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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      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.
