Bruce named 'Worst on Ground' on Triple M

Recommended Posts

Bruce wasn't the worst, but Boyd was close to the best, and Bruce's disposals had little impact. I miss 2002-2004 Bruce, owned the corridor, occasionally kicking bags of 5 or 7 and winning games. He gets it now and runs in circles, and when he does decide to get rid of it, he misses targets.

he is massively over-rated. thats why he got votes from MMM.

they give votes out for that according to the players who play miles below their reputation. bruce has a great reputation.......and yet cannot kick a footy. his action is completely [censored] up - he drops the ball from too high and at an angle. it works sometimes but you can always tell just by where his arm is if its going to hit a target or not.

he is rated highly cos he runs hard (admirable) and gets 30+ touches every week. but he is just a running link up player - no more, no less - who cant actually kick the footy that well!!

Yup.

And we named him Captain. :blink:

I thought Captains were supposed to have the ability to lift and inspire their teammates, a la Lyon and Neitz.

So really, you are saying that Dean Bailey has got no idea.

Cos not only has he given votes to Bruce for Sundays game, he would have had a big say in making Bruce captain.

And to think Yze_Magic, you have been a fan of Baileys throughout his stint as Melbourne coach.

How things change.

Come on, Ash.

As a neutral observer, you must sit back and laugh that we have named him as Captain. You must think to yourself 'typical Melbourne'.

And you just giggle and think its no wonder they havent won a flag since 1964.

Its ok, I don't blame you.

1) If we are to believe what has been written, maybe Cam himself. And as far as offending, any young impressionable demonlanders may actually get sucked into your senseless and illogical ranting. Usually it's SO far into fantasy-land that we needn't worry, but what you write about Cameron masquerades as being sensible... which, I fear, may have a detrimental effect on the reputation of one of MFC finest players of the last ten years, especially among the young uninitiated demonlanders...

.

What, a bloke thats on 500K a year cant take some criticism from a payed up member? I pay a portion of his salary, so I will get stuck into him or any other player on the list if I feel like it.

You should know that nobody is more positive about the MFC than me. Just cos I am not overly happy with a player who is now our highest paid and is somehow named skipper, who butchers the ball every time he gets it and avoids all physical contests.

I am realisitic. I call it how I see it. What can I say.

Just wondering who your choice would have been at the time, remembering all the pre season goings on doubt there was much of a choice, players earn the respect of their peers.

I truly believe rewards like captain are earned and not just for your or for your football abilities or how much you earn as a player and unless we are privy to the complete goings on at the club.

AS for comparing to Neita or Gazz to the current co captains, sorry but we do not have that luxury at present to have a person of those cmplete qualities blind freddy can see that and as for his supposed salary of 500k per year well we have to pay a large percentage of our cap so who else pre season was worth it

hahahaha the over inflated self importance is very amusing. I pay your salary I can get stuck into who I want! That’s a brilliant attitude.

If he is on $500k and you have say a Chairman’s Membership, that is worth $830 but lets make it $1000 you pay of his salary. That is .02% of his salary, I'd suggest you have reached and exceeded your limit of stuck in-ness for the season

Good to see the Triple M boys have clue about footy.

Everyone who voted in the Demonland Player of the Year inclued Bruce in the votes. LOL. How predictable.

Stats mean nothing, especially when your disposal is the worst in the AFL. Must be traded at years end.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Hurry up mods, you are a bit slow on this one!

Heaven forbid there be some negative comments about one of our beloved Demon players!

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
