Taking HB was always a risk but one worth taking imo. 
 

He cost us nothing to get him and he is being paid as a rookie. 
 

If he plays for us it’s a bonus and if he doesn’t at least OUR club has supported him and given him the opportunity. 
 

We all just need to stay positive and hope for the best. 

 

As we've seen with these sorts of injuries it takes a lot of time and there are ALWAYS setbacks. Good examples being Viney who only just now seems like he's got his foot right (touch wood) and AVB who just had another set back on Friday night.

The guy is 27. Its a set back not a tear. Give the lad time (even if the media wont)

I think HB will be indefinite until he has a good 5-6 weeks of solid running.  It is a risk but I feel Goody is a genuine guy who is trying to resurrect Harley and give him every chance. For the good of MFC but importantly for Harley as a young man. 


Setback could mean a tightening to a full tear. 
he would have been super lucky if he had no setbacks. I hope it’s more tightening than a strain/tear.

Lyon deserves more credit than some of us are providing...I'd take his word on this one.

To be fair to Ross, he always backed HB, said he was a good bloke and the media narrative wasn't definitive. Ross for all his faults backed his players.

I did not express that, but it remained unstated. That is one of the traits for which I have generally admired of Ross Lyon.

I think he'll need to build more muscle on his frame, all over.???   Maybe up to 10%.?

And start to do some training/Walking in beach sand, to aid muscle growth in the legs. 

To aid the surgery he's had  which removed some muscles and tendons.

I suspect that his surgeon and our new fitness team will have a plan.  Perhaps beach walking isn’t the answer, or not yet.  

Get him into the pool and on the bike big time......

But I fear.. will never play another game!

Given what we paid for him, I reckon it's a great pickup for us, even if it's just seeing how the rest of the team is getting around him. We are building a culture!


Setbacks will happen with him, as it happened before. It’s about minimising the damaged and ensuring those setbacks are only minor so the recovery time reduces to more manageable levels. 

FWIW I think we’ll get games out of him, the challenge will lie in managing recovery and in game fitness. 

Whatever happens I’m glad we’re supporting him.

Gee, imagine our culture if we got around Ivan Milat, Harvey Weinstein and Bojack Horseman.

I reckon the. Players on less than $80000 shouldn’t have the same reductions as the others.

Absolutely it should be a sliding scale. Top earners (Dangermouse, Reiwoldt, Buddy, Dusty etc) should be showing leadership in this regard to help out their fellow players that are earning base salaries. Totally understand they're feeling a pinch as well but jeez there are others out there doing it a whole lot tougher.

HB will now have the time to really heal. All going well he will be worth a lot more when this madness is over.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
