Nick -the 300th Celebration

Post: # 1602581Post saintbrat »

Nick’s unrelenting desire to succeed was never more evident than that magnificent mark he took against Sydney at the SCG. Running the wrong way for nearly 40 metres he launched himself at the pack which included Milney who must have thought he was crazy.

I’m still baffled how it was not adjudged mark of the year and in fact mark of the decade. Top me it not only personified Nick Riewoldt but it captured the very essence of our great game. The athleticism, the skill, the courage and fearlessness against insurmountable obstacles but also in an artistic way the glamour, the balance, the poetry in motion and the breathtaking spectacle.

I will never ever forget that mark and I will never ever forget the mark Sunshine made on me, Saints fans and all AFL followers.

Courageous indeed. I remember it too. The commentery guys were going berserk after having witnessed it. It said a lot about what was to come for Rooey & St. Kilda. Hope Rooey enjoys this season and the young guys continue to get some invaluable time with him on the field. :D

Thanks Bratty........ that was a good read. I liked reading GT's first impressions of Rooey......... as he says he was way off the mark.

Yes he is, by most anyway.

I see that Port supporters showed that they are all class by booing Roo throughout the match with the biggest boos saved for when he kicked his 650th goal late in the match.

How good is this video!
There is one floating around with Coldplay 'A sky full of stars' music underneath but I understand the club can't put this on website due to music rights.
Superb stuff.
