Bloody. Umpires. Even after a win I' m fuming. It's not the one's they pay it's the blatant ones that never ever go our way. I can't believe how few of our tackles which stuck beautifully on guys with prior opportunity and fail to dispose of the ball in a legal timely manner get paid. Would love to sit down and watch the game with the entire umpiring panel to be informed why things are paid and why they're not - just infuriating

Having said that and with everything going against us - just enormous all round. Pedo, Howe, watts, Viney, Tyson, jamar, Chunk - huge games. Cross, Vince, Gawn, Dawes great stuff cameo's everywhere -Bail, m jones, toump, Salem, Jkh, all went when it was their turn.

Enjoy a few beers tonight boys and a few days off, then get your [censored] back together quickly as the second half of the season has just been set up. 1 game out of the 8 it is possible for the fairy tale run

Tyson what is his current contract status .Interesting stats for Season so far Kicks 109 Hb103 M 56 7Goals tackles 22 versus someone who left to play finals clean slate so far still if he had stayed what would Roos have made off him

Apparently, Tyson is ranked #1 in getting a possession per minutes in a game?

Did I hear that right?

1 game out of the 8 it is possible for the fairy tale run

Speaking of which.... I can never get the bloody ladder to load in the AFL app. Anyone else have this problem?

Its a strange feeling - actually being able to trust that your team will be competitive in games and ... may even have a chance to win... What's it been? 4-5 years?

Great win !!! Tyson is a champ and pedo is playing well love it

Umpiring was terrible though ! !

Why do you say that? I thought it was good and one of the more free flowing games I have seen of recent times.

How was Pigdog's first outing?

Looked good at VFL level, was wondering if he was up to AFL level before being subbed.

He was bloody good, went hard and looked like he belonged.

Kicked an important goal too

Was only subbed for conditioning reasons youd think, since he was playing well

Due to daddy duties I havent seen a minute of the game so I wont read the posts here yet until i watch the replay tonight.

Saw the score and all I can say is:

1. what medication works the opposite to Viagra?

and

2. paul-roos_melbourne.jpg

1. Alcohol in copious amounts

2. Paul roos - just love the way PJ fought hard to get him, best decision for the club in years... his persistence reminds of NJs attack on the pill.. both sensational!!

There is no way Roos can turn his back on this after 2 years!

Just read on theage website that if St Kilda lose tomorrow, we will be out of the bottom four for just the second time in 54 rounds.

Go Gold Coast!

Jamar was also excellent, I thought. Getting his tap back, not tapping it to his own boots.

can you watch the replay anywhere? i had to listen to the game on radio and i wanna watch it!

god it feels good to be on the winning side of the ledger.

i understand why jones will get the votes, but watts was bog for mine. 19 disposals, 11 marks, 3 goals straight, 4 tackles. the game-changer.

14th!!!

will be playing the 12" and do the Demon Dance tonight !

He was bloody good, went hard and looked like he belonged.

Thanks hh was hoping he could bring the same intensity to AFL, really liked his work at Casey.

Jamar was also excellent, I thought. Getting his tap back, not tapping it to his own boots.

MMM said he had 30 hit outs with 12 to advantage. That's good numbers.

but you need to wait about 12 hours after the game before they play it.

Roos press conference up now

We are above Richmond

Hopefully they recognise the correctness of that position.

I know they are no chance but can we still make the finals ?

Oh yes.

Beating Richmond. The best.

Tyson, Viney, Vince, N Jones all fantastic through the middle, Howe played the best game probably of his career across half-back, Jamar and Gawn in the ruck obliterated Hampson and Vickery (spudtastic though they may be).

And then there's Pedersen, who is surely odds on for most improved this year, and Watts, who is now beginning to string some consistency together. Much more intensity and using his body a lot more.

We ran hard and hit hard all game. Players are starting to have trust in each other that they will win the contest which is meaning players are making quicker decisions. People that argue the Tyson deal are kidding, I would argue Tyson for pick 2 on its own is still a clear win. Just because it hasn't been mentioned, T-Mac did a cracking job on Riewoldt.

This is my first ever post....

Reading Demonland every day, subscribed after the sentinal 'Demonland will close' post.

What a great win

All I can say is

Thank you Paul Roos, how lucky we are

The first 'Messiah', who has told the team

I am NOT the Messiah, YOU are

The TEAM is the thing....

Pivotal moment this win

Good call on McDonald. He's still got a lot of problems offensively, but I thought he beat Riewoldt today one on one.

Our work ethic is now translating into statistical wins - the clearances were one example of that. We hit the contests so much harder (Richmond have some real softc*cks, I tell you what. Morris - wow).

I think Roos needs a pay rise.

Bloody. Umpires. Even after a win I' m fuming. It's not the one's they pay it's the blatant ones that never ever go our way.

Yes, I feel the same in regards to umps. Is it just that they don't want us to win? Some of our tackles and chase downs were fantastic but no free kick! And then Salem (I think) gets the ball a split second before being tackled and free kick!!! Disgraceful! But we won, like we did against Crows

Having said that and with everything going against us - just enormous all round. Pedo, Howe, watts, Viney, Tyson, jamar, Chunk - huge games. Cross, Vince, Gawn, Dawes great stuff cameo's everywhere -Bail, m jones, toump, Salem, Jkh, all went when it was their turn.

Fantastic team effort!

We live in hope!

Umpiring was disgraceful, thats why!

i understand why jones will get the votes, but watts was bog for mine. 19 disposals, 11 marks, 3 goals straight, 4 tackles. the game-changer.

Team performance.

I love beating that mob, biggest pack of whingers this side of Essendon!!

Go the Mighty Demons, loved running over them at the end even though the umps were riding them home hard.
