18. Brad Green [184cm 83 kg 13.03.81 - 186 games (20 in 2008) 227 goals (20 in 2008)] – the club’s best, most consistent and versatile performer over 2008 was called upon to fulfil a number of roles during the season.

Missed out on selection in the initial leadership group, an error that was rectified in mid season. Would be one of the main candidates for the skipper’s role for next year.

    Thats if he is still at the club. I think he was our best for the season and too lose him would be devastating for the club. I think he would make a great role model for young players at the club

    I think captaincy would bring the best out in him and keep him in the fold. He is certainly ahead of the other options for star class and durability. He has proven his courage, is level headed and versatile. There, I've just talked myself into it... "Green for Skipper".

    Pretty good season in a poor season. Deserves 1st or 2nd in the Best & Fairest.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
