YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!

[Maybe next year 170]

I think any thoughts of a player rift with the coach was put to bed based on the reaction of Garland and McKenzie on the bench when we won. Would have been nice to see Neeld in the middle of the huddle. I did not see Sellar in the middle being washed with powerade. Did anyone else?

[Hardnut 327]

At halftime, the TV commentary referred to a change in Neeld's game plan - players playing naturally - I didn't hear all of the comments - can anyone please expand on these comments? (I did, of course, see the play, but screen vision is limited.)

For the first time, I saw the players playing like natural footballers and thankfully not trying to follow a complicated plan, and surprise, surprise, it resulted in a win, albeit ugly football!

950 - 1 for the flag. All aboard!!

[McQueen 17,867]

Who cried?

Go on, fess up...

I did.

[olgreydingo 51]

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEEEAAAHHHHH!!!

only 5 games and % out of the 8

HA HA!

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

AS much as I hate the Pies and Carlton, ever since the 2000 Grand Final I HATE Essendon. That felt really good tonight. Skillful? - not particularly. Great forward spread? - ummm no. But great gut-wrenching, hard at it, never-give up, mongrel footy and the free flowing Essendon crumbled.

[Ned 156]

Incredible. So happy.

[Striker475 696]

Can't believe I didn't go!

[Chook 15,022]

Fair to say I'm pretty happy about that win. Garland's junior coaches obviously were on to something when they played him forward as a junior.

[hardtack 10,704]

Hope I'm not getting ahead of myself, but I'm now really looking forward to next weeks game against the Pies...Neeld will know exactly what is needed to get over the top of them.

[stuie 7,374]

I'm guessing someone from 'Land told Neeld about our want for Garlz to go forward at one of those supporter meetings

[Keepin up with the Joneses 48]

What's all the fuss, it's only Essendon......

And Carlton Lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Footynut 302]

I can't believe this! This ones as sweet as ever and thanks especially to those believers Jackie and Harfnut!

Bombers are our bunnies again!

Did I say hardnut or halfnut haha oh well

[Flemo56 409]

And we will b off the bottom. Yes SS, Rivers definitely bog for me, a great effort by all who really stuck at it all game.

[stuie 7,374]

I love everybody!

Good to see you on the bandwagon HN. Welcome aboard.

Nah, nothing different about Neeld's approach. Just hard, contested, disciplined footy using the same game plan over 4 quarters.

Mark Neeld. Get around 'im!

[Bad Demon Pun 15]

Never choose women over football, oh why was I not at this game..................... #$%#%#$#$#$#$%%$#%**

[Demonland 73,266]

950 - 1 for the flag. All aboard!!

So we're still a mathematical possibility?

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

I love football again

[Diablo Deemon 220]

Who cried?

Go on, fess up...

I did.

Yep like a little girl

Well done boys I love this team.

[BangkokDemon 96]

All of you who bag Neeld - shove that up where it fits.

He's the future of this club.

Thank you Mark. And bloody good onya!

As they showed the CarscumPort who rt who game on Australia network I had to rely on Matt Bergin on Twitter (did a greta job as usual way ahead of the afl automated scoreboard) I could not see this defining moment in our club's future.

Just the same it sure feels good. And all those who dpubted where Mark Neeld and DonMclardy and the rest are taking us should now get on the money and believe in what these guys are doing.

GO DEES!!!!

[The heart beats true 18,178]

Enjoy the win boys, and all the Demonland folks. I gotta say I've been critical of Neeld but he did a great job tonight. I was so happy for him at the siren because you began to understand the pressure he was under. Good to see Don give him a big hug in the rooms too.

Grimesy was a real leader in that last quarter. Watts was good. Col Garland up forward was inspired. Beamer and Sylvia tried really hard without a lot of reward.

Best of all we played like a team.

That song of ours is alright isn't it? ;-)

[Footynut 302]

Bombers are our bunnies!

Looking forward to next week.

Don't expect to hear much from the trolls this week Jackie and Hardnut etc etc!

Thats a great thing!

I'm.goin to buy the paper tomorrow and enjoy my eggs.

Suck thT right up media and all the haters!

This is one for the believers!

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Who cried?

Go on, fess up...

I did.

I did. Sad but true.

Relief probably more than anything.

Felt like vomiting for most of the last quarter. Nearly lost my [censored] when they called touched on the goal line.

Who cares why or how we won right now. All that matters is that finally we have experienced some success. Regardless of how minor!

[DeeTeez 19]

now we just need to keep a lid on it.
