Greatest Celebrations

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

 

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

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.

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'm hoping today will be the one. :)


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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    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.
