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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
