NAB Challenge 1 - Richmond v Melbourne

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,593]

Hello no - Vince had a 90% kicking efficiency. Name another dee that has had that in recent times!

Jay Kennedy Harris - your going on my list of favourite players. What an exciting young kid.

[KingDingAling 3,752]

Anyone still prefer Sylvia over Vince?

Not sure anyone ever preferred Sylvia over Vince.

Bernie pretty well received on the land.

Lord Roos has delivered his first sermon for the faithful...

Gee trenners was good tonight. Really enjoyed his game and I reckon he will have a great year

ANyone know who you call if you've had an erection for longer than 3 hours?

I'm a happy person right now. Didn't expect a win but how wonderful is it - feels like we just won a premiership. Ok, the season hasn't stared yet but there is hope. What a difference the new boys made especially Bernie Vince and the young lads. I think I will go and have a good cry now while I sing the song again. Thank you Paul Roos for giving the boys their spirit back.

Watched Vince play SANFL when he got dropped from Adelaide for getting on the turps.

Racked up nearly 50 possies and embarrassed the Crows for even dropping him, the guy has immense talent.

I've backed him twice for the brownlow at odds in the past 5 years. Pretty big fan of 'The Difference'.

[Still Waiting 94]

Happy to admit I was way out with my prediction tonight. So happy to finally see a coaches' message get through to this young bunch of talented kids. Congrats to you Roosey. Vince, Jonesy and co............... great work rate guys.

Do these games go up on the AFL Website tomorrow?

After the fact.

Anyone calling for Sylvia to be traded in the past were shouted down by the masses here

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Put a lid on a people, we win and I'm shouting shots at the bar but wait til' round 1.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

For me the highlight was there was no standout player and that the whole team looked to play within their limitations.

Great effort by the boys given so many outs.

No injuries is also a major plus.

Looking forward to next game!

just had a text from mad tiger brother , in a word stunned

My thoughts on tonight's game with a plug for Demonland!

Yeah, before we essentially got Vince in return... Since we offloaded Sylvia, received compo, offloaded that for Vince - I think nearly everyone in Demonland was all for that.

I haven't heard many people say we would've been better off with Sylvia - and that was even before tonight, since we have got Vince, he has been a favorite around D'land, nearly at JKH levels.

Normal day at the orifice.

It's not about the win for me, it's just the sheer relief of the fact that we played like a footy side. Every other club's supporters are going to think we're carrying on as if we've won the flag, but fuck 'em, none of them have been through what we have. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel is an awesome feeling.

[jabberwocky 2,301]

Indeed.

But it is nice to see a game structure, see us keep possession of the football and operate with a functioning midfield.

Keep a lid on it by all means... but there are some excellent signs.

We still need to be able to cope with the increased physicality, speed and pressure of the real stuff.

Good write up.

Nice call on Terlich, sounds familiar

[Ouch! 2,258]

Toumpas had a quiet night, but how much better will it be for him and Viney to play in a midfield where they have the support of Cross, Tyson, Vince, Jones and a fit Trengove. Not to mention players like McKenzie, Evans and Matt Jones rotating through.

It could be interesting to see how people rate Toumpas and Viney against Wines at the end of the year with a more balanced mindfield supporting their development. (Not trying to say Wines isn't going to be a good player,... but the comparisons last year were a little off)

[Bitter but optimistic 22,220]

Agree with gnasher - we looked like a footy team. One of those things that other supporters have been following for years.

[inanunda 350]

I wholeheartedly agree. We just looked like a team which was TOTES AMAZEBALLS!

We actually kept possession of the football. Opposition supporters mightn't understand, but the sheer fact we held possession is like winning a flag.

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but it was good to be able to watch a structured and somewhat disciplined side.
