From the preview thread:

I can't watch tonight sadly, family event. Might see if I can sneak out early. Otherwise, its a problem if we win!

We listened to the last 5 on the radio and watched the last quarter recorded.

Fill me in guys...

Basically a sloppy shitfight for most of the game, very few clean passages of play. But, we won; the lads went in hard all night, there were no passengers and everyone tried their absolute guts out! Sellar took a mark, several in fact, and was very good. There was the usual fumbling/poor disposal/decision making, but every player, every single one, tried the whole game. Moloney and Sylvia I thought were very good with their effort, Watts had another solid game as the floater across half-back. Looked a lot stronger in contests which was great. Tom McDonald was again solid, had some poor kicks, but was not beaten by Hurley.
RIVERS! Played the game of his life. Best game I've ever seen him play.
BUT...
Best of all was Luke Darcy saying in the first quarter that 'Melbourne are no chance to win this...' then, we won! BT and the others gave him plenty of stick for it too.

The boys saw that Essendon were off their mark and made them pay, Essendon had their chances, didn't take them, our defence held up brilliantly, garland showed he can play forward he just needs to work on accuracy, Our senior players pulled their fingers out finally. The reaction from the players, staff and fans was amazing best win I've been to in a long long time.

I didn't mind Darcy...but after that stupid comment, well, the guy can shove it. Why make such ridiculous statements? Oh dear. MELBOURNE! .

This is the start we wanted! Now we just need to build on this. Winning is such a great feeling, the cup of coffee in the morning will taste that much better tomorrow

Luke Darcy is a David King type w***er.



And this was the best sort of game to watch in my opinion - hard, ferocious contested, brutal.

Ill take that any day over 2 front running teams playing a shoot out.

Gotta admit, that was a damn fine effort by your Deees, well played. ! Must say im glad the dons have given my Club a wake up call, we certainly wont take Melbourne easy now, on the QB big game. Should be a massive game now, as it usually is. !

Congratulations on the win Demons fans. I'm sure it's a great relief of the shoulders of many.

Has a ridiculous hate for Richmond too. Can't seem to admit we're on the up and picked StKilda by 40 points.
King of stupid statements. Makes it even sweeter when the results go the other way.
Great win tonight dees.

Cheers C9, and congratulations again on the superb win over the Saints. That was beautiful to watch too

Great win by the Dees, you deserved it and wanted it more. Considering your start to the season compared to ours it hurts to lose that one, but must admit while the droves of Essendon supporters left on the siren I did enjoy the sheer joy on the Dees players' faces and on the supporters.

But damn it why can't we beat you?

Seems like the past three years you've been tipped to beat us and that's when we've stood up and won

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Yes it's true, I also think you match up well against us and against the Pies...
