This would have to be up there with the best wins in 10 yrs or more. In the face of adversity, with a team of no names, we smacked the smugness off all those cocky Bomber fans and their million dollar coaching staff. How sweet it is!! Very proud!

I guess this thread, if nothing else, debunks the myth about Dees supporters always being up at the snow instead of attending games. It's obvious we are all globetrotting... Kenya, Thailand, UK, France, Virgin Islands...

And I'm a semi-Canberran... out-posted in Sydney, so I have to make regular trips to Canberra for my work.

For all my fellow dees os or interstate, was a great atmosphere at the game. Dees supporters were loud, proud and (at the end) kinda arrogant. I loved it. Very young but very talented side. We will have some more yo yo performances, no doubt. But there is a bit of steel with these young guys to match the talent. And our supporters have a bit of spring in their step. If we can keep improving, keep mving forward, who knows where this group will ultimately take us. But for now, yessssssssss u beauty.

Never like it when the winning team waves off the other supporters but gee I loved it tonight when the Bummers were all leaving early and the Dee fans were waving as one.

I hate the Bummers so much. Woo hoo.

Oh and Sean Wellman - you picked the wrong side ha ha ha

WADDA WE SING ! :lol:;)

Gotta love sticking it to the the Bombers .

Takes abit more wind out've Hirds sails .

The fact that it was those smug pricks just makes it that much sweeter. That club is just smarmy from the coach to the admin to their fans. Take that, Britneys.

Agree.

Victory never tasted so sweet. Knocking off these pricks is more satisfying than beating Collingwood. Well to me it is anyway.

I'm hoarse from screaming at the game. HELL YES

I sounded like Caroline Wilson after the game, trust me.

I´ll add to the international flavour of this thread. Woke up in Bucaramanga, Colombia to tune into ABC online and find the dees crusing to victory in the last quarter. Been reading all the articles and and threads on here since. Hope we can maintain this kind of effort for the rest of the year.

my throat is sooo sore from yelling at the game. I was behind the goals in the essendon cheer section...I was one of the only dees! Those idiots behind me constantly chanting rehearsed bits like soccer fans through out the whole game. stuck it right up 'em though!!! GREAT STUFF DEE's!!!

Posted

I watched it at an Aussie pub in Clapham, London.... predominantly smug Essendon crowd who were just delightfully shell-shocked at the result.

LOVE BEATING THE BOMBERS!... more than any other team.

Jordie Mckenzie's intensity noticeably stood out...

I think Howe might be my new favourite player...

...and I personally raised the roof when Beamer kicked that long goal in the last minute....

Cracking win.... chew on that one bombers! I still count 8 out of our best 22 players not there.... who cares about next week... I'm reading every damn article I can find about this win and savouring every word!

just walked in the door from last nights game, stuff going to sleep straight to demonland!!!

You bloody bauety!!

Wanted to have a night like that, still buzzing at work (and rubbing my Dons-loving manager's nose in it!)

Wash your mouth out!

It was immensely satisfying to wipe that smug smile off Hird's face.

The joy of Bailey and the team on the siren was palpable and even brought a tear or two to my eyes.

Ahh the joy of victory.. makes the pain of last week seem but a memory however I wonder had we not had all that criticism last week would we have got up for that performance? One would hope so but you just never know which Melbourne will turn up..

Posted

please call us soft every week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your right! But this wasn't driven by the players. It was driven by the supporters who were Incensed out of our Apathy! It's not the coach, or coaches down through the Generations that makes us lose.

It's our kindness, and Nice meaning well to do attitude that softens our players. see comfort zone.

Anger X Fear = Effort & Intensity!

Watched it and taped it up here in Canberra.

Went last week to that awful thing - came down on the wrong weekend...

But I'll be down for QB of course.

Can I just say - never saw Hird do/say anything when the cameras panned to him...

Does he have Thompson, Wellman, and co. in a different box actually coaching the team or something?

Bad luck - the Carlton game was pretty ordinary. Hopefully you're not a jinx :P

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
