Emotional ROARS at the "G"

Ill start

Woowoodins 5 bounce and Goal

There were a few in that final against Carlton in 2000

 

not many our supporters are probably the most silent in the AFL to be honest. Farmer's mark in 1998 against Richmond would be up there along with the one in 1998 Prelim Against North which we lost.... also the general atmosphere of the Prelim in 2000 where we probably played our best game of footy i have ever seen (how good were Powell, and Farmer towelling Pickett that night) and also the Adelaide 2002 Semi were ones that made me get chills....

 

For me it was the roar at the half time siren of the 1987 elimination final, followed closely by the one after the National Anthem before the game.

Powerful stuff.

Nothing has come close since.

GO DEES

WE TEND TO 'CLAP' MUCH MORE THAN ROAR...

Maybe the majority of our supporters are overly introverted without realising & the feedback the players onfield recieve from crowd response helps to instill a lack of extravertism.


When I was a kid back in the late 80s early 90s, a roar on the back flank would always go up when Rodney grinter smacked some poor sods teeth out behind play.

I loved grinter, he has harder than a male pornstars......

jeff white goal v the bullies 2 years ago in round 21

ditto

In the final against the Saints last year - Davey comes back on after the Baker free and 50, grabs the ball out of nowhere, takes a bounce or two on the boundary line and delivers it to Neitz in the goal square. When Neitz takes that mark, the crowd Roars. That goal puts us in front I believe. Watch the replay of that 4th quarter on Bigpond if you can, it's worth it just for that moment.

 

Considering how depressing football is at the moment, three cheers for this thread.

I'll add in the roar when we hit the front against the Crows in the 2002 final. Spine-chilling. Unfortunately, there was a 4th quarter to that game.

In that 02 SF, the roar when Yze goaled from the forward pocket, 60s after Vardy had done from the same spot, and the standing ovation Clint Bizzell got for his spoil on Mark Stevens, soccer off the ground, chase and dive at the loose ball and then diving tackle on Stenglein, creating the loose ball for Armstrong and then Yze.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
