I have proudly worn 39 on my jumper for last 5 years, hoping Nev would get a good pre season and a settled place in the side and shut up the doubters, mouths slowly closing....

if there was any more proof needed as to Paul Roos genius just look at what hes done with Cameron Pedersen

Absolutely, he gives the players self belief, something they've lacked for years.

Got to love Roosy, he's restored my faith in the club.

Jamar early , Viney wow . Dawes hard . Pederson . Jkh . And my boy Wattsy is learning . Everyone and well done . Roos sensational . I said we would win . Crows are poor on paper imo and we have been building . Roos is the man from a player management angle and game plan / match day .

Condescending commentry on fox / lack of knowledge and at first look the umpiring .3 free kicks end to end . Seriously .

Party time .

He gets a hell of a lot of ball in tight spaces where it's really hard to spot. He's often the first one with hands on it getting a quick short pass out to one of the other mids.

Yer that's what I thought - he doesn't strike me as a hard in kind of player though (obviously not as obvious as a Viney who just plows through like a bulldozer).

Is Dom is good.

Both Howe n Watts redeemed themselves without setting the world on fire! Whilst I would not have been surprised to see either dropped, it's great that Roosy had faith in both lads. Both were involved in pivotal moments I'm the match! JKH and Jet were outstanding, 2 guys I didn't expect to see in our best on. Sensational win boys!

Trying to think of who played badly or didn't do their role today!

Literally go across the team and think.

Frawley obviously struggled with possibly an injury and a gun opponent in Talia. Jones not amazing but stood up when needed. And Watts was hindered. But besides from that I can only think of one player who wasn't playing great footy. And that's Byrnes!

So Demonland blew a fuse after the win!!!

Bloody fantastic.

The boys were on today.

Best game Frank Grimes has played in years.

Dawesy.

Dom Tyson stepped up when it counted.

12 years between wins over there

Drinks are flowing tonight.

We beat those biased umpires!

I almost smashed a $20,000 TV at work today!! It was close...

Go Demons.

Roosy.

PJ will be smiling tonight.

Dawes game highlights... what a tackle

Great highlights, and how about the leadership shown by the big fella when Watts neutralised Dangerfield over the boundary line late in the game. I knew we'd be hard to beat from that point. Passion!

Hope they give Cross a few more years, he is so solid around the ball.

Negatives I guess

- Potential injuries to Jones, Frawley, Georgiou, Jetta (?cramp) and Viney might be penalised for playing football the way it should be played.

Start selling your body BBO, get the funds rolling in.

won't work, he normally pays

Terlich is very very important for us. Dare I say, our hardest player.

Melbourne coach Paul Roos was understandably thrilled by the result.

"I was excited after the game, I love winning and I don't like losing," Roos said.

"I'm really pleased for the players and pleased for the staff and pleased for the footy club because it's been really tough.

"The coach has got to enjoy it as well as the players because obviously there's been a lot of downs…I'm very excited, I thought it was a terrific win."

Come on Paul join us for a few more years.

I am tipping a big crowd next week vs the dogs!

I hope so. It's for a great cause.

That's the type of win that gets membership....was so important.

channel 7's - Footy Central question tonight is: "is Paul Roos' the best coach in the AFL?" - hell yer!

I think the MFC has just won some respect in the AFL.

We made 2 great decisions in getting Roos and PJ. Now they are making good decisions.

Next we need Jason Taylor to make very good decisions.

Sando just had a slip up in his pressor saying "we will work the pretty boys pretty, we will work the boys pretty hard during the break"

LOVE it

Bernie f***ing Vince and Dom f***Tyson!!

Eat a big fat one Damian Barrett!

That muppet hadn't even entered my thoughts until I read your post, DD36.

Seriously mate, let it go. He's just a flogger that should go and eat a big fat one.

Hahahahaha..

No Basil..... We lead at EVERY change. Just suck it up you condescending [censored].

I think Al Clarkson would have something to say about that, but our guy is right up there. We're not easy beats anymore.

We kicked their butt. A bit too hard at the ball for them, me thinks ... Total football - Roos style. Great teamwork all over the ground.

JKH has got a huge upside - no limits for this young bloke. Vince was immense, so many other contributors but Terlich was as cool as a cucumber. Watts was much improved, Pederson stood his ground, Dawes led the forward line, Bail played like he belonged, Viney is as tough as teak.

So many good players and no passengers ... a great team effort. Roos ... the master at work - worth every cent.

the transformation in the midfield has been spectacular - don't underestimate the influence of Stone - almost as important a get as Roosy
