Magic moment from Nick Malceski was a dream that became reality for the Sydney Swans Sydney forward Nick Malceski kicks the winning goal in last year's AFL Grand Final. Pictures: George Salpigtidis THIRTY-FOUR seconds left in the grand final. The Swans lead the Hawks by four points. Enter Nick Malceski. This picture captures the moment the Sydney defender sealed a famous victory with a goal. The players and coach tell NEIL CORDY their side of the story. Kieren Jack: I was just thinking please go through, please go through and it was just hanging in the air for a long time. The wind sort of picked it up and carried it. My first thought was it wasn't going to make it because it was going that high. Then as the wind took it through we carried on a bit. I started chasing Mal, but I was too stuffed and couldn't catch him. It was the roar of the crowd, they went ballistic and we jumped on board with them. We knew there wasn't long to go, but they had to kick two goals to win. It was pretty special. Dan Hannebery: It was awesome. All I remember was Mal (Nick Malceski) yelling out "roll, roll, roll" and I gave it to him and then next minute the ball was about to be bounced and me and Mal were still in the middle of the ground crying like little girls and then next minute we had won the premiership. Ryan O'Keefe: I saw Mal get the ball and wind up with his left boot. I had to get out of the way otherwise my head was going to get taken off. Everyone was celebrating and I remember bolting down calling everyone to get behind the ball and then I looked in the centre circle and realised there were only two blokes in there, so I had to run back up. Nick Malceski: Rhyce Shaw called me to the ball-up and I picked up Hawthorn's Grant Birchall. I was at the back of the stoppage, the ball was bobbling around a bit and then Hanners (Dan Hannebery) fed it out to me. I knew I was pretty close to everyone, so I had to get some elevation on the kick. If I kicked it shallow it would have been touched easily and if Pebbs (Ryan O'Keefe) didn't duck it would have hit him in the head. Lucky he ducked. It was just one of those moments when I was in the right spot at the right time. It was an unbelievable experience and I couldn't ask for anything better. Lucky that Hanners gave me the handball. He looked like he actually wanted to have a shot if you look at the vision, but I was squealing at him and he fed it out to me and I swung it on the boot and it went through and I celebrated a little bit. Adam Goodes: It was the height of the kick that was amazing. I was just hoping it went through. A point would have been the worst scenario because our lead would have only been five points and they would have had possession and a chance to score a goal and win. The goal umpire didn't move. Josh Kennedy: It was just that feeling of relief more than anything that everything you've done, starting from November or starting from when you were five years old kicking the football around, that it has all counted for something. Josh Gibson: I was just making sure we had good balance around the stoppage. I knew it was getting towards the end of the game and we had to get the ball forward. When the goal went through we knew we were running out of time especially when we saw the way they celebrated. I can't even remember how he got the ball but I wish he didn't. John Longmire: Someone in the box said "we've got it" and I looked at the clock and there was still 35 seconds to go and I didn't think we had it at that point, there was still a fair bit of time to go. It was a fantastic feeling to be able to experience it immediately with your staff, but then to run down the stairs and get on to the MCG and share it with your players -- there is nothing like it. It's what motivates everyone, I guess, to win grand finals -- a great feeling, to run out on to the ground with the players that played, to realise all the work they put in and to see the elation on their faces is truly a wonderful feeling.
