This is very welcome news, especially for those who might have doubted his dedication. He may not play a game for us, but it seems he is not going to die wondering.

Onya bloke.

 

Well played. He is having a deadly serious crack at his last chance. 
Can’t do any more than that.

God informed Moses that he had tried the Israelites in his absence and that they had failed by worshipping the golden calf. ... As punishment, God struck the delegates with lightning and killed them with a violent earthquake. Moses prayed to God for their forgiveness.

They truly will be golden calves if they fully recover.

Daisy, could you also include the missing OT reference for this quotation? Book, chapter and verses, so we may make the appropriate inclusions to our holiday reading lists ... Thanks in advance TC.

TPF39, the festive season in your hood has clearly returned to its pagan origins, although it appears more sodom and gomorrah than yuletide!


That's good news, I'm sure it must've been a difficult decision but it shows his dedication. I hope he and his family have some good people to be around in the break period.

lol....had to google pentitude....

Good news.... & given he's had more opportunities than most other players, we shouldn't expect anything less from the player & the club.

Thank you DJ, that has clarified matters considerably. Unless there is a MFC premiership in the New Year offerings (or next), it may well be that any future scholarly research, will only be able to find brief references to demon flags in the Red Sea scrolls or other archaic sources.  Meanwhile we await with hope that  a new chapter will be written in the NEV.

That is a good decision considering the issues stem a lot from what occurs around the old stomping ground 

Nothing like the old stomping ground to cause a bit of Mischief.???

Good choice Harley, liking the attitude of been there done that, French Connectioned up won't be stepping foot there anytime soon.

Is this Uncle Bitter, in full ceremonial outfit being carried by his loving subjects across the manor Moat to yet another feast and opportunities beffiting a great man of his unique pulling power of the masses and not forgetting the fair ladies that reside in Romsey??

I know as the saying goes that you make your own, but surely we are due a bit of luck for something to turn out all right for once.

 

I am hoping Harley Bennell gets some luck his way.

 

He has a huge amount of talent and just needs to get through pre-season injury free.

 

He can do this if he listens to the medical staff and doesn't over exert himself. Let his body slowly build up steadily.

 

I like the suggestion of Harley Bennell trying out Yoga to help his posture. It's definitely worth a try at least.

 

 

I genuinely wish Harley Bennell all the very best and hope he can get the chance to run out onto the MCG to play for the Demons.

Bubona is the Roman cow Goddess who watches over and protects cattle.

Does she protect calves too?

 

Seriously though, this seems to be an indicator of his desire to leave no stone unturned - IF the fatted (or unfettered) calf comes to fruition then we could have unearthed a gem at little cost.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
