Poor choice by Harley and no doubt will suffer the consequences but a lot on here showing little knowledge on how addictions work and how hard they are to control.

    No you don’t because I don’t post my every inner thought on Demonland. 

    Just because you don’t deem this disease deadly enough for your liking, doesn’t mean that it isn’t extremely contagious, very invasive and does a lot of damage (even without death), and that thousands of cases would see our health care system collapse to the point where loads of people would die for lots of reasons, not just Covid. 

    People breaching the rules are selfish flogs. People who think they can visit their family because they feel like it, are selfish and are costing the rest of us our freedom.

    We all have to make sacrifices and do the right thing so that we can ensure our health care system can stay as good as it is, and so that we can save the lives of many elderly people, who you may not care about, but who all have families who love them and want them alive. 
     

    Support you 100%

    It's a Vic thing and we may only be in lockdown for 2 more weeks - but with relaxed integrations the numbers will increase and we'll be back in lockdown again.

    Of course he doesn’t. It’s all about him getting dirt published.

    I was just thinking the same thing, people never stop being addicts they are only recovering/recovered addicts. 

    It’s still a very disappointing situation to see Harley find himself in, there are a number of ways to deal with this so it’ll be interesting to see which way we go. I wonder if he was with any other players prior to him leaving the hub, if so why didn’t they stop him? 

    Second question is Harley’s partner and kid up there with him?

    Apparently in the hub with him. Or now they are and he isn't.

    Ralphy just cleared up the Bennell issue he evidently confused the Maroochydore hub for pub an easy thing to do after a few schooners.

    Yeah sounds like he started drinking in the hub. Ran out of booze, so went drinking outside the hub. 
    A bad look all around.

    I thought he wasn't suppose to drink he was not allowed. Poor form.

    Could someone please explain how the hub rules work...

    I was listening to SEN the last week and one of the players was out at a coffee shop getting his regular fix.

    Wish I could remember who it was....coffee or beer, either way you're not in a hub.

    Regularly frequents the coffee shop.

    Surely this is not how it works?

    He made a poor choice - we need to support him and give him a chance to redeem himself. I reckon they give him a contract with a clause if he breaks it again. We all deal with stress differently give the bloke a chance.

    Nope he has had his chances we extended  a life line when nobody else did he ignored it.  He is the problem unfortunetly he probably doesn't se it because he can play footy so sad.

    I say we move on

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
