A Vardy like performance

A name that has gone down in Western Australian performances by the Dees

Now it will be known as .... "Doing a Mac Donald"

Well done Dees

We won and they played as well as they could.

With 2 minutes to go I felt we would do it. Exactly like Id felt when other teams get us previously.

That was then This is now.

Yep. I was weirdly confident we would win in that last minute. We are the real deal

Can't even discuss the actual game yet, only how the win felt.

I was at the ground. I brought a ticket through Ticketmaster and some how ended up sitting in an Eagles reserved seating section. I literally could not see another Melbourne supporter. I was by myself. I cheered everything we did and got stared at, people whispered about me, one woman asked her husband if they could move away. I wasn't badly behaved. I was just passionate.

Because those Eagles supporters they don't understand - I fell in love with this footy club in 1987. I was sitting with my old man on the half forward flank when Jimmy ran over the mark and Buckenara kicked the goal in the Prelim. I've sat through horrible horrible performances - multiple 100 point floggings at the G (just 4 years ago). I'd do it all again for that win, and the effort and energy we showed to drag ourselves over the line in that last quarter.

When Tommy Mac kicked the last goal I went bananas. And then when the siren went I went absolutely ballistic. You know those sad people at sporting events going nuts who you think 'calm down mate, maybe you need more going on in your life'? - that was me!

Im pretty sure I looked like the slow mo of Stevie J when he kicked the sealer a couple of weeks back - but in real time.

It was ugly. I don't care. That was an absolute delight.

I love this footy club, and I love that I at least have a place on the internet to share something like this with people who get it.

Go The Dees. I believe. 

What a post. Brilliant.

Gee these boys will never lay down in a game, and they are improving as the year goes on like a well-oiled machine.

NO Jones, Watts and Hogan tonight either.

4 wins in a row, first time in well over a decade.

3 from 3 interstate games.

Something special is happening.

Just looked at the ladder.  All that effort just to stay in the same spot!  That sucks!

Yeah but it's a crucial win, keeps us ahead of the pack.

Incredibly, but maybe not, for once after being actually at the ground, I can't wait to get home and watch the mother-fuggin replay on Tele.

Been in back of my nuts Canberra all week for work...missus stitched me up with a "dinner" tonight with some randoms, so couldn't see or hear any of the game, except the odd phone score update during a wee break...

Ended up with 43 text messages during and after the game, came home to rip into the gas and watch the replay at it didn't bloody tape on Foxtel!!

Amazing win but the world can GOGF'd!!

Tomorrows replay it is!

The most impressive thing tonight was that in the last two minutes, with the game on the line, we win every clearance, every contest.

We seriously lacked composure in our close losses this year. Tonight we showed a composure and will to win we haven't seen for 11 years.

The boys have finally come to the realisation that winning on a regular basis isn't exclusive to any particular club...and there's no "magic wand" formula.

But you do have to get super fit, have at least one asset or two up your sleeve....and play the whole match out at break neck effort and intensity. 

If you win you win as a result, if you don't you don't.  You then quickly move on to next week and do it all over again.  Not easy but not a Houdini act either.

A little bit of experience, depth and talent doesn't go astray either and we now are seeing all of these aspects improve by the week.

After doing the hard yards at work tonight and driving home, my phone just went nuts with messages! Finally got to see the last two minutes and then the song being sung, insane feeling. Left with a massive grin.

They are building. This all has a certain feeling about it.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
