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.

    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: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
