Hard fought and hard earned. Pretty happy with that.

All respect to Tom Hafey. I'm hoping to see him appropriately honoured today both before the game and with an exciting contest. Just hoping we can do what the Lions did to us after Jimmy's passing and put it all aside to clinch the win.

I'm always surprised in this current state of football, being a high pressure contest driven game, that we don't see more of the players who hesitate and dither with the ball being run down from behind as soon as play on is called. Probably not an exact science, but by standing X metres away and beginning to run as soon as the opposition player marks the ball you should be able to reach the exclusion zone at full pelt as the umpire calls "play-on". Could be high risk but bloody hell when it pays off then jackpot. Good probability of taking possession as well as making the opposition crap their dacks.

Disappointed with the result. Happy with the progress in both endeavour and the gameplan. That's about all.

Now lets get that thread title changed!

Hope you've got a good one to mark the result.

Purple headed warrior. I'm not sure how much further I can clarify that.

Oh look... I have a freshly poured scotch in my hand.

Good on you jane02. Well said.

We must. Part of this trajectory is to start turning "surprise wins" into back to back wins and then into winning streaks. Would like Dwayne Russell to eat his words from yesterday about "this one isn't going to script." You know what Dwayne, it was going to the script. Roos has a script, and you just got to witness the first act in person.

Isn't that holding the man? From what I saw that day the player tackling Viney already had hands on him before he grabbed it mid-air.

The real indicator is that this year I am not screaming out "Why is [insert opposition players name] on his own in the goal square?"

I think someone posted it on here in hope only and it has become truth purple monkey dishwasher.

As Moonshadow said, Wojo got suspended for his hit. Sylvia's was as you said "a few years ago"... At the time the rules were less about head high contact and you could've run him over (or any Dees player for that matter) with a bus on the field and the umps would've called play on.

AFL website reporting Lynch out for 6 weeks with a broken jaw. You can almost see the stitch up coming. Viney to get three weeks.

I think you can click on the image to enlarge it. It's Mitch Clark tweeting "It's a Grand Old Flag" Thought it was noteworthy.

Win a Brownlow and you're assured a nice run with the umps as well.

Basil Zempilas - "Demons lead nearly all the way through". No Basil..... We lead at EVERY change. Just suck it up you condescending [censored].

I hope so. It's for a great cause.

That win had Roos' fingerprints all over it. And we won on the road. And N Jones didn't have to be BOG.

Too early to have Roos canonised?

I love Melbourne. I hate umpires. That is all.

Did the Demonland server have a heart attack too?
