That mark Miller took in the square sent a shiver up my spine! A big forward taking a big mark to win the game! What a weapon!

I thought he played a really important role today..... His leadership qualities are starting to shine through....

I am starting a new thread to discuss the joy of winning a thriller against a Top 8 side.....

Bloody hell I am proud of the boys out there today!

How good was Miller. Absolutely relishing the responsibility of playing as the main man up forward, he was sensational today.

Green was generally brilliant down back as well.

Buckley also a major highlight, and it was excellent to see him work hard both ways.

I thought one of the more positive things to come out of today's win (damn that feels good to say win) was CJ's game!

He may have finally turned the corner..... I remember from speaking to his old man a few seasons back, that he is very much a confidence player and he was worried he wouldn't be good enough to play AFL..... Hopefully he has turned the corner....

I must admit, I was hoping to have a nice honorable loss today as I am really really hoping we get the benefit of coming last. I honestly did not expect us to even come close.

But in the last 10 minutes I was over losing and certainly there were a lot of jumping around like a psycho and screaming.

Jimmy came to sit in the aisle next to us with 10 minutes or so to go, and brought Aussie's dad with him. After Miller's goal, when the ball went down to Brisbane's 50, I looked over at Jimmy and we both had a look of resignation on our face. Typical that we end up losing in the last 30 seconds...

Fast forward a bit and Aussie is running forward and literally the whole stand is yelling "15 seconds, 15 seconds" and jumping up and down.

It's such a small and meaningless victory in the big scheme of things, but games like today's is what football is all about. What a great feeling it was sharing some joy with other equally-miserable Melbourne fans.

Can't wait for the replay on Fox :D

I was proud of the passion and determination. The guys have worked very hard the last month for little return and I really feared they would fall short again but they got the reward they deserved.

These wins are even better with a week off – can enjoy it for 2 weeks – not just 1!

So good to get a win and not be robbed again, as soon as the umpires gifted that free kick to Bradshaw, I thought that was it, so it was great to see the boys put in and get those two goals to win it. It was pure elation when wonna ran from the half-back line at the 35 minute mark, we knew we had the game won. Bloody awesome.

Must say, the umpiring today was absolutely deplorable. Incidentally did anyone think Bradshaws snap in the first or second quarter that was ruled out of bounds was actually a point? Could be a point of controversy!

But who cares, we won and we thoroughly deserved it. Go the mighty Dees!!

I too would have been quite content to go down by 2 goals aftera 4 quarter effort. With about 4 minutes to go after Brisbane had quicked a couple of quick ones to get in front you would almost expect the guys to drop their heads! It wasnt just a great win , it was the way they won it. Shame the membership drive is finished because efforts like this will bring the fence sitters jumping back on the wagon!

It was definitely a point no doubt about it!

What the hell is going on at demonland? I know we're all a bunch of horny teenagers, but....

I was sitting in the third row, looking at the same angle as Wonna when he sprayed that ball and put it out on the full... I thought that was it!

I had NO idea there was another 3 or so minutes left.

Brisbane would not have deserved that victory. Radio comentators saying that errors cost the lions the game BUT we played better footy & PRESSURED them into making those critical errors. We cant seem to earn repsect from anyone.

Decisions by the umpires gifting them a couple of goals would have been criminal if we had lost by less than a goal.

Good experience for the young ones in the side.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
