Any news on Leigh this year? Will he play?

    Welcome to Demonland, dude. Leigh should be 3 weeks away from returning from a back injury, so too late for a run in the NAB Cup.

    I imagine he'll head straight to Casey and probably spend the season there unless we really start struggling with injury or he's kicking bags of 4-6 every game.

    Cheers Yossarian. I had high hopes for him. He looked really good on you tube clips and pretty hot with Norwood last year. Dees have been lacking a Guy like him for many years so much so as a part of me had FEV on the 2012 wish list. Not to be :) Probably for the better. Like the look of Williams though. Looks a GUN!

    I love your optimism - really typical of us Demon tragics at this time of year - but one would have to say it is a huge journey from suburban footy to the AFL. But then, look at Jeremy Howe.

    I would see his rookie listing as very highly speculative but very low risk recruiting.

    I'll keep on dreaming! he's strong though and knows how to kick a goal. Melbourne have lacked this type of player. i.e. Fev types, Buddy, Clokey, J. Reivolt, iPod etc.....Hope he makes it!! Melbourne do need a Goal Kicker (to state the obvious) or to "someone who loves to kick a goal" i.e. Allen Jakovich. /fev hehe...go dees

    Yeah, Josh Mahoney went through it on SEN with the Ox.

    Horrid stuff, but it sounds like he should be ok.

    Josh actually said Leigh was at the movies with his girlfriend, and his body just started shutting down.

    He was wonky on his feet then lost the ability to speak.

    Said it was bloody scary for her.

    All the best - just recover. Footy comes a distant last in these situations. Puts life all into perspective.

    Terrifying thing to get. A friend of mine got it & was almost totally paralysed for 2 weeks. Could move eyes & eyelids, nothing else. Get well soon young feller.

  • Quote

    Let's hope they caught it early. The induced coma will take the work load off the brain hopefully and let him fight the infection.

    I hope we get a positive update soon.

    The most important thing is he gets back to full health, footy and fitness can wait.

    Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery Leigh, our thoughts are right there with you your Family and friends.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
