When Nico's long bomb went through.

Then wigged out when it wasn't allowed.

Posted

The Sylvia bump (and trashtalk) on Bellchambers before the game.

I just went back to the start and saw that.... Holy snappin' assholes Colin can be a scary bloke when he switches on. That guy probably outweighs Col by about 15 kilos and he came off second best. Col was that kid in school who had hair on his chest at about 14 who you were scared shitless of.

My fist pumpers:

1 vote: Garlands mark on the lead. Nothing like taking a clunker with authority instead of a sneaky snap. Puts thoughts in the opposition's head.

2 votes: The messy play late in the last where they had 2 guys all on their own running onto the ball about 30 from goal, and the demons chased it down about 3 times in a row. They had no right to get it out of there and they did. I remember turning to my essendon fan mate and saying "you know it's not your day when that happens."

3 votes: I thought there was still a minute or two left, but being the first among my mates to see Garland on the screen jumping up and down hugging Neeld, realising moments before the siren that we'd won, and cheering on my own jumping up and down, making a fool of myself. That blissful few moments where in my immediate vicinity I was a genius who knew the result before anyone else.

When we hit the lead in the last, I threw em thru the ceiling,yeeeeeewwwwwww

So many great moments but my favourite was glancing up at the big screen and seeing Neeld and his troops jumping around/embracing. Still gives me goosebumps thinking about it... the raw emotion and realisation that we'd WON.

Will have to watch the replay again, but I think there was a time in either the 3rd or last quarter, when we got a goal that was set up from some great work around the wing. The camera showed a number of Melbourne players getting around that player, as his act meant the team scored. That's the sh!t I want to see.

I also pumped my fist when Neeld threw the headphones off and celebrated, but then had to hold the players back from running on to the ground because the siren hadn't gone!

Can anyone tell me why Garland was on the bench when the siren went? He basically was a match winner, yet he spent the last 2 minutes on the pine??!!

Posted

Two fist pumpers that stood out for me... Jones' banana, of course, and Garlands reaction to his own goal in the last... I've never seen him so animated before.

Posted

3 best moments other than the final siren that had me going were all last ditch tackles

1. When Nicho slipped and got up to make a spoil

2. Tom McDonald first on Alwyn Davey when he was clean through and then late on Zaharakis

3. Watts vs Watson 1 on 1 in the goal square, not many in football would win that battle, let alone a bloke who for 3 years has been slaughtered for his inability to attack and win contest

But the winning moment wa ssurely when Essendon played on from a free kick and Dunn mowed down Dyson, Tappy kicked the ball inside 50 and spotted up Garland. Went mental when that happened


Posted

Two moments that had me jumping out of my seat punching the air were Garland's mark and goal from the goalsquare and when the bombers had 4 players to 2 streaming into their 50 in the last and they fumbled then Sellar smothered and Rivers or McDonald cleared the ball out. Was going nuts cos I was sure the Bombers were going to get a goal there.

my fist pump came at 1:30am after the final siren when i got home, wathched the replay and watched the boys BELT out that theme song

one of the best versions i have ever heard

Watts vs Watson by a mile!

also the dunn chase and tackle which lead to a Garland goal was a highlight!

was glorious sitting amonst those frontrunners in the ponsford!

gave two blokes the biggest send off ever, after them telling me that a 80-100 point loss was coming up before the game,

they got up with 10 or so seconds left then left the ground, i gave them an almighty spray then pointed at the scoreboard!

ahhh it was sweet!

Nicholson's chase, slip, then recovery to smother the kick of his opponent.

Beautiful desperation!

It was, but that tackle shouldn't have been slipped in the first place.

Every time the bombers missed a shot at goal.

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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
