If you saw the boys sing the song, you saw how important that win was.
It is sure to galvanise the squad and augers well for the next few months.
We don't win interstate very often, and especially not when it's tight. And against Sydeny, who are the masters of the close contest, the magnitude of that win cannot be understated.
We were a bit lucky, thanks to the shape of the ball and the lack of a 4th umpire. But who bloody cares? We deserved it.
Sydney are a pile of gay - the aim of the game is to kick goals. Sydney are their own worst enemy by not kicking them. Suck shit.
Beautiful victory Essendon. Just magical.

We had to win two of Richmond/Sydney/WC/Port to be a serious contender for the finals this year. The fact that we have done that will lift the team a hell of a lot. If we can win one of the next two games, we will be right in the mix and we may just have given Sheeds a couple more years.

That's our best win for the season. Unequivocally.
Beat Sydney at their own game, on their ground, in conditions they revel in. And i was so glad we beat those f****** by a lousy point after they got so close. Eat that you cheap arsed f****** - so often they're the inferior team for 75% or more of the game and squib a win. Well, not tonight arseholes.

they were booing the umps, I think they would have kept booing for a while.stryper wrote:A very Gutsy Win and Well Done to all the Boys...

As for the Sydney supporters a Bunch Of Losers!!!
Disgusting to Boo Off Lloydy
Suffer bad I hope it hurts you bunch of Wankers!!!
the umpiring was absolutely terrible, but they didn't see the ones that we should have got as well.
also, WHY ON EARTH does the SCG water the ground? you would have thought it had been raining all week in Sydney, when there hasn't been a single drop....
crazy...the curators must not be AFl supporters.
Tonights game was a prime example as to why we need more day games, and less of this twilight/night rubbish.

f****** yes!!! Definately our best win of the season by far. We beat a team that was just about fully fit, and we still had a few players out, i.e. lovett, lovett-murray.
Absolutely over the moon by the performance the boys put in tonight.
They way the boys played shows everyone, especailly our supporters that we have improved over the summer, and our future is looking very bright indeed

SCG curators have been rigging it for years. They watered the ground before the Semi against Geelong in '05 to suit the Sydney players. Pack of corrupt c**** if you ask me.tom9779 wrote:also, WHY ON EARTH does the SCG water the ground? you would have thought it had been raining all week in Sydney, when there hasn't been a single drop....

They also do it during cricket season - rig the pitch.

Just got home... was getting regular updates throughout the night... but I'm about to watch the game. Quite looking forward to it. Was listening on the radio when we got away to a flyer. I thought we could be in trouble then because every time we get off to a quickfire start this year we seem to find a way to make it a real dogfight. I'll take ye old 4 points, thank you.
Nice tip Megs.

Indeed. Sign of maturity? Whatever it is, it's certainly promising.Bomber_Fan wrote:What's great about this one is that we've one two close ones in a row - last year we would have lost both last week's and this week's game.
I actually had a look back through the past seasons late last week to find out when we last won 3 in a row. Goes back to 2004 when we clocked up 6 wins on the trot. Included in those 6 were West Coast (round 3 @ Phone Dome - won by 6 points) and Adelaide (round 9 @ AAMI Stadium - won by 51 points).That's three in a row now - it's been so long since we've won 3 in a row!!!
Could we see the beginning of something special? Could we knock off West Coast and Port Adelaide and go 8-4? Then Melbourne (monkey is off their backs now) and go 9-4? I don't want to get too far ahead, but jeez... if we could pull it off, that would certainly be something.

agree - we were the much better side most of the night - but that also worries me - the fact that we let them get a look in at victory. if we can capitalise on the time we outplay opposition teams - we will start to look a real threat. we have to find a way to convert consistently when we are playing our best footy.jimmyc1985 wrote:That's our best win for the season.

our third term was fantastic - and we only kicked 5 behinds. had so many inside 50s - the ball was only in our half.
need to hurt teams - and put games out of reach.

You needn't be worried that we nearly lost - Sydney are the masters at robbing teams blind when the other team is clearly superior for a majority of the match. They must've done it a dozen times in the last 3 or so years. I'm in fact happy that we held them off - plenty of other teams would've got diddled in the dying minutes ala Geelong in the 2005 Semi.tonysoprano wrote:agree - we were the much better side most of the night - but that also worries me - the fact that we let them get a look in at victory. if we can capitalise on the time we outplay opposition teams - we will start to look a real threat. we have to find a way to convert consistently when we are playing our best footy.jimmyc1985 wrote:That's our best win for the season.
