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....

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....

How good were his two big tackles at the end of the thrid qtr...i think

It was good to see his teammates congratulate him on his efforts

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!

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.

:) Proud of the boys today. Nice win even if it was 1 point. Better than a draw or a narrow loss

Finally standing up

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
