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.

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.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
