  • Amazing video! Only thing missing is Here It Is!!

  • EPIC video, but seriously, that baby at the end looks like it's gonna kill someone

  • the part with paul kelly looking on at what he came so close to achieving, tears me up everytime.

  • Great clip, anyone who watches will probably realise how much it meant to us supporters to win that flag after countless years of ups and downs (mainly downs) I was there with my dad who is a life long swan, it was equal to being at the birth of my sons, with no exaggeration,Thanks again

  • I've watched this so many times, and cried every single one. I remember as soon as the siren went, I jumped on my dad who's about half my size and almost broke his back on the chair next to me hahaha. He cried with joy straight after the game but I couldn't, the whole thing was just so cereal - I felt mentally drained.

    You know people say it's time to move on, and sometimes we need to - but no one can ever take the pure JOY we experience as soon as we come back to this.

  • 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

  • I have watched this video many times over the last couple of years. To whoever made it, you are amazing. I am a passionate Swans supporter and i still cant bring myself to re-watch the game.

  • 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!

  • Being a lifelong supporter of an underdog with a proud history, I have yet so see a better video to capture what that's like. All the pain and hope, all the snatches of defeat from the jaws of victory. All you want is for it all to have come together in one perfect moment, just once. And that you were there to see it happen.

  • I wish they were in it this year...... I miss Paul Roos

  • Best Grand Final I have ever watched

  • goose bumps every time I watch this!! Amazing video!

  • mate fantastic video, brought a tear to my eye and goosebumps down my neck

  • 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 :)

  • 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 :)

  • 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

  • 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! :)

  • 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!

  • 05, 06 best grand finals ever

  • I just wanted to say this is amazing!! I still remember the day I watched this!! GO THE SWANIES!!!!!! <3333

  • I want roosey back! He knows what to do at the club! Please come back :)

  • JOLLY was crying!!! Now he moved to collingwood ewww I gave no respect for him

  • @Molly4810 as my as i hate collingwood i still rate darren jolly.

  • ah the bloods, dogs, saints. we know the pain

  • Thanks for that ozzmanzz, one of the alltime greatest GFs all the more sweeter being a bloods fan (what a way to end a 72 year drought)

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

  • Awesome stuff. Cheers for the post (wiping my tears now).

  • The Finest and most well cultured team won the greatest game on the planet. GO SWANS THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD PLAYING THE GREATEST GAME IN THE WORLD

    SWANS FAN FOREVER

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • @ozzmanzz Its a great video. Great music too. Have you thought of re-doing it with HD footage though - and re-posting it as a HD 720p or 1080i version? That'd be fantastic - I reckon the AFL would like a look at it at that level...

  • @ozzmanzz We sometimes give them (rightly) a fair bit of grief - but looking bak history will look kindly on the commentary of this game - and especially the final few moments. Really makes the film.

  • One of the best sports videos on youtube period. Captures the pain and longing for deliverance of fans of underdogs everywhere. ping @spavds

  • i LOVE NIC FOSDIKE AND ADAM GOODES!!

  • Best bloody win of all time. Most deserved win of all time!! Well done swanies!! This video made me cry!! Love it. <3 Sydney Swans FOREVER!! BEST TEAM OUT OF ALL THE AFL TEAMS!! :)

  • good on ya swannies.

  • Swannies bloody great win

  • 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

  • look at sampi at 2:11 enough sed.

  • 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!!

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

  • poor Kelly, wish he had won a flag

  • All teary..

  • Fantastic to see this. I have followed the Swans since 1973. When we won I was in the UK listening to it on the radio and I cried for joy when the siren sounded. My dad was at the 1933 GF and would have loved to see them win again after all of those defeats at the Lakeside oval! Go Bloods - do it again soon!

  • I know how this feels. I am a fan of the Boston Red Sox. We waited 86 years before winning the World Series in 2004.

  • I watched the celebrations in Boston on the news never dreaming that it would be our turn the next year.

  • i was at this game and i was 9 years of age and yet now this video has bought a tear to my eye. go BLOODS !!

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

  • A brilliant video, i was there with my five 80yr olds, im in some of the pictures. Brings a tear to my eyes everytime i watch it. Thankyou so much mate. Go Bloods.

  • Ah thats a great video... i love the response of the crowd.., thats what AFL is all about.. love it

  • im a crows fan, but long live the swans, was great to see em win in 05, and i even felt a bit down when thy lost in 06, felt for them getting so close to lose by one point!

  • 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.

  • I think we all have sympathy for your cause. If the Swans arent in it this year I hope it will be the doggies.

  • 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!!

  • 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!

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

  • Oh wow... that was such a moving video.

    I cried watching it,, brought back so many good memories. And I'm most saddened that many of the players that were shown on this video have either retired or been traded to another club...

    GO BLOODS!

  • 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.

  • I was there and cryed with happiness and i am on my computer now crying from happiness

  • i cryied watching this.

  • seriously a song??

  • 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

  • Brilliant - very nicely edited and great music. Love the Swans - lots of great memories but seeing the emotion on Darren Jolly's face right up there. Thanks

  • that just made me cry - go the mighty swannies!!!!

  • what a fantastic video!!

    this really captures the emotion of the day!

    i was there and it was the best moment of my life. it's fantastic to watch the crowd reaction. I think many people fail to realize how much this meant to the supporters, more than any other final in our history!

  • I couldnt agree more. It meant even more to me because that was the last game I saw with my father. very fond memories of that day and probably my favorite Swans moment.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Brilliant

  • brilliant! long live south

  • I will never forget that day.

  • Im in japan now, but was in oz at the time. But still tune in every week to watch the swans. That was a legitimate fairytale. Thankyou!!

  • i was there fuckkkiiinnngg best day ever

  • Freaking AWESOME!!!

  • F#UCK YES! absolutely brilliant!! still sends a shiver down the spine!!!!

  • This is brilliant! Thank you so much for putting this video together. Great memories and joyful tears!

  • i dont go for the swan but still go them,

  • gives me the goosebumps and the tears... GO SWANS

  • gave me goose bumps

  • My dad lived and died and never saw the bloods win a Granny, this moment will remain special to all blood supporters. And to Paul Kelly, the only thing that could have made this any better is if you played. Your the best player to ever grace the field with your presence. ***GO BLOODS***

  • i go back to this video once a month and it never fails to give me a chill. I was at that game with my father and I will cherish that day forever. if i had three wishes i would wish for an obscene amount of money, for good health and for paul kelly to have had a premiership. it breaks my heart seeing him on that video.

  • Agreed, always delivers a chill and occasionally a tear!

  • Autistic Alexander, you really are a good old fashion "DROP KICK". Go the mighty Bloods.

  • 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...

  • the best video on youtube!

    the best mark in AFL history.

    GO THE SWANS!

  • sinead o connor tim kennelly nice one!!

  • best day if my life.

  • God dammit, nearly made me cry.

    I was there, didnt even hear the siren when it went the crowd was so loud from barrys mark.

    Had to feel for paul at the end when they came so close in 96.

    Great vid.

    Blood for life.

  • 96 when I picked swans to be my team to support when where everyone else around me was eagles supporters! GO the BLOODS!!!

  • Very nice. Go the Bloods!

  • Good the mighty swans,

    Eagles will WISH they played for us, but too bad for them

    AcousticAlexander15 u really are a stupid idiot

  • It doesn't matter how many times i watch the match, it still makes me get goosebumps. Lol

    Go Bloods.

  • amazing, brilliant..

    sent shivers down my spine.. we had to wait, but i don't think it would've counted for anyone else as it did for us. 72 years of not achieving potential repaid. kels' emotion just highlighted what we know:

    ss/sm, we're not 2, we're 1.

  • GREAT VID!

  • Great video!!! It's still moving footage 3 years on from that memorable day!!

  • 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

  • Great Vidio!!!!

    A Swan 4 LIFE!!!!

  • That was absolutely awesome.. well done and thanks for the taking me back to that awesome moment in time... GO BLOODS IN 2008!

  • I have followed the Swans for 39 years - so might be just slightly biased - but that is not just the best video on Youtube - it is the best on the whole Internet.

    Well done mate - absolutely brilliant.

  • 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.

  • The hairs on my whole body rose as one, this was a sensational video and one ill cheerish forever, GO BLOODS.
