How many of us thought we were utterly shot with 5 minutes to go and Oliver and Pickett taking shots?

OK so who starts up the Petition to have next week's Preliminary Final moved to the MCG?

Doesn't matter now but it was silly of Acres to play on and kick the goal. He should have taken 30 seconds off the clock.

Or miss from 15 out and become a pariah.

I was pleased to see him play on, but when the ball came off the outside of his boot..... Then he started to celebrate and I could breath again.

When we got the ball forward with time running out I kept repeating to my wife "we're going to win, we're going to win". I was shocked, we came from nowhere. When the siren sounded I walked around the lounge room shaking my head and chuckling. It really took awhile for it sink in. To be resigned to defeat, and have them then pull the game out of the fire. As a long suffering supporter it's all a bit hard to take in.

Me.

Even when Acres kicked it I was still nervous.

Oh, absolutely. Wife came in at about that spot and gave a sound suggesting it was a close game but I said nah it's over, we're out of gas. She probably is wondering why I still haven't come to bed.

Payback for the 2000 final.
I'm delighted but gee we were lucky - Demons should have won by at least 4 goals.
Our bottom 6 players will need to be better next week.

Next week, 2 of that bottom 6 will be Harry & Martin…

Unbelievable.
I have no idea how we won that.
I thought last week was loud but this was another level.
So many errors and we still managed to win.
So good to be there.

No words. Level 1 Ponsford was out of control. This club is a juggernaut.
Ran into Tony DeBolfo straight after the game, and spent a couple of great nuffie minutes trying to reflect on what the @#$%&! just happened.
What a night.

Hollands was huge in the last 2 minutes

Melbourne's sub sat unused on the bench :lol:

Just watched Vossy's presser.
Can see that man holding aloft another premiership cup!
Happy to go to bed now!

We'll all wake up tomorrow pinching the shit out of ourselves and still shaking our heads.

And then watch this again and again...

Not long back from the game... what a buzz... what a crowd

I thought we were gone a few times but the boys found a way... the footy gods must be paying us back for last season.

3 points from a prelim... pffft

A tall as sub makes absolutely no sense. But especially a tall who has played one game all year and is a complete spud

Corporate thing, but might not be a given it seems....
May have spoken too soon in my enthusiasm.

Gabba only holds 35,000 - it's gonna be a mean feat to get in one way or the other, but irons in fire and fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed !
