I was at training this morning and watched some match simulation. There was a five minute period where Bennell lit up the place. He definitely wasn't holding anything back today.

Fantastic news that Tom Browne is wrong again or Fantastic news about Bennell? Or Both!

Honestly, in an AFL media landscape overrun with nuffies, it's a genuinely impressive effort that he manages to still stand out as the nuffie king.

Apparently he's Jeff Browne's son, who's a highly influential figure at channel 9. Says a lot.

Harley on at 4:50 in the above...

… hard not to feel his excitement and determination to make an impact and pay back those who've supported his journey. 

Officially very excited to see him run out in the Red and Blue.

Just watching the way Harley caries himself in this interview, you can tell that he is a player that oozes confidence in his own ability as a footballer.  Even after all this time out, he seems 100% ready to go about business and put his talents on show for all to see.  Not in an arrogant cocky kind of way necessarily, but in a very self asured confident kind of way.  We haven't had too many players like that at the MFC.

So stoked that he has got this far, particularly given that some people thought the exercise was a complete waste of time.  Really looking forward to seeing Harley play again and even better it being in the red and blue.  Whether it's for 1 game or 100, I get the sense that it's going to be a great ride and as a supporter I'm just going to sit back and enjoy it without worrying how long it might last.

Wow! Good on him. Can’t fault his preserverence. I was one who said he wouldn’t play again, because of his injuries 

Happy to be wrong if he strings games together

Don’t think his Dad is with Nine anymore. He married one of the richest women in Australia, Rhonda Wylie, a few years ago.

Really great that Harley been rewarded and so well deserved.

its been a real team effort so far medicos coaches players and who knows what the result will be.

It just may be a defining moment in our journey and the team can start fulfilling its now huge potential.

This Round2 team is 5 goals better than Roind 1 in scoring potential!

Exciting times. One of the most gifted players to ever lace up a boot IMO. If he could remain injury free and get back to consistent football, he could really change our fortunes. Its a big "if", but he is now out there amongst it. So very happy and excited. Good luck to Harley.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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
