Surely Harley would be allowed to wear calf socks? I wore them for years as I had a tendency to strain my calves playing soccer and never strained again once I started wearing them.

That was post Bali. Not sure how many games he played afterwards (I thought only the one), but not sure if Harley would get the same approval from the league.

I may be wrong.

1 game only. Retired after the game.

A raised middle finger to the radical Islamic fascists who took all of those innocent lives. Remember that time like it was yesterday.

 

God bless the Nth Melbourne footy club for getting him back to a match fitness level that allowed a farewell game. Legend.


Looking at the vision of todays hit out, HB just glides across the ground. I wonder if Burgess has encouraged this gait or is it natural?

Reminds me of Andrew McLeod.


Play him.

Agree with Dermie about a midfield rotation spot to test the calf rather than starting forward. 

That sniper rifle on his right foot will be solid gold for Tom McDonald and Jake Melksham.

Hudson and Robbo really dislike each other. That’s clear. 
 

but I agree with the sentiment. Play him... if Tomlinson says he’s been hassling Goodwin by saying he’s right go then he’s too much of a talent to not include in the team. 
I said earlier this year that it doesn’t take Noongar lads long to regain fitness so I have full confidence he can play and contribute right now. I don’t think Bennell would put his hand up and place the team at risk if he’s unsure of his body. The fitness staff are obliged to put him thru the wringer to find out anyway and if that’s been achieved then it’s a no-brainer. 
 

He plays.

He looks as though he would be real [censored]## if they didn't play him.

I'd settle for half as many Norm Smiths.

Natural. A smoother mover you'd struggle to find. Andew Mcleaid is a very apt comparison.

I know I have banged on it about it and at the risk of being captain obvious this guy is total A grade. Elite. 

Easy to forget he was a number 2 pick. And before starting his shocking run with injury (compounded by off field dramas) he looked every inch worthy of that pick. 

Again I repeat myself but we have a team of butchers. Just look at the clips of of our scratch match. Butchers. 

Harley is a surgeon who I'f he plays will instantly become one of our 2 to 3 most important players.

Channel 7 Sport Report strongly suggesting he is playing.  Good times if so!!


Becoming very hard to control the excitement with all these reports. So many supporters excited by the prospect of Harley running out with us as early as next week, can’t even imagine how he is feeling.

Without the reserves as a guide to form it makes selection very interesting.

I've always hated it when people build up a bloke who has never played a game for us, but Jesus, I hope you are right.

Remember he has built himself up to match fitness before only to get injured again, but bloody hell his delivery skills would be a godsend for our ****ty inside 50's

 

Training and playing very different things as we all know, but in saying that i think play him, as many have said on here, his elite skills could make such a difference. its risk v reward, but that was the same as when we secured him, time to get the reward before the risk comes back.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
