Swans room after match

[Silent Bob]

Was lucky enough to be at the G to watch the nail biter. Even luckier to get down into the swans rooms about an hour after the match. A nicer bunch of blokes you couldn't meet. No arrogance or aloofness at all amongst them. Most just had a very relieved look about them. They were very humble and happily went about signing records and talking to supporters. I managed to have a brief word with a couple of them whilst getting some autographs for my nephew. Craig Bolton was particularly impressive, I listened in while he was doing a media interview and he spoke and presented very well. When I got to speak to him, I asked him about leaving the Lions. He felt that the win had vindicated his decision to seek opportunities elsewhere. Jarrod Crouch and Brett Kirk were humble and soft spoken, very relieved to have won and put it down to 22 committed players. Best of all, while getting Nick Davis' autograph, I said to him "stuff the pies eh". No answer - just a big grin. All in all a fantastic experience.

I love Sam Newman's comment on the footy show, or words to the effect;

"I hope Swans win, with Paul Williams & Nick Davies to hold premeirship medals & stick it up Collingwood !"... hahaha yah gotta luv it.

What a special experience SB. I've never even been to a grand final let alone into the rooms. I hope I get to experience one, any teams really, before I go to watch with Jack from above.

I think the Swans were very humble and restrained in their speeches and celebrations. No cockiness at all, just genuine pleasure.

Good on them.

I bet that's something you won't forget in a hurry SB .

i've been to one grand final 1993. and that game turned out to be a farce. but the worst part of that game is that i felt there was no real atmosphere because the ground wasn't full of the traditional supporters of both teams. i decided from that day i won't go to another grand final unless richmond was involved... assuming i can get a ticket of course
