I believe in a person having the courage of their convictions... H-H's a repeat offender... let him take the long walk off the short pier.

I'm still in disbelief.

Cannot fathom the fact that we actually beat those drug cheating scums.

That whole passage of play to set up the Salem goal was incredible. Roosy said it was the best passage of play for the entire year, and I'd have to agree.

Can't wipe the smile off my face. GO DEES!

Great balance of attack and defence in the second half. Great character building win. Where the hell was that run in the first half? Aside from Viney no mid ran to space in the first half. Forwards continually ran to the same spots. Players missed kicks that should be routine. We should have been 10 goals down and the mood on here would be very different. McKenzie and Riley were liabilities in the first half but once Salem came on and McKenzie started actually trying to get the ball when it was there to be won we looked much better.

We played about 40 minutes of footy. We never looked like winning it and still can't quire believe we snatched it. Hopefully, this is the platform we need to go to that next level.

Jamar was immense in the last 40, given Bellchambers had given him a bath in the first half.

Grimes probably played the best game of his career. He should have kicked that first one, but made some good decisions today.

After a one dimensional first half, McKenzie earnt his spot in the second half. He was terrific.

Despite giving away two or three goals from clangers, Dunn was excellent.

Then you have Nathan Jones, who was our most consistent player. What a leader.

Not much difference 2 last week what is the biggest difference 1 kicking goals, last week kicking en points one wins games one loses games.

After tonight, I think your posting name wins first prize for the most appropriate. ;)

Agree Pedo was great in starting that last scoring play - but everyone along the chain of play picked the right option - Chip, Jordie, Tommy Mac, Viney & Cross - all of them could have let the pressure get to then and blaze away but it was a perfect chain of footy.

Blatant free kick to Frawley not paid, probably just as well.

afl 360 will be great viewing tomorrow night. with thompson and roos.

Just watched the last 2 minutes on the net. wow and listening to the last quarter highlights on 774 was great stuff. Even better was we won without dawes kicking a goal. From the radio it sounds like dunn was awesome, McKenzie did the job on stanton and cross came back after doing some mistakes.

That last 2 minutes was great. That last play was awesome to watch the way we got the ball to Salem, no panic they knew what to do. Pederson to get that handball to Jones to start that play off was fantastic. And when they got the centre clearence in the end and had it in there forward line, again the players didnt do anything stupid by giving away a free. I think the best moment from that footage was Roosy and the smile on his face and the fist pump.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
