But seriously whats going on with his hair.

It`s starting to look really wrong.

Needs a makeover.

:lol: FFS don't worry about his hair, just worry about his football.

I dont want him delisted, i think he still has plenty to offer.

He is contracted until 2010, and I doubt he has any value at the trade table.

He's not going anywhere.

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.

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 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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.
