Jeez you guys are a loyal lot.

Green wanted to jump from our sinking ship but no-one else wanted him.

He didn't want to be a Dee next year.

No wonder his teamates don't rate him as a leader,leaders don't bail when the going gets too tough.

He tried to bail.

He was my favourite player,now he can go to hell.

Yeah it is always that simple.....

But with an attitude like that you can go there first :angry:

Listening to SEN Connolly said Green was very open and honest about his thoughts. He maintained to the club all week that he would never leave unless we got compensated and that he only wanted to leave if the club thought it was in his and their best interest.

Green listened to offers from the Hawks, Pies, Swans and Power. Turned down all four.

In short.... grow up buddy.

What i heard on SEN actually made me respect the guy a bit more (assuming its true) and i ws hoping we'd get a decent pick for him, but now i'm glad he stayed.

Brock for captain though, no contest

Sounds like a sensible position from both the club and the player.

Forgive me, the AFL and club websites don't work on my computer. Has Green officially resigned or agreed to do so?

"MELBOURNEfc is pleased to announce that Brad Green has agreed to terms on a new three year contract with the Club."

It also refers to him as 'Newly signed'. So I think he has officially re-signed.

The Hun is claiming that Green has re signed.

Regardless of the outcome, I dont think Green is a front runner for the Captaincy

Thanks Rhino and titan. Good news indeed. And Rhino, I'm with you on the captaincy front.

Here's an announcement by the mfc I received by email this afternoon, thought I'd share it with you all: -

Green Commits to Demons

MELBOURNEfc is pleased to announce that Brad Green has agreed to terms on a new three year contract with the Club.

Green's new deal comes off the back of another remarkably consistent year for the 27 year-old, in which the versatile Demon finished third in the Club Best and Fairest - his fourth consecutive top five finish in the award.

In a deal that will see Green remain at the Club until 2011, General Manager of Football, Chris Connolly said, "We are really happy that we were able to come to terms with Brad on his new three year deal.

"It did take us longer than expected, but we respect the fact that this was a big decision for Brad, and we are pleased that he will now become a ten year player for this team, and most likely a one-club man.

"Not only has Brad been a sensational player for the Demons, but his leadership around the Club will be vitally important as we develop and nurture our young group of players."

Newly signed Demon Brad Green said, "This was a really important decision for me, and I wanted to take the time to make sure I was making the right choice for my future.

"I am now relieved I have made the decision to stay and look forward to being a Demon for life."

Green, taken with selection No. 19 in the 1999 National Draft was recruited from the Northern Bombers in Tasmania. He has played 186 games, and kicked 227 goals for Melbourne.

On a positive note:

Connolly also said he was confident the relationship between the Demons and Green would continue to be strong.

"It was always an outstanding [relationship]," he said.

"We've always been up front and honest, and I think Brad got to the stage of his career at 27 where it was a very important contract in his life, and he had to look at the opportunities in terms of winning a premiership or whether to become a leader of a club that's rebuilding itself.

Can't blame a guy who is getting towards the end of his career while at a Club that's bottoming out - everyone wants to win a premiership.

For his sake and ours, let's hope he can do a Crawf.

Confirmation from Connolley "Sydney had a strong interest and there was an early draft pick linked into that, and that got played out in the end." Sydney offered pick 16 as part of the ROK deal. I'm glad at least 1 opposition AFL coach rates Greeny at somewhere near his value. :lol: I think in the last 2 years theres been less stand out games but an overall much more consistent standard from Brad. Hopefully this'll continue for the next couple of years at least, because it'll be at least that long before we'll start to see consistency out of younger players.

But Sydney don't have pick 16, Hawthorn do.

I am not quite sure how to feel to be honest. I am stoked he is staying because he really has shown the last 2 years that he can play some inspiring footy which is great to have around so many kids. On the other hand, he obviously was more than happy to walk from the club if the right money came his way. It didnt! So now he has to face the playing group at training on Monday with the whole group knowing very well that he was pretty much selling out! ROK will feel the same wrath if he stays at Sydney but more than likely he will end up at carlton in the PSD you would think.

I rate Greeny`s efforts the past 2 years I really do. He has surprised me with his run at the ball and lack of fear at running into packs. He is one of the only blokes to do it at Melbourne on a regular basis. This is team lifting stuff and can win games of footy by inspiring his teammates. I do worry about the reactions of how some of the players will feel towards him now. I am also wondering if what kept him at the club was an offer of co captaincy or at least VC. That might have been enough to sway him.

Anyway, I am sure that when he starts running into packs and doing the courageous acts we saw this year that the playing group won`t give a rats arse that he contemplated leaving. If Green is playing as well as he has in the past 2 years in a crap side I shudder to think how good he may become in 2 years time when this side starts showing it`s potential. Welcome home Brad!

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
