    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
