Dean Wallis - Good riddance

Featured Replies

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.

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 heard a rumour that Wallis may be coming to us :)

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
