He didn't dish it, he pushed and shoved. For a guy known as the ox, big and strong, it was weak and he knows it. I was 15 metres from the Long hit on Snake Simmonds. I thought he was dead. Unfortunately no one else did anything to retaliate. It is the only time I have been disappointed with the Ox. If not for 3 knee recos, we would be talking about him as Carey number 2.

I met Long a couple of years ago and told him he was a great player, except for that incident. He said he could have killed him and was happy he was ok.

You are spot on there, we were embarrassing and did nothing to fly the flag for our teammates. That was a dog act by Long to target a player with his head down over the ball and to smash in to him that way was as low as anything I've ever seen on a football field. 

The Melbourne players didn't give a yelp and just let it go, I went to that game expecting we would get beaten but not humiliated.

On Jack, he is a very good player and always has been, but for some reason gets targeted by a large section of the Demonland posters, some of whom wouldn't have a clue. He has had his share of injuries and if he isn't BOG in his first game back he cops both barrels

He has copped more criticism than the majority of the other players combined, except perhaps James Harmes.

It amazes me that some posters on here just come on to rubbish the players without knowing what their role is in the game.

Who’s the player we hope Jack makes cry in the granny? I’d hope that early match he lays a strong tackle on Bont that has us feeling the aftershock tremors here in Melbourne.

Libba and Weightman. Hate them both and both are crucial to the Dogs winning.

Libba because he has really [censored]  tattoos that for some reason really bother me. Weightman because he plays for free kicks and has a really punchable head. Other than that let the doggies play. We’ve got them covered.

Will be interested to see weightman factor in this game, it's obviously something that will have been mentioned to the umpires, so it could backfire hard on him. 

I also think they'll be on the look out for anything dodgey towards Gawn, so in the confusion i'd love to see us do the same thing to Bont, the Giants did it

stop in one fell swoop - free kick to BBB in the goal square

Cody Weightman is definitely a contender, Bailey Smith I’d throw in as well. I’d also love to see one of our defenders smash Hannan (very fairly though) I’ve got no hate towards Mitch but it’s about letting him know that while you have mates off the field at the Dees, on field it’s fair game. 

I think I’m right in saying there’s practically no Melbourne player left in the squad who played with Stef Martin.

Rather than hoping he belts someone, it would be better to hope he plays a full game like his PF first half. That would be an enormous start on a win.

Agreed. Another thing is he needs to do is control his aggression. In particular he needs to cut out the 'flying the flag' nonsense once we already have the free kick.

His work at the stoppages recently has been excellent; when you're on a good thing stick to it.

Weightman and Hunter, if they duck into a tackle rip their [censored] heads off.

All the above are good nominations...Bailey Smith for me.

Could be an award winning photo if someone catches it perfectly, hair flying all over the place.

Just an aside for the Umpires. Jack will not be hunting players.Just the ball with his mind.

Just for a complete change of topic, this talk of Jack Viney got me thinking about something entirely different, and nothing at all to do with Jack Viney.

 

THE LEGEND OF THE GOLEM

Steeped in Jewish folklore, the basic story of the golem typically follows a given path: a highly intelligent, learned person — usually a rabbi — creates a being out of clay to serve the Jewish community. That being is then given a sort of quasi-life after a person carves or otherwise installs a mystical phrase like the secret name of God onto the creature's body. It awakens as a golem. Though silent, it's tremendously strong and not terribly thoughtful. Often, something goes awry, like a poorly worded command, and the golem turns from a helpful protector to a community menace. Its creator is then forced to put the creature down, often by altering its life-giving inscription.

As the story generally goes, Rabbi Loew created the golem to serve the Jewish community of 16th century Prague, which was beset by antisemitism. He took clay from a nearby river and built the golem, inscribing emet on the creature's forehead. The golem went on to do both mundane and wondrous things, from protecting the people in the Jewish ghetto to summoning the spirits of those who were long dead. Eventually, the golem went on a rampage, tearing apart the Jewish community, and Loew was forced to smear the clay inscription to met [i.e., destroy the golem].

 

 

I'm sensing a rampage tomorrow night in Perth, and hopefully our coaching team have the magical inscription to bring the golem back under control after the match is over. Not that this has anything to with Jack Viney.

We are societal story tellers @Mazer Rackham - love your work. It's better than grand final replays that never involve the Dees.

    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
