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.

    dont be silly, James Hird was just seeing Shane Charter in his playing days for 'dietary advice'

    Agreed! That incident is still vividly implanted on my memory. It was a gutless king hit.

    I've hated them both (Wallis & Long) since then.

    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.

    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.)

    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.

    Clearly very wrong...apologies to all

    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.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
