The 2006 AFL Grand Final

“Who would’ve thought that the sequel would be just as good as the original?” One year and one week after Leo Barry’s match-saving mark saw the Sydney Swans triumph over the West Coast Eagles on the last Saturday in September 2005, the two sides met again on the hallowed MCG turf.  Facing off in back-to-back AFL Grand Finals, it was always going to be a tight contest. But as commentator and At the ‘G host Anthony Hudson summed up – nobody could have predicted just how close it would be.   In this episode of At the ‘G – part two of a look back at the storied Sydney-West Coast rivalry of 2005 and 2006 – Huddo catches up with the day’s big players: Coaches John Worsfold and Paul Roos; Eagles Chris Judd, Dean Cox, Michael Braun and Steven Armstrong; Swans Michael O’Loughlin, Leo Barry and Brett Kirk and boundary rider Tim Gossage.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
