    Off field isn't a concern for mine (as mentioned, he is now a dad).
    I just don't think he can get on the paddock.

      That should be his biggest challenge.

          Poor guy can't take a trick.


          I often wonder if it would be worse having a massive amount of talent and being constantly injured or having no talent at all?
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

              At this point, it should be a story that he's good to play.

                Wish granted.

                The playing group have just been told that Harley has been selected to play this week.

                Melbourne have put the video of his reaction on Twitter. Naturally enough he was very, very emotional.

                  My fingers are crossed for him. Really hope he gets through unscathed.
                  Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                        Wish him every success.

                        Hope he is able to maintain fitness and display his talent.

                            There have been good news stories with selection left, right and centre this week.

                            We've had Vandermeer given his chance and Lin Jong coming back after almost 2 full calendar years on the sideline.

                              Two years is a long time. I'm hoping Lin is going to come straight out of the blocks and play good footy. I think the shorter quarters will suit him, he gets to a lot of contests and runs away with the ball.

                                Bennell has played 5 games this year and is out of contract at the end of the season.
                                Certainly he was a risk worth taking for the Dees but I wonder if he gets another chance next season?
