    Bennell’s highly unlikely to play against Carlton - Tom Browne.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
