Loved the roosy fist pump at the end. Will be a happy flight home.

Good question. He looked as weak as [censored] today.

That opportunity he had at goal in the third qrt I think he should have kept running and drawn the opposition player from Dawes and hand balled it over to him to kick the easy goal.

Instead he had a shot from 35 odd meters out and missed.

Was not on his game tonight but hey we still WON.

[Mozzie Bear 23]

What a great win. I'm so excited at the changes I see in the team and the way they are playing. Every week just a little bit better. Good on you boys. The song was song loud and clear in this household tonight.

[DemonOX 8,837]

Jamar has been ridiculed on this site from a number of posters lately.

Time to give him his dues he was good tonight and looked strong.

Also liked that mark and goal he kicked too.

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,297]

A toast to Jonesy as well. For whatever reason he just couldn't get his hands on it, so he responds by laying the most tackles on the ground and kicking a crucial goal.

At half time they showed footage of him pre match and he looked sore , maybe tightness in his hammy or possibly buttock, also went down to the rooms on his own before the match. We are lucky he saw the game out I reckon!

I agree Song "This feller" is a genuine A grade midfielder. He gets FA recognition because he plays for Melbourne yet he is in the top echelon of mids!!

[CityDee 738]

They showed Chip walking from behind and he is out of wack - back or something . He needs not to go to ground when tackling .he worked hard .

[old dee 24,011]

I don't want to go too early on this but - we're back! Pigs can fly Melbourne can win interstate. Anything is possible.

Now Reverend I think you may have had a wee dram to much.

Cork back in the single malt.

However IMHO there is nothing like beating the crows in Adelaide.

Jones doesn't pass in the 50 arc

He is good but pisses off a lot of players

Can't see him being dropped in the next five years though .

Saw that, which makes his effort more admirable. He's a ripper.

One game out of the 8 atm and we should have beaten gws saints and gc.

Is it possible we are much better than we realise?

Lets not get ahead of ourselves a Gutsy win by our Finger tips . I dont want to rain on the parade but still plenty of bad habits to get rid of

After last weeks Game I said the positive was we no longer capitulate.

Today's game proved that in Spades !

For now I am happy and ecstatic about the win and we all should be so . Lets just hope there are more before seasons end and I will dine out on each and everyone of them . But for now the change is happening lets enjoy the ride both the ups and downs in the knowledge that maybe we have finally turned the corner and seasons need no longer be like having teeth drawn!

Agreed. There was a looooooong period in that match where we simply couldn't buy a goal and it took a pretty soft free to Dawesy to break the drought.

There is still a mountain of work ahead but these are very positive steps in the right direction in terms of structure and effort.

Friggin amazing. Made my night. Time to party!!!

It's Mitch Clark tweeting "It's a Grand Old Flag"

Thought it was noteworthy.

Do we have to start the negatives? Every supporter knows where we are at, but we can celebrate a win, all I care about tonight was we didn't wilt, we got in front and stayed there, it's a great start...and the players know for it to happen again they just have to reproduce

If Jones kicked the captains goal then Grimes made the captains spoil. Very nice work by our skippers.

Great win and great team performance by players and coaches.
