Post Match Discussion - Elimination Final

[dees189227 10,952]

That Hannan goal I had to watch it off the big screen because everyone around me stood up willing him to kick it. It was just great last night. 

Just watching the highlights now.

Clayton Olivers 50/50 hard ball win that killed Scott Selwood in Q4 in front of the members was a moment I won't forget. What a night!! Great to see so many faithful there

We witnessed something special last night.

The birth of the new “Brutal” MFC

[Cassiew 1,872]

Ah what a night. Woke up by my masseuse this morning. Fell asleep during it. Now just getting this sorted to meet up with my younger brother and his family today.

How awesome was the crowd? I think it must have been 80% Melbourne EASY. We even had a neutral sitting near us, that was going for us. Said we’d really captured his imagination. Gave away lots of hugs to strangers tonight. Not really strangers, we’re all part of the big demon family. Wonderful game wonderful win.

Only thing is have to get that bikini now, groans.

To all the people who said they were done with this club after last season, hows your new club going for you ha ha

My favourite moment this season was watching the start of the final quarter..

Selwood pulls a free kick from viney.

Viney picks up his mouth gaurd as Selwood goes to take his kick.

Selwood tries to play on and slips over and gets caught by Jack.

Ball goes forward and Jones kicks true.

We're home.

My kids are 19 and 21. First final they can remember the Dees winning.

We've got some forward entry work to do but jfc we play some s**t hot footy.

How do I get from Ballina to the Pondsford for next Friday?

And how ironic that Selwood once told Chunk he was the worst captain in the AFL, step aboard the Karma Bus duckwood

GO YOU FUCKEN DEMONS!!!!

Sorry - I must have missed you. I just about hugged every other random stranger on Level 4 in the Members. 

I will look out for you next week?

Goodwin is about to be interviewed on SEN'S crunch time show. Should be in about the next 5 or 10 minutes I reckon 

[Maldonboy38 5,997]

Got home just before 2am - VERY long train journey home. My voice is not too bad this morning considering, but I sound like the love child of Barry White and Peter Moore.

That was a great game of footy tainted by some atrocious field kicking and decision making. But it was a great win. Our ferocity and heart was as good as I have ever seen. The only reason the Cats were anywhere near us was because of our kicking inside 50. Apart from that we demolished them, brushed them aside even though they also tackled well. About  12 months ago a lot of Demonlanders were complaining about our lack of game plan and playing style. No doubters now. Demons footy clearly on display.  And really good to watch.

The crowd was ridiculous - possibly the biggest pro-Dees crowd I can remember. when Jones kicked that goal it reminded me when Robbie Flower ran onto the ground for the first time in the '87 finals series. Goosebumps.

Special mentions to Jetta, Weid, Lewis, Harmes and Brayshaw. And Viney, although he was blowing hard at the end of each quarter, he was brutal around the contest. Welcome back.

Although Vandenberg was hard at it and ran all night I thought he was very poor. Horrible decision making, disposal putting team mates under pressure, and numerous unpressured turnovers. 

I have to make comment about the Holy Trinity of Dangerfield, Ablett and Selwood.  I am a huge fan of Ablett & Dangerfield and they looked continually dangerous. They really are brilliant.  Selwood's fierceness and toughness can be inspirational. But the continual moaning, gesturing at the umpire, glancing at the umpire, pointing at team mates and general all-round whinging of all 3 of them brought shame on their own jumper. It was pathetic - like watching some tall kid in the U15's who thinks he is great and telling off his team mates for not giving him the ball. Rant over.

Bring on the Hawks.

Lets not forget that the pussycats lose AGAIN after the bye/week off. I think that’s 3 wins from 12 finals games  

Sucked in Scott u fat faced pumpkin head.

Also beat the Cats last week in the VFL and if Box Hill wins today then we play them in the Prelim next week.

First the Cats and then the Hawks, both in the National and the State comp.

Yeah, nah.

 The VFL Cats play the Hawks on Sunday in a semi final. The winner gets to play Williamstown.

Casey will play the winner of Richmond v Essendon.

Everyone stood up at different occasions and the fans were awesome.

no voice left today .

was talking with my Richmond supporting mate before the bounce to start the 2nd half ; about who is going to be the match winner ala Dusty , we started yelling at Trac giving him a Rev up then bang evades three handball to Jones!!! Jonesy!!

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

For all the petty bickering on this website, the reality is - we’re the heart and soul supporters.

I loved that game. That experience. I am pumped. I love youse all!

Time to watch the replay.

 

[John Demonic 4,867]

I kind of hope collingwood win (ew) so a prelim mcg rematch looms for the same reasons. Id back us to beat WCE, but not their umps with those magical finals momentum shifting abilities. Got them back into game v Kangas back in 2015

I agree on that part, he did some stupid handpasses to teammates under pressure but his tackling was brutal and outstanding last night

I didn’t know that taking a slash on some random person’s rosebush at about 1:30 in the morning tunelessly whistling “it a grand old flag” for the thousandth time could bring a bloke such pleasure.

Next week we will take a slash on some Mayblooms

Spot on @Ron Burgundy

While I am a bit of an admitted stirrer (how could someone with my username not be?), I don't doubt anyone on here's sincerity.

Well, I might have doubted Doctor Who's sincerity but that is the only poster who mightn't have been fair dinkum.
