And in Kosi, hopefully we have a fine young padawan to learn under the tutelage of a master.

Last one we had, that really worked was Byron in 2006. No one would go near him that season!!

 

Until this point, the MFC has kept Harley pretty well shielded from the media glare, so his interview earlier today was one of the few times we've actually heard him speak.

A few other key things I took away from the interview with Harley:

1.  He is clearly someone who loves footy and playing footy;

2.  When he spoke of the emotional response of those close to him about the news of his selection, it's pretty clear how much playing again means to Harley and he seemed genuinely greatful to the MFC for the oppertunity to have another go;

3.  People often question Goodwins worth.  It's well acknowledged that  one of Goodwin's strengths is to build strong relationships with his players.  To hear Harley speak of Goodwin as being like a father figure to him outside of the game, to me having that kind of respect from your players is exactly one of the qualities which good senior coaches have.  I also got the impression that this life mentoring from Goodwin has been one of the keys to Harley getting back to where he is now.  Just imagine if he got that sort of guidance and made that kind of connection with Guy MeKenna and others at Gold Coast - his career might have turned out quite differently.

Can't harley wait (excuse the pun) for his imminent selection announcement.

HB has put a big effort in getting himself to this point. And I'm enormously proud of the Dees fitness gurus, coaches & players for getting him to this point..

Someone earlier mentioned it would make the basis of a film rivaling Rocky.

First a granny then we'll talk series

Very excited and hopefully it works out.         I Hope Reaction GIF by GIPHY Studios Originals


The only way this could get any more exciting is if Brett Lovett did the jumper presentation.

 

Wow my eyes got very glassy watching that. You can tell how hard it has been for him leading up to this. I know how amazing it would be to see him light it up on the big stage again, but I'm just genuinely happy to be see the bloke playing again. All the best Harley. 

Good thing I was chopping up onions when i watched that..


This is the good news story of the year, he was a risk and the club took him on under conditions that they set out for him which he has knocked out of the park. It’s a shame he won’t be able to make his Dees debut in front of a roaring crowd but I can wait to see him in the red and blue.

I hope all goes well for Harley. and he is working hard, as all can see. 

Often,  when all goes well for talented type players who have strayed off line in their past,  the real challenge comes after things start going right.  When all and sundry start putting them up high  pedestals. 

Often, when the pain of disappointment that has driven them to work diligently fades,  EGO creeps in.  Which can derail things.

 

I want him to do really well.   Lets hope he can manage the pressure,  if this happens.

Harley will be on SEN tomorrow morning with Garry & Tim. I'll post the audio once it drops. 

 

Thanks DL 

has anyone put Josh Mahoney on SEN I think today by any chance?

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.

The big if is will his calves hold up. If he does remain injury free fit he will be a gun week in and week out.

And totally agree he could really change our fortunes. I have followed the club a long time. In term of recruits probably only Peter Moore comes close in terms of potential impact on our team. 


Boys if he can stay un-injured he will be a massive boost for us. The dude can definitely play some damn good footy. So happy for him.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
