my sister was born in 2006 and my dad still says that the eagles winning the grand final was the best thing to happen that year
My son was born that year, and it was close. My son won. :)
Both the 2005 and 2006 Grand Finals were so good.
2006 perhaps. 2005 no.
Who do you barrack 2006 was way better
Both great.
Both were good.
2018 the best Ive seen though.
All the grand finals are great minus any grand finals that eagles lost
The West Coast v Sydney Rivalry was one of the best in the competition. No relation to geography, just 3 years of intense games, including back to back grand finals, all separated by less than a goal.
Agree.
QF 2005 = WC 69-65 Syd
GF 2005 = Syd 58-54 WC
R15 2006 = WC 67-65 Syd
QF 2006 = WC 84-85 Syd
GF 2006 = Syd 84-85 WC
R1 2007 = Syd 73-74 WC
Judd, Cousins, Kerr what a powerful trio
Back when umpires weren't completely hopeless.
They are hopeless today.
@@hihenry8129 i think thats what he's suggesting henry
20:40 Benny was memorable and no one will forget
in my opinion 05 and 06 where the most iconic 2000s grand finals no other grand final gives me that 2000s vibe than those 2
@Soussy 05 still has the vibe a lot more, I honestly don't know what it is but something about it feels very 00s
Judd, Cousins, Kerr and Cox - probably the best midfield of all time.
Swannies did magnificently to win the first one, then come back and nearly grab the second - what a club.
Cox is the separator there. If you went midfield trio you could also do Voss, Black, Akermanis. All Brownlows. Then Lappin is the next behind them who almost won a Brownlow too (like Kerr). Ruck dept is the differentiator.
@M wrong! Swimming is! It is more popular, participated in and is an essential life skill, meaning it is more important than soccer! Swimming training is much harder than soccer with swimmers having to train around five two plus hour sessions a week minimum.
Clearly this isn’t the video for you and if you hate AFL, just don’t watch it. Instead you continue to spam comments that make soccer look bad and make people hate the game even more, making your statement as fake as the diving in soccer. Your little one man crusade against all the other sports is the most pathetic thing I’ve seen on the internet because it only pisses people off instead of making soccer a more popular sport
Time to ban the spammer once and for all, let’s make it happen:

Not to mention the midfield also had Chad Fletcher, who was an All-Australian. You can see his quality watching these highlights.
The most recent grand final with 2 non-Victorian teams.
What about 2016 Bulldogs vs Swans?
@@chesslegend4005 Bulldogs are Victorian...
@@footyecstatics5306 Originally they are but in 2016 they weren’t, and the swans used to be South Melbourne.
@@chesslegend4005 How are they not Victorian? How was 2016 any different to any other year in their existence since 1877 where they originated and based in Footscray?
@@footyecstatics5306 The Swans Were Based in South Melbourne.
First time I've watched this since 2006. Hurts as much as it did then. Thanks AFL!
Daniel Chick's smother and shepherd for the last eagles goal is so underrated
I am going on a footy highlights trip, rewatching the best finals I’ve ever seen, this game is by far one of the best grand finales in afl history.
The scores between Sydney & West coast over the 2 final series 05 & 06 creepy 05 qualifying final eagles win by 4 ,69 - 65 grand final swans win by 4, 58- 54 then in 06 qualifying final swans win by 1 ,85_ 84 and in the grand final eagles win by 1 ,85_ 84 both sides could have lost or won 2 grand finals one all a fair result given the talent on both sides
The happiest day of my life!
Everyone knows this was an amazing granny, but I’d wager those who aren’t Eagles or Swans fans have no idea how terrifying it was to watch this rivalry back then. Going into watching those games, you never felt safe at any point, no better displayed than in this game. A shame the Eagles weren’t able to keep the rivalry going as the decade wore on.
Nah it was obvious to outsiders that it was easily the best and hardest rivalry in those mid '00s years. Really fitting that they won one premiership each it would've been a travesty if either team won both, they were that evenly matched. A couple of other classic battles including a qualifying final were probably even better matches.
Literally went like 7 games in a row with the game being decided by under a goal. Qualifying finals and home-and-away games included in this era.
Thanks Ben.
Thank you, boys.
Post more of these videos AFL!!!
I really do miss the old Channel 10 commentary team - Robert Walls, Anthony Hudson, Malcolm Blight etc…..
Tim Lane, Quarters, Steven Silvagni too. Wasn’t the biggest fan of Michael Christian at the time but he was still much better than today’s commentators.
Yeah. Missed 10s afl coverage. The 10’s afl have revitalised it’s coverage. Sadly 10 no longer have the rights
what a game
What a game
I'm a bomber's fan but this has to be the best grand final I've seen ever on tv.
Good match don’t ya think?
I miss Benny cousins
we all do mate, we all do!
Bring on footy next month
To this day, i still wonder how/If they planned to get Benny Cousins up there holding the cup with Judd alone. 20:38. Because obviously Cuz was the spiritual leader, and the former long time captain.
Yeah for sure it was planned, Worsfold is looking right at someone as soon as he raises the cup and gestures for him to come up first, and the rest of the team waits a few seconds before they jump up. All the photos show Judd and Cousins with the cup, I've never even seen a photo of Judd and Worsfold with the cup. The pics really sum up the difference between Judd and Cousins, with Judd his usual cool, calm and collected self, and Cousins going off as we would expect.
my man Kerr
Yeah boiiii. The Cousin's windmill. 'Iconic' haha
Best grand final ever what a game
IMONSMOKO in my opinion, the best Grand Final ever was the drawn one in 2010.
2012 is better
@@joshlynch6 a game with no winner is always a great one. Smh
14:34 could there be a better goal to start the last quarter of a grand final?
A torp from the centre square?
@@doylersafl8728 nah, I would still say that this beats that
@@Jaydenloa2003 that is honestly one of my favourite grand final moments of all time, but I guess since it was in the first it should be lower? idk. I'm a cats fan so I don't know what to think about it in comparison
2:25 how did Barry Hall miss that?
Karma.
YEET!
2nd best grand final after 2010 draw
2012 > 2006 and 2010 draw
The second best rivalry of the modern era, the games from 2005-2007 were amazing to watch. Especially as a kid, it’s a shame the Swans didn’t win more of them.
Most of the Swans Eagles games from that era were boring as batshit, Grand Finals included
@@mabiorcholappreciationpage fkn 🤡
@@xSnappa I'm just telling it as it is mate. Swans played the most mind numbingly boring footy in the mid 2000s, and the Eagles played into it every time
it was dumb to face the end part with swans fans in backround
2nd Best granny ever behind 1970
I can think of many way better Grand Finals than the twin shitfests of 2005 and 2006
@@mabiorcholappreciationpage like?
@@mabiorcholappreciationpage I understand if you don't like 2005 but 2006 was great! nothing wrong with it at all, one of the best of the 00s easily.
Eagles always put on epic Grand Finals
Like the 2015 Grand Final where they lost by 46 points?

Hi
I know Andrew embelys son
2006 grandfinal better than the 2010 draw
sydney handed the GF to west coast on a sliver platter barry hall kicked 0 goals 3 behinds only for his club go down by 1 point
No one but swans supporters will ever understand the elation experienced when our cheap “nobody” team won the 2005 granny, and the devastation that precipitated the following year. The 2006 granny kills me. I lived in a time warp for years believing the entire year never actually happened. Obviously still not over it. 2005 the greatest gf ever. 2006 the most devastating. Aside from 2010 for the saints.
Haha and for us eagles supporters its the other way around.... 2005 was the most devastating for us and 2006 was the greatest. Although, I think the 2018 one may have pipped 2006 for us eagles supporters now. Nothing better than seeing Collingwood heartbreak!!
2005 is so far from being the greatest grand final ever that it isn't funny. That game was on a 2013 Grand Final level of boring
@@mabiorcholappreciationpage just like the 2019 granny then?
For me 2018 is better than 2006, but not by much
The composure of the eagles that day was elite of elite.
