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.

34 Large Bintang - it's all pretty conclusive via Wifi on Nusa Lembongan - me and another random MFC member would put Hurn down for 2 and mm thicker 8 - coulda been teeth... definitely struck him

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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
