment when the siren went that day, and hopefully i will get to witness it many more times with sydney as the victors.

[@rick_fortune]

Why have I never seen this before? I'm sitting here crying my eyes out. Awesome, Awesome vid...

[@BKRInc]

The song is beautiful, the victory was wonderful when we won i didn't how to react i celebrated like it was my last day one earth lol

[@anthonywalsh785]

the happiest day of my life as i saw, along with my brother and 2 good friends of ours, sydney win the flag.,

[@thefireydragon3299]

How I've managed to miss this video, I have no idea but it had me in tears. It's so well done and to be able to look back on what our might bloods have achieved is priceless!! Go swaniesssss

[@JeremyDezso]

What a video. You're a talent. The best moment of my life.

[@bamsworld25]

Brings back great memories. Will never forget that day! Go the Bloods!!

[@bobs5290]

I was there behind the goal when Leo Barry took that mark ,like a dream Unreal moment 🎯 Go Bloods

[@MetaRisor]

The very best sports video I have ever ever seen, just magnificent and so beautifully put together. The song is wonderful as is Sinead O'Connor singing it...........just devine. What a story what a day I watch this a lot just to reaffirm my faith in the great team that is the Sydney Swans

[@davo9678]

Mate that was awesome. And very touching too. Great video mate and GO THE SWANIES. GO Bloods!!!!!!!

[@shkoles]

one of the greatest days of my life....will never forget the feeling of being at that ground on this day.

[@brett262411]

We will beat adilade and make it in the grand final 2012 go the all mighty bloods

[@NatoCaloGaming]

One of the most saddest things ever... I'm a Collingwood supporter (yes I do have my front teeth) and I waited 20 years for a grand final but to see a team such as Sydney win their first in 72 years is just astounding! I remember feeling this good when in my 2nd last junior footy match for under 11's. They were up by 2 and we got a goal. We were in front by 4 with 50 seconds remaining and my coach put me on. When we won, we were just as excited as the swans in 2005, it took us all season to win.

[@rickydarcilover5581]

NatoCaloGaming . I salute you for such comments being from a Maggie supporter. Cheers to you Sir.

[@grantb8168]

Chills down my spine! The expressions on the faces in the crowd! The music! Oh man, a day and a game I'll never forget. You nailed it all in one video.

[@michaelgumbula]

Love my team forever, mann after 72 years

[@Paperbagman555]

My favorite moment was when I was at the game against Geelong Where Nick Davis scored in like the last second. So amazing and the crowd just exploded.

[@stevemurrell6167]

That has to be just about the loudest crowd noise on tape ever.....!! Except maybe for the '05 GF when the final siren went and the TV viewers couldn't hear it. :)

[@TimePlanck]

As a Dogs supporter I know the pain of waiting a long time for a premiership as the South faithful had been for 72 years. Respect.

[@LomuHabana]

Now you know how it is to end a drought as well!

[@Retro-Rock]

Great video! the best on youtube in my opinion!

[@stevolikesmoney]

Swans 2005 premiership is one of the most moving years eva first with nick davis's miracle four and ofcourse that last roll of the dice when leo barry marked it, i remember being in that croud i was screaming for the siren XD GO SWANNIES... oh nice vid XP

[@samistheman69]

Two cities, one team living the dream.

[@davo9678]

I love the swans. This is the best grand final of my life. Plus our fans are good looking. We have all the hot chicks :)

[@stevemurrell6167]

Immortal commentary from Steve Quartermain.....up there with the best 'big moment' calls in history!

[@tillyadams3890]

About the only milestone I think you've missed is Pugger's 1300th in 1999 (on the end of a great pass from Kell).

[@sallymay37]

[@Altiar253]

ide just like to say i am a crazy hawthorn supporter! And that video nearly brought a tear to my eye! very well put together video well done

[@ozzmanzz]

We had some great battles over those years. After both Grand Finals what got me was the attitude of the crowd. Not one problem at all. After the game in 2005 I saw Eagles fans stay and clap the Swan’s players as they were presented their medallions so after 2006 I made sure I did the same for the Eagles.

[@JayDrei]

It really feels good during victory. The music is perfect for that video. I enjoyed

[@Danswans]

Best Swans tribute ever

[@dojioji]

I STILL CRY WHEN I WATCH THIS. O HAPPY DAY. 72 YEARS WAS LONG ENOUGH. GREAT VID. MJR TOKYO

s coz cocaine doesnt inhance performance, it makes it ok for ppl to use it for recreation......so what if the swans have only 4 flags, they have been thru a lot in their history, it builds the club's character....ur players out west certainly have done that in the last few years......not that it is encouraged...
