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....

Oh yeah. I was jumping around like a jackrabbit, only two minutes after moping around like oscar the grouch. Amazing stuff.

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.

BLOODY BRILLIANT :)

Oh nothing better beating the lions as i am in brisbane./....

Bailey is a mastermind!!!!!!!

Only one more thing to do really.....when we win.........we all gotta do the Van Dam dance ....:):)

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....

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

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

it feels that freakin good i might go to the clubs tonight and root a random chick and unleash my excitment on her.

 

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!

Last time I felt this good was after I tag-teamed the Veronicas. Them girls are freaks. Sorry Dean Geyer but your the only virgin there>

ah yes forgot about the week off. no doubt the boys will be having a few very quiet beers tonight!

Let's hope we don't read about it in the papers tomorrow :rolleyes:

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.

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!
:wub:

Its been a tough year but damn that was good. Well done "Captain Greeny" with special mentions to Bruce, PJ, Miller and Sylvia (yes Sylvia finally!)

whaaaaaaaat! :lol:

 

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

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
