All I wanted this year was to beat Carlton.

Thank you Melbourne for restoring my love and faith in you.

Go Dees!!!

The fact Nathan Jones went head to head with media love child Marc Murphy and destroyed him brings a tear to my eye.

Jake the Snake gave Wanock a bath (surely he is bordering on worst player in the comp).

Chris Dawes provided so much structure, direction and assistance.

Well done.

Suddenly everything is exciting again

There is some actual hope, not false hope

And still Jesse Hogan to unleash

GO DEMONS

[Dee Since 73 267]

Hope is a wonderful thing.

[Demon Stalwart 255]

What can one say except

We WON , and thats all that matters!!

The fact it was over Carlton is just the Icing on the Cake

Go DEES

[Schneider 220]

Maybe Spencer getting schooled by Mumford was a good thing, he looked well on top today... or was Warnock just hopeless?

[inanunda 349]

I actually did cartwheels through the house when the siren went! Then I cemented the victory forever here!

Go Dees!

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Just looked at the stats. Chris Dawes must have played the best 8 disposal game I have seen. Provided a consistent target, was never out marked, always bought the ball down front and centre at worst. We looked so much better with him there, not to mention Chip had a bit more freedom to have a blinder.

No matter how much pain I suffer.

No matter the humiliations.

No matter how many $$$'s.

No matter how many times I look at the sky and ask why.

Days like today make it all worth it.

Viney, Dawes, Kent are only going to get better as they play more footy together.

Kent reminds me of Wines and Swan - low centre of gravity and relentless attack on the ball.

[Alf Stewart 73]

YOU FLAMIN BEAUTY!

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

A big crowd gathered around the bar in the Olympic stand to watch the boys sing the song without any volume! The cheer that went up when they finished was awesome! My faith in footy is restored!!

[Pirlo 813]

Congratulations to us all lads and ladies, well deserved!

[Deemotivated 550]

Tipped it and won $100 and a carton of coronas from blues supporters.

Thanks boys.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

I talked my manager out of dropping $50 on us to win.

I may not have a job on Monday...

I'm going to IQ that game and after each loss go home watch it and be happy with life again!

[on the outer 19]

Long time between drinks.....Geez this feels good

[titan_uranus 24,975]

Amazing feeling.

Winning against anyone is great. But beating Carlton, and Malthouse, is just another level. Malthouse clearly dropped Waite and Garlett because he thought this was the week he could get away with it - EAD Mick.

And as for us - we weren't great, but we were a lot better, and there is a future there to be seen.

JKH has silken hands, his touch is superb. Dawes changes everything for us, thought he was grand. Cross was outstanding too.

We took a big step forward today. And we took it right on Carlton's head. Perfect.

[3Dee 1,153]

... and that's why Bail is in the team! M. Jones best game in the red & blue too.

Dawes sinking 'em from outside 50, Spencer after a dismal start turning it around, Frawley and his 100 marks, Cross, Vinces crafty kick coming off HBF, JKH run down tackle in first quarter, Howes reversie into the pack, Viney, even Pedo's late pocket goal.. onya fellas!

[KingDingAling 3,752]

It is a great feeling.

Hopefully a few more wins, I get the young bloke back on board.

[DeezMan 4]

Our first win against Carlton since The Kreuzer Cup, 2007. Would love to know the average losing margin in that time too. They're bad, but we really should enjoy this.

53 points.

Massive effort by the lads today to get the W.

[Pates 9,660]

So all those people saying we wouldn't win a game this year will be feelin like muppets right now (and rightfully so). Dawes was so important today, but it's funny it's not totally reflected in the stats. The two goals he kicked were absolute team lifters and he played a part in several other goals. But the big thing was all of a sudden the players moved it quickly to a target and although he didn't take the grab every time he made sure it came to ground almost every time and in fact his mere presence caused the blues players concerns.

A good team effort today well rewarded.

Agreed. He made such an enormous difference. We looked up and saw him and we had the confidence to put it in front of him. He had the guts and determination to make a contest even when he was double manned.

His two goals were immense from outside 50. Absolutely immense.

Finally a 4am wake up to watch over here in the UK that was worth it, Go Deesrlton forum must be in meltdown.

How can you watch it there Mr S

I arks because I have a daughter living in Wales

[Deemotivated 550]

We didn't over posses it today, we missed a few sitters and gave away a couple of easy goals so I'm really happy with carlton never actually being in the game.

I hope Mitch Clark watched on and had a smile seeing his mates get a win.

And for Hannibal..

No Jordie, no Melbourne.
