When playing at North - hate his stupid run up, hate his flopping for frees, hate how straight of a kick he is for goal and I hate his stupid hair cut.

Now that he is pretty much going to be a Demon - the run up is perfect and genius, those free kicks are always there and he gets a poor run from the umps, he is a beautiful set shot and I wish I had a hair cut like his.

Nek minut Dees ruck coach shortens his run up for goal, umps don't pay him the obvious free kicks and gets made an example of by the match review as they try to stamp out flopping for frees one week and is reported and harshly suspended, cannot hit the side of a barn all of a sudden and gets a buzz cut at Salem's Salon in the preseason and can't mark anymore because like Soloman all his power came from his long locks of hair.

Because Melbourne.

    It’s funny how that happens. There are several players over the years who I’ve really disliked, only for them to join the Dees and then they’ve become some of my more favoured players.

    Remember that West Coast hard-nut who joined us about 15 years ago - I can’t remember his name (Phil?), but I used to loathe him, and then he joined the club and I absolutely loved him.

    'Philthy' Phil Read!  Legend!

    I felt the same about Garlett - hated his sheep dogging ways out the back of packs, then when he came to us I was happy to argue that he was a smart player who knew where the goals were!

    Jeffy Garlett - I didn’t dislike him at Carlton, but I loved him in the red and the blue.

    Jordan Lewis, Byron Pickett and Gary Moorcroft come to mind.

    Bernie Vince is possibly my favourite ever Demon.

    Melksham and Hibberd are also two players whom I used to dislike, who quickly turned it around in the affection stakes.

    No way. Not possible to dislike the Melk.

     

    That’s what the coach must think after the season he had and still didn’t get dropped.

    Byron Pickett was one tough Hombre. Some of his hits were Brutal! Anyone got any handy footage?

    I find it hard to dislike players we traded out. Jesse, Kent even Watts when he had that blinder against us in round 1 2019 I couldn’t bring myself to curse him. The exception is Scully. Can't stand him.

    I tried to resist, but no... it was NOT Soloman, it was Sampson, Homer Sampson!!

    Naysayers need to watch the highlight vids. Accused of being a one-trick pony but finds space, arms outstretched, and can kick them from all points. Moreover, plenty of roved goals and sweet snaps, and has greater agility than all of TMac, Weideman and Hogan. Also happy to see a couple of holding-the-ball decisions in his favour in that highlights package from last year.

    Unfortunately we don't see those bumps and hits anymore. 

    Loved Byron.

    Scully? Don’t recall him playing for Melbourne. My only memory of him is as a fringe player at Hawthorn.

    Posted in the last 10 minutes fwiw.

    If so, we obviously don't think we can get the Phillips deal done, or we prefer Polec as a player. Probably fair enough too.

    I think Polec is more damaging with ball in hand.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
