Can't describe how this feels as a supporter who has been there at every game through the dark days of the last 4 years (inc 186). Somehow one great win can make up for many shattering losses. Was so

Well done Melbourne, I forgot how good a feeling it is having a big win.

We had the whole team having having a fairdinkum dig.

When you see them sing the song, you can see they are united real raw emotions.

The MONKEYS off the back now , let's go for it.

I am so proud of the guts and determination the whole team displayed tonight. I have seen us win quite a few premierships and this felt like one tonight! I wonder how many of us were thinking with a minute to go that Essendon would kick a point then a goal to beat us by a lousy point. Remember Neale Daniher's last match?

funnily enough bobby tonight was the first time in a long time where i had confidence we would keep the lead.. we just seemed to be controlling the stoppages and dictating ball movement, or the stifling thereof..

was still bloody relieved - and ecstatic - when the siren went

what a win! best since swannies in late 2010 by a country mile

Wanted the kids to stay up and watch with me ,

She who must be obeyed overruled me.

With the fear of making them watch a last gasp defeat I didn't argue.

They'll have to refer the video tape.

Go Demons !

So incredibly happy with that effort tonight, can't stop smiling! I was dancing and singing the song like a madman, even through the carpark. Dragged my parents along (we go to all the home games but they were trying to get out of this one) by the end we were all going nuts! What an incredibly gutsy performance by the whole team.

The best thing is there is still so much improvement in this team and with the confidence from this game you would hope that they will be this dogged, determined and at times bloody brilliant as they were tonight. Man, Jack Watts, Jack Grimes, Jack Trengove all had great games! After all the flack of the past nine weeks I hope every player, coach is as proud of the team as I am and that we can bottle the feeling and keep it going for the rest of the season!

Absolutely stocked. So happy.

But I want to see all Demonlanders stick fat. Whilst Neeld is without doubt the future, it is likely we may have a few more disappointing losses this year - and that doesn't mean we're heading in the wrong direction, just that we're developing.

Love Mr Neeld though. He will win us a flag. Best thing that happened to this club in centuries (ie, even before the game was invented).

Just finished watching the replay screaming at the screen. I cant believe it but I have been to every frigging game except for tonight . Had to go to a wedding secretly happy that I didn't have to go through another agonising game. I went and sat in the toilet listening to the radio then had to excuse myself and sit in the car to listen to the last quarter. What a win. The absolute determination which has been missing for so long. Everyone was throwing themselves at the ball and the man. They found space and run and carry. I loved Beamers new found attitude and his emotional reaction to our goals. Of course the reaction of the whole team at the siren. This is a group of men playing for each other, their coach and their Club. God, I wish I had been there. Otherwise the wedding was nice.

Was so proud of the way we played tonight- our tackling and pressure was ferocious and it was the first time in quite a while that we really played for each other. Absolutely stoked for neeldy he well and truly deserves this. Hope that we can all go out and enjoy the rest of the weekend and celebrate a great win for our club that will hopefully be the turning point for our club! GO DEES!!

My sister-in-law says horse riding is better than sex but neither I nor anyone in my immediate family can sagaciously comment as even though we live on six acres we do not have any horses

sounds like she has put the saddle on backwards then :o

Woke up so bloody happy this morning. Honestly I didn't want to go last night but a elderly friend of mine is a bombers fan so i drove her in. Good God i'm glad I went and did I give it to all the bombers fans who were doing the old Hurley is better then Watts crap before the game. Seriously I was nearly tearing up after the game it was bloody tense at the G and the best feeling was walking out of the G 3 or 4 blokes were standing on some seats when everyone is walking out of gate 5 and they were blasting "It's a grand old flag" at the top of their lungs. Kick ass night.

I watched the game with another tragic Dee's supporter and a few other mates. Was so tense in the last quarter I almost couldn't watch it. But what a euphoric feeling it was.

I could have coped with a close loss and a four quarter effort, but I'll take the win. Bloody brilliant.

Well done Dees!

Winning feels good - very good. The pressure valve has been released and I can relax a bit when i watch the footy. Sex in the morning, gardening before lunch, a kick of the footy with my boys at about 2pm, KFC for tea and then the Dees win. I will sleep tonight.

Even my wife said that sounded like the perfect day!!

Fantastic!

Best part was seeing a lot of loyal Demon supporters screaming when the siren went!

Awesome night well done!

Absolutely - one of the best moments I have had as a supporter following this club.

The lady in front of me turned around and hugged me, high 5s from supporters next to me.

Then my better half and I headed to the bullring bar in the depths of the MCC members and joined the whole bar jumping up and down singing the song non stop!

What an amazing night!!!!!

brilliant game. such a relief.

loved the effort put in by the players at every contest. they were gang tackeling at every contest by the last quarter, everyone put in 110%. now the boys know how much effort it takes to win a game, perfect timing to learn that with queens birthday next week.

It's a grand old flag

For some reason I thought we were due last night. Then upon hearing Neeld’s interview on Triple M before the game I really believed we would win. He was so relaxed and confident – totally different to any other time I have heard him. Sitting in the members and starting the celebration with 7 seconds to go was fantastic.

I had to admit though, when I got back to the car I was back to thinking its only one win and now I want to see another next week. One win does not make up for the previous nine games.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
