That's what I like about Harry, he doesn't buy into the group think.

The rest of the league is scared of Hall and Brown, but Lumumba just isn't seeing it, and both Hall and Brown backed down once they seen Harry wasn't intimidated.

Barry Hall and John Brown are cut from a completely different cloth to a guy like Wayne Carey, Ablett Jr.

Hall and Brown are all puff and bluff when it comes to throwing down, wheras Ablett and Carey would throw down, could throw down - and didn't care who it was.

I knew Barry Hall was never going to get in the boxing ring. He'd of been pressured to fight someone who hit back - and not blokes like Staker who aren't looking.

At the age of 12 Hall moved to Melbourne to pursue a boxing career.[2] Training out of a makeshift boxing gym (his father's garage), he won a state title in his early teenage years and had fought in 15 fights by the age of 15.[3]

There's a reason players where intimidated by hall..... You couldn't be further from the mark

Obviously not, and I have since-in this thread- recanted that view. I can't remember too much opposition to that view, at that time though.

Not only that, there was more vitriolic nonsense than your "dead set tool douch (sic)" accusation.

Have a read through, then have a shower...

But that original "deadset douch" post did get 16 "likes".

And in the early pages of this thread, there were many similar expressions used by other posters.

Sweet Dee wasn't the only one by any means.

Lol. I'd walk away from the game if we recruit this tool. Deadset douch

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Btw, what exactly is a Heretier Lumumba?

Don't let facts get in the way of a good argument...!

Damn I am looking forward to some humble pie!

The big H will be good for the MFC, whatever his name is. La Bamba?

I'm looking forward to seeing him play in the red and blue, I hope he does a few post match press conferences as well. Might make them easier to listen to.

yeah he does. How big a deal do we make about it. I mean he will be running out having not played a senior game yet. Do we just stick it on the banner and say yep 200 games is a good milestone.

Anyway im looking forward to seeing what he brings to our backline. At least he is a runner so we may get it out of the 50 quicker.

How about we win Round 1 for a change .... that would be a pretty good celebration of the 200 and his first game with us (provided he is in the team ... not injured etc)

Right...

I think I know who's all puff and bluff here...

Jonno Brown really was puff and bluff - if only he showed some heart and aggression at the man and contest he could have been an ok footballer.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
