I know it's been mentioned in passing in other threads. But, on the eve of "H's" debut for us, and his 200th AFL game, I reckon he deserves a thread of his own.

Just watched his Press Conference. What an impressive young man! Very pleased to have him at the MFC, and really hope he turns it on big time tomorrow!

There's also a really nice highlights video on the MFC website. Even includes Bucks commenting on "H" reaching the 200 milestone. Good stuff! Bucks tells the story of how he apparently turned up at Collingwood from Perth, and pretty much begged them to give him a go. Very reminiscent of our own Shane Woewodin all those years ago.

A terrific "get" for the MFC!

Go Dees!

Must be a bittersweet moment for him. 200 is such a great achievement, but without any of his black-and-white teammates around him - not even Dawes!

I reckon it'll just give him even more reason to go out there and be explosive. I'm quietly hopeful he'll drag the rest of the team with him, but the last NAB match doesn't fill me with confidence.

Wishful thinking! When was the last time a Collingwood person did anything classy?

My husband did - he married me!! And he will be there with me tomorrow at the G.

So in another 20 games we can call him 'Heavy Harry"?

(That may be too obscure for Victorians aged under about 65.)

I'm a Victorian and past 65 "M". You have left me feeling extremely obscure.

But I'll get over it.

220 games doesn't equate to a ton. So I'll move on.

I will admit I was apprehensive last year when he was recruited but after seeing him train and his performances in the NAB games,I'm nothing but excited to have him play for us.Go Prince!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
