Tom Boyd

Just on that, have 100,000 people ever watched a ball bounce, and will it to go over the line (or the other way) as much as this one time? It seemed to take an eternity! And i thought it was gonna bounce back.

I was behind the goals that end, on the next level up from the cheer squad and everyone stood up. That shot was not long after JJ's disallowed goal and I thought please not another one that is not a goal.

Not for a second. This was kismet and I knew it was going through.

I was at the opposite end in the forward pocket, ground level. I was lucky, from my view point it looked like it bounced through no problems so I was going nuts before anyone. That was the best feeling.

I was on the wing on the bottom level so had a side profile. My immediate thoughts were it had pulled up a bit and I was worried, but there was a lot of force behind the kick and my apprehension turned to elation very quickly. Seeing that stand erupt from ground level was a site that will stay with me forever.

I felt Channel 7 stuffed up with that piece of play. Watching the replay they didn't really get the full picture of Tom's big kick. The camera was still on Buddy and Morris, when Boyd pounced and went for it.

You just have been near us because that's the vantage we had too.

I will never forget that breath we all took as the ball stood on its end trying to make up it's mind whether it was going to go through or not. When it did it go through for a goal was the second greatest moment of my life.

Directly behind the birth of your child yeah rather than the final siren?

It's a toss up for me, nah I'll take the final siren (my son would want it that way).

I would've been just above you BAD (Level 2A) and the ball did seem to bounce right up, which delayed celebrations. Once we realised it was a goal, my brother almost broke my sunnies hanging from my t-shirt with a bear hug from behind as I sorta stumbled across him.

The roar of his point a minute later just before the ball went past the post was also damn loud. If that had gone in....

I was already on the hugging strangers trip as soon as the ball landed in the square.

[MrMahatma]

I was on level 2, just centre side of the 50 meter line the end that goal was kicked to. Decent spot.... and I can't hardly remember a thing.

I was a total nervous wreck most of the game and was sitting amongst a bunch of, largely Sydney supporting, corporates.

Still hugged them though.

[ratsmac]

I too was right behind the goals in the top level at the front. When the ball sat up a bit I think everyone in my area held their breath. When it was through it was mayhem. I wish I could go back in time and live that moment again.

Nah. Final siren I'm afraid. I've really struggled with this and while I won't ever feel that feeling of total love I felt when I first held my kids, the pure adrenaline fuelled excitement and complete euphoria from when the kid in front of us said there was 98 seconds left and we realised we were ICING THE CLOCK IN A GRAND FINAL!!! and putting the full stop on the greatest month of football any of us will ever see until after the presentations was better.

That was insane.

How apt would it be if JMac pulled out a big, audacious move on Tom Boyd day.
