Wondering if anyone has some cool stories of victory celebrations they have had after a big or memorable win?

Best night I ever had was after the Melbourne vs Bulldogs game last year. Jeff White kicked the winning goal with about 20 seconds left, amazing comeback. Me and my mate went straight to a bar down the road to celebrate, ended up being exactly where about 50 Melbourne fans decided to gather. We be-friended them and partied all night til about 6am singing the song til we were hoarse.

Although, the elimination final last year almost topped it.

Awesome stuff.

there's always nudie runs at 5am the morning after winning a grand final

Many years ago I used to live in Greeves St, Fitzroy with a couple of other blokes. We used to regularly do nudie runs from our front door, down Greeves, across Smith St to touch the Athens Fish Supply window in Collingwood, then back again. This was not exactly by way of celebration but did get the adrenalin flowing. There was still plenty of traffic around at 1.00am. No-one ever got caught.

i see a pattern emerging with blokes and nudie runs.

last years defeat over the saints was a massive night - ended up out and about in richmond, gravitating towards fellow demons to recap and bust out in sporadic song.. was mates with the world that night..

The night after we beat St.Kilda, I went out with friends to celebrate, and we ran into a bunch of St.Kilda players who asked us to come to this club with them.

Apperantly (although I was drunk so I plead not guilty), I said "I don't go anywhere with losers" then started singing the Melbourne song.

My friend still hasn't forgiven me for ruining her chances with Nick Dal Santo :rolleyes: :D

That Bulldogs game with Jeff White winning it for us in the dying minutes produced my first ever football-related injury.

I'd been getting steadily louder and crazier for that whole last quarter, and for the final passage of play after that goal (remember a goal the other way would still have costs us the game) I was standing on the seat waving the scarf over my head and screaming for the bloody siren to go. Couple of security 'attendants' were hovering in the area ever-so-subtly. Gotta love a bit of official interest in my enjoyment of a fine game...

Even a few of my usually pretty placid friends were having a shout about that game.

Anyway, the injury - turns out I actually did scream my guts out, I had to be kind of 'helped' out of the stadium leaning on friends because I'd managed to wrench something, so we're winding our way down the exit ramps with me doubled over, still can't stop grinning and shouting, and spurting out the occassional 'arh F%#' as my gut spasms.

Great stuff.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
