He plays an intellectual game, but rarely a physical one. He gets to the right positions on the ground & follows instructions well, & a lot of easy ball. thats fine as long as he goes in 7 risks his body like we expect the others to do, if not, he's not a captains jockstrap.

he hasn't got the body for a physical game, he was, with Green and Morton our best on Sat, its out of him and Green who wins the B&F. Bruce slightly in front because he's played every game

Can you imagine Yze_Magic if Bruce actually wins the B & F!!!

The closest player we have to an "A Grader". Would be there if not for his questionable kicking and his inability to kick his 1 or 2 goals each week.

who gives a rats tossbag what Y_M thinks

Rubbish,he's bigger than Brad Green, & about 10 times bigger than Robbie Flower was when he played.

Your just looking for excuses for him, he's a fair player who I picked many years ago when he was a supplementary list player for Melbourne & I thought we've got a goodin here, but he was taught poorly whilst at Melbourne.

He can still play a little bit, but nowhere near what he coodabin!

I dont want him delisted, i think he still has plenty to offer. HF link up with odd run in the midfield type player.

I just believe the captain has to be a leader of men. The guy that puts his body on the line at every oppourtunity.

Sets the tone.

Unfortunately Cam has learn`t the art of avoiding the contest and hey, with his injuries and build it`s probably a good idea.

You just can`t expect the young blokes to always GO if their leaders arn`t

The captaincy should be taken out nof the players hands. It`s not a popularity contest.

IMO it`s the coaches job

I thought he played well on the weekend and hope he keeps it up.

I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere previously, but Bruce has played most of the year with shin splints and has at times been on crutches after a game. Anyone who has ever had this affliction knows how painfull it is. If you don't believe me, checkout the footage in the rooms at the end of a few games. It speaks volumes about his character and perhaps the other players and the coaches may take a bit more notice of that, rather than the characters on websites.

Yes well aware of all that and yes he pushes himself with sore legs. I`ve thought thats probably the reason his kicking has been so bad and haven`t commented on it because of that.

But thats not the issue here.

I don`t respect him any less because of the way he plays.I admire anyone that can play the game at the top level (except Courtney Johns)

I just don`t believe IMO he should be captain.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
