Post Match Discussion - Never in doubt

No Essendon player followed Salem down the ground. Goddard could have, but he went to Viney and Cross. When Cross had the kick, Hibberd was left in no-man's land between Salem and Dawes. Perfect running into space by everybody.

Is there really a need for this?

I don't know about the Daniher comment, bit harsh.

But I'm sure Hurley cops plenty of stick for his stupid hair style! You go out to play with a man-bun, prepare to cop it.

It's 1pm and I'm still walking around work with a big goofy grin on my face!

One of the highlights was watching the team song and there was NO-ONE in the middle.

Been a while since I can remember seeing that. Sorry if it has already been noted.

About Vince, Gerard Healy was spot on about him OTC last Monday.

I'm more of a Cross man myself.

I hope you are not too CROSS with our win!

How good was the passion from roosy

[jnrmac 20,310]

They are really paying some stinkers this year. The rule is policed poorly and is reflective of umpires having never played the game. If you turn towards the boundary line you are opening yourself up to trouble.I really believe this rule should be policed very leniently and unless it is absolutely 100% obvious then throw it in.

particulalry the ones that travel 40m or so. WTF are the players suposed to do? Kick it directly to an opposition player??

They look up the field, see oppn players and kick it down the line, sometimes with spin to make it go out. That is brilliant in my view. Great talent. To pay deliberate for that which they do is insane. Particularly when the ball bounces sideways.

Maggots.

I was so happy for my grandson today, he was over the moon after the game. You have to admire the kids who have stuck with us after all the cr@p we've put up over the last 7 years, he just turned 11 so we've been rubbish for most of his life.

Priceless. I had my seven year old daughter. Was the most fantastic experience seeing how delighted she was after the game. She is a demon for life now!

Would lynden dunn be the most improved player in the comp

The bit i liked... “I’m really enjoying it and I probably have more of an attachment to the club than I felt I would have, which is good

Draped my scarf over my bosses desk this morning, along with my Ess / Ess / Ess / Melb quarter by quarter collect receipt.

Nice little collect

Nope. Cam Pederson is. Dunn was a fringe AFL-level defender last year. Pedo was a straight up VFL-level dud. Not any more, and all credit to him for that.

[Canberra Demon 159]

It was a great game and its great to see the boys actually put it together after falling behind.

[ManDee 7,352]

I was just kidding

Im just enjoying the win, not sure why people took one dumb post I made in the gameday thread so literally. it was just a frustrating point in the game

Lets discuss the game

Go Dees

Anyone that has not made a mistake put your hand up........................ mmmm no one, as I thought, you're forgiven. Welcome back HH

Great win. It makes the drive back to Mansfield worth it. Believe me I have had some long depressing drives over the last few years. Even my wife enjoyed the last quarter, she talked about the game most of the way home, and she hates football!

Note to all the Melbourne supporters at the ground. We were loud, really loud. The players would have felt that.

The roar coming from the crowd the last 2 min was amazing. Obviously i heard it through the TV but still.

Im so envious for all the guys and girls that were able to be there to watch...

[Deemotivated 550]

Great game! Can't believe we won it considering how poor our first half was

So many great potential gif moments

Not bad for a kid who was snubbed by WA U18s...

[TGR 1,367]

Roosy is an absolute coaching genius.

First half was diabolical. No run, no spread, losing contested footy, losing 1 v 1s. Second half, what a change in mindset and coaching. That's a real coaching bloke at the helm.

Reckon we can knock off North next week.

I think the coaching genius is that:

1. Roos knows the process and systems and requirements of September footy

2. Roos doesn't look at the scoreboard and react, like most of us. He sees the micro better than most. Hence when most of the footy world, including some of us, were worried about 3 goals against Collingwood, the macro scoreboard was the last thing on his mind.

Loved that goal, but I reckon his kick to Frawley was just as good, if not better.

et chacun pour soi, salop

[Little Goffy 14,804]

The fallout from this game keeps rippling around, with dangerous isotopes landing among Carlton and Richmond.

For them, the Bulldogs and Melbourne both winning is putting a very sharp focus on their stagnation.

They both have fairly rough draws for the remainder of the season and would need to lift their form to keep from being the other half of the bottom four, after Brisbane and the dire Saints.

And that was published before yesterday's game! He must be even happier now!

[Ted Lasso 19,568]

I wouldn't be surprised if roosy is coach longer than 3 years

[deeflog 679]

cam pederson sends his regards

Easily the most improved in the league
