Youtube clip of the day, Marty Mattner
This is why Marty Mattner, who announced his retirement this week, is admired by the Swans. He is archetypal Swans. He played half-back, ran with the ball when he had the chance, tackled really well and often. In the last two minutes of the 2012 grand final, his chasedown of Grant Birchall stopped Hawthorn from dashing forward and set up Sydney for a chance to kick the matchwinner, delivered by Nick Malceski. Sydney players have spoken a lot since about Mattner’s act.
