made all the more sweater as I was sitting with a bunch of Hawthorne supporting mates. Was the best. 

 

Are these sweaters for sale?

I'm too drunk to care

With Dad in hospital and looking the worse for wear I decided to take mum in and get around the old fella. So glad I did as we got him out of bed for first time in a few weeks, sat him up and we listened to most of the match together while I got some decent sustenance into him.

 He's a Blues fan but also loosely followed the Demons through the Barrasi years and then when he went over to the Dark (navy blue) side! Even said he carried Ron's bag into Princess Park on his first day, Ron changing into full Carlton regalia to address the charges as fully fledged Blues captain/coach.

I couldn't wipe the smile off Dad's face when we hit the front in the last and went on with it and he even shed a tear of joy as we sung the song at the end.

To Mr Roos and the boys thank you for making today a special day for my dad. I wish I could have been there but it's still a day I will never forget. I salute you.

One small but very important step for the boys.... one meaningful leap for the Club and its long suffering supporters!

The Mighty Demons are back!!!

Also Jayden Hunt high fived me after the game. My life is now complete. 

Never wash that hand again. 

Well, that was the third game I've been to this year for three wins.  I'm pretty happy with that. 

Massive congratulations to King on his first 50 games, and to team Viney for their combined 300.  I don't think we could have asked for more from either of them today.

It was such  thrill to see the young guys dominating the midfield, and especially their kicking into the forward 50.  I don't remember the last time we had that many quality kicks delivered to our forwards.  It made such a difference from the usual high bomb to the square and obviously paid off as we kicked 17 goals 8 from 46 inside 50's.  That's as good a conversion rate as anyone in the league. 

I couldn't believe the blatant frees being missed by the umpires right from the beginning of the game.  Two of the Hawks' three first term goals were from clear umpiring blunders.  I'm waiting to see how Kennedy is going to try to spin those calls to make them seem legitimate, or indeed if he will just refuse to address them.  I was absolutely ropable at the game and so proud of the team for just sucking it up and beating the hell out of the Hawks anyway. 

Just an awesome win. 

Only just watching the game now.  But one significant observation - how much better does RED and BLUE look compared to poo brown and yellow.

Hodge, Mitchell, Thug Lewis, cheat Rioli, and Third man up only Gibson...

...beaten by Oliver, Viney, Tyson, Jones, Gawn and Watts. 

The Rolling Stones were wrong - I can get satisfaction. 

Demonland going off!!!! Yeeeeew AMAZING WIN = GO DEMONS.

I like that our GWS recruits, The Dom, Frosty and Buggy  have a win over the Hawks after GWS smashed them earlier in the year.

Beer anyone?

Kn oath Gawn dog

Watched the Stretch and Tyson goals about 10 times now.......

Surely Pederson has done enough now to hold his spot. He is that Leigh Brown type. Prefer seeing him pinch hit in the ruck instead of Watts. 

Would love to see Weid play a few more this season.

love that AVB, Brayshaw, Trac are all playing together. 

Max = man crush 

Viney = same as above

we are getting better, but still above the shoulders. Got to keep improving in the mind as much as physically during pre season.

Heard Clarko post match. I respect him, but no need to mention that Hawthorn "have dominated sides, including Melbourne for a long time".

i think he is trying to deflect attention from the side because they have probably been fortunate to be on top given so many close wins. This loss if analysed will show Hawks not unbeatable. The ladder is a lot closer now too. Regarding the Hawks....watch this space....

What did he say?

Nothin I'm just sic of hearing his dribble that he speaks about us and the demeaning and belittling way he talks. It really grates me tbh. 

He talks like we don't understand English!!!

 

I love this club.

I saw this on twitter. Is tis true?

Great to see Garry Lyon in the Melbourne rooms before the game. Apparently delivered an emotional pre-game speech

Haven't made it through the thread yet. Can anyone eloborate 

We were probably a 7-8 goal, even more better side today. They never looked dangerous. And haven't really all year. They've normally won those games but we got on top and ran away. 

Those last 10 minutes, haven't seen something like that against a top 8 team let alone 1st since the Daniher years. I have fond memories of Trapper Johnston putting the final nail in the coffin against the Pies in 04 or 05. Today reminded me of that when Billy finished them off.  

Was a fun last quarter .

Mentioned during the match and also on Bigfooty,..... Afl number 1 Ruck/rover combination, Max Gawn/Tyson, number 2 Max Gawn/Viney, number 3 Gawn/Jones. Totally amazing if correct.

That would make Max the No 1 ruckman surely...

easily AA. no doubt. Even before that stat he had it locked in.

He could not show up the last 3 games and still be the AA ruck.,

He is a lock.

Great news - I had thought that I would have to listen to Deeerrrwayne when I gat to see the replay later, but you seem to be suggesting that I don't.

So Clarkson just used inexperience as an excuse for their loss today. The little person scrambling for excuses.

We need to get Pauline Hansen to give him her standard response: "Please explain"

Its a beautiful thing

Just saw replays on the 'incidents':

Don't think Rioli will go.  I don't know how they assess "high" - but I thought the contact with Oliver looked more like chest and the head throwback might have come from chin contact? I don't think there was a concussion risk with that shirtfront, I'd be happy with it if delivered by an MFC player.

The Mitchell one was piss poor and he should definitely get weeks.  Will probably be declared "low impact" which will probably reduce it unfortunately, but I can't see him avoiding a suspension.  He clearly, blatantly punched Watts in the face.

I was told that Gawn/vince is number 7 as well.

OMG stunning win, totally amazing!!

 

Tears in the Redlegs area after the siren.
