Does anyone have any footage of the wallis hit on brad green? I've seen the Michael long one on you tube but I can't seem to find the wallis hit anywhere. I was at the grand final too but much younger and can't remember the wallis incident.

So pleased to see Wallis shafted. I'll never forgive, or forget, him and Sheedy in 2000 GF. Ed: changed topic title. Added " Good riddance".

I don't understand all the venom for Wallis.......He did what a player should do in a grand final.....If it was one of our players doing it to an Ess player.....You would all be cheering Lets be hon

The worst thing about what essendon did that was that they didnt need to. They would have won anyway - we all know that. So they didnt need to be dirty pricks. And yet...

I guess our lack of success makes some fester over such relatively minor issues that are trivial today.

FWIW, MFC were embarrassingly outplayed in all facets in the 2000 GF.

And IMO I have no issue with Wallis action on Green. They sought to upset a young player who had been prominent in the finals for MFC.

I was ropable that the AFL did not harshly punish Long for his dangerous hit on Simmonds. He should have gone for half a season for it.

It was an unfortunate blemish on a fine footballer and excellent community leader.

Somehow I think all will be forgiven.

I've only just accepted the fact that RDB went to Carlton.

LOL I am a Frog so I have no hands or fists.

Personally I would just ignore a tool like Wallis as he would not be worth my time as hes just an ex EsseThug player.

Sheedy made it all happen.

The only risk to essendon in the 2000 GF was a few very young MFC players; Green was one.

Wallis had not played one game in the 1s that year (re-read that); Sheedy brought him in purely to take out Green and others. No other reason.

For mine, Sheedy and Wallis have been beneath contempt since that day.

(And pity the essendon player(s) who stood aside for Wallis.)

Sheedy = %^&* Wallis = ^&%$

Mono, your imaginative point rests on the bold and underlined assertion that Sheedy & Wallis are beneath contempt because Wallis was selected out of the blue for the 2000 grand final as a hired gun, brought in for his only game of 2000 simply to pick off Demon players.

Would you like to know that Wallis actually played 16 games in 2000, including the qualifying final and preliminary final. (Re-read that.)

Clearly very wrong...apologies to all

You may be confusing 2000 with 1993, when Sheedy selected Wallis for the grand final to replace Derek Kickett. That year Wallis had not played since late in the home-and-away season, but came in and ironed out Mil Hanna.

Maybe.....

Gee I hope you weren't there when Big Carl was playing....Or Don Scott or Mad dog Muir....or many of the other thugs that ruled the VFL/AFL.....Duncan Wright???who knocked out Somerville in a semi final...

In defence of Wallis....I think he was going for the Jaw and miscalculated....but time to move on...those days are past...

Just because people used to be thugs doesn't make it ok. Civilisation moves on, as it were, otherwise we'd all still be living in caves.

That's a good point!

Take an illustrative quote to extremes to attempt to establish it is ok to bash people. Excellent!

Its never OK to bash someone but I am allowed to have a little fun with you quote

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
