If it’s true that he hasn’t run for 6 months, it would not be difficult to see him missing most, if not all of the season.

Playing any games this year might be a bonus.

I agree Mr Leg if he makes it back it will be the greatest comeback since Lazarus. Perhaps a few games at Casey around late July.

Lazarus played for Fitzroy in the 1960s if I recall. I think a FF?  So for him to come back would be a miracle of biblical proportions.

Sadly I am old enough to remember him well mono. Was nothing flash but then at that time no one at Brunswick Street was much good either. They lost every game from mid 63 till the end of 64. A streak of 27.

Wish I looked that fit after doing no running for 6 months.

May has been pushing for Harley to get a gig and if he trains well and looks solid the dee's will be picking him up.

Hopefully May can keep Harley on the straight and narrow as the boys used to enjoy the lagers together on the GC.

It's amazing what bugs some people.  Take me for example, the way the social media person at the MFC uses the "+" symbol instead of the "&" symbol in every-f-ing-thing makes me wonder if we've had a work experience kid in at the club at some stage, and we haven't been able to get rid of them.

Are we red plus blue, or red and blue?

FFS.

PS.  Welcome back Harley.

Think it's a style thing that's developed over time, "+" looks better than "&" to the young-ins

There's a grammatical irony in this post, OD.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
