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.

 

I still dislike melksham

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.

    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
