make it clear that you are referring to Carmichael and not Jaydenย

Almost tempted to just sack him.

If I cost the organisation I work for $50,000 I would be sacked.

Harley also broke his promise not to touch alcohol when we recruited him.

I reckon Simon Goodwin would be filthy and so should Max Gawn and the rest of the players.

It's a pretty rubbish effort from him, but on the other hand the club has played him out for hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of marketing content, free publicity and so forth, so he's probably still in credit on the whole 'look at us, we're turning around the life of a troubled kid' story.

Imagine how many times we would've had to sack Garry Lyon and the players of his time, or Jack Watts, or... or... or... and so forth.

I can only imagine how gutted, disappointed and angry that Pert, Goodwin and Burgo must be. ย We gave him his final chance. ย 
ย 

He has responsibilities. ย His family. His future. Where else do you earn such $$$ and be do well looked after. Footy is a privilege and his talent might be wasted. ย Itโ€™s been a tough year but the rules are there to protect everyone.ย 
ย 

Itโ€™sย very sad.ย 
ย 

Big call by the club now. ย I think heโ€™s probably lost his chance.ย Iโ€™ll back the clubs decision either way. ย 


Club will keep him. If we dump him,ย some other club will pick him up as a low risk/high reward "free swing". We'll get to watch him tear it up after we put in the effort of working out his injury problem and solving it.

That will be the thinking anyway.

I think he's damaged goods in terms of being an AFL player. I don't believe any club will go near him after this incident. It's not as serious as the Stack and Coleman-Jonesย kebab incident but it's just as stupid.

The human in me says keep him, far riskier future for Harley if we were to drop him now.

ย 

The Football club administrator in me says cut ties with him. If we were a club with a strong culture that didnโ€™t need much maintenance you could probably carry him but the reality is weโ€™ve got a culture/environment that needs PLENTY of work so dedicating time towards getting a troubled 28yo right just isnโ€™t a sensible decision. ย The risk for MFC is far greater than the upside now with Harley.

May went drinking last season when he was injured. Did people call for him to be sacked? No. Yes it's a mistake, a covid breach and a costly on at that. He's been isolated in the hub without being selected for a number of weeks, not saying what he did was ok but he shouldn't be crucified either.ย 

Well now that he has been suspended and theย clubย fined, it is open for informedย comment.ย 
It is very disappointing for all concerned in this and especially as Harley was given a lifeline by the club, when his footy ย career appeared over. He is a husband and father and presumably this is his main source of income and to put that at risk is really unbelievable.ย 
FWIW I think they will give him a one year deal.

Completely different situation. Harley has form. May broke team rules, not league and state rules relating to Covid.ย 

Drinking is not illegal. Going outside of the hub to an authorized place is and puts at risk our entire club, not to mention the AFL.

Imagine he caught Covid, walked back to the hub and we made finals. Not to mention we are hubbing with another team who is in finals. It has disaster written all over it, which is precisely why the AFL is so hard on these breaches.ย

He has form in this area Mr. Leg. It is not the first time. ย Leopards and spots I think.ย 

Oh almost forgot we finished 9th did you notice.ย

Did he go back in the hub?

No he didn't, but I have no idea if it was because he was found out and then stopped. From what I read he's isolating in a separate hotel now.ย 

I doubt his plan was to leave the hub and not return, given his partner and baby are both still in there.ย

I did not think so but perhaps I am wrong.

My mail is this is not a story about 'booze', lets give it 24 hours before we assemble the bonfire, get some facts, the guy has been getting his running going again, has been a long way off sustaining his high intensity running and you would have to think with aย  preseason his numbers could be good. All season he did not breakdown or re injure himself. And if this incident does resolve around getting a bigger car and a car seat for a kid, while STUPID, is not the end of the world.

We need to get behind him. People are very quick to form a lynch party these days.

Understood, it's a different set of circumstances. I'm making a point of people are so quick to say sack him without knowing all of the details, and it is a huge double standard to have that attitude towards Harley and not Spargo, Kozzie, and to a lesser extent May last year. I for one hope we support Harley and don't abandon him, he's had troubled life and I'd like to hope we get around him and give him an opportunity to repay the faith we've put in him. Would be a shame for it to end like this

Nowhere near as bad as has been made out by a rabid and not very factually concerned media who only care about being first.

Bloke has made a mistake and owned up, story has been overblown though.

Good on ya for sticking up for him LN but please, it's not like he doesn't know the rules....The bloke's got history & was a bad decision to recruit him.....simple.ย 

oh maybe your right though & I'm sure the club would be stokedย paying the $50k from next years soft cap.ย ?

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
