Green Staying a Demon

Featured Replies

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:

how old are you?

Melb was offered Sydney's pick, but he wanted to stay in Vic.

This is definitely good news. Part of a good club culture involves having players playing out (and wanting to play out) their careers at the club. Green's a bloody good player too. Agree - give him the Captaincy. Brock as VC.

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.

Yeah it is, I really liked it when CC spoke of how Green was very open and honest.

Good news.

He is an absolute gun.

 

The Hun is claiming that Green has re signed.

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


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.

Absolutely, no way he can be Captain now.

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.

Absolutely, no way he can be Captain now.

Macca will and always would be Baileys first choice as Captain, if you ever get a chance go to the change rooms before a game and see for yourself

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

We couldn't get the deal that we deserved and he has done this with class.

Due diligence from everyone concerned.

He can not captain next year.

Simple as that.

Well spoken Rogue.


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!

Happy to keep him in the end! Would have liked to get a top 20 pick for him but never mind. Brock for Captain no doubt.

It aint so bad because we did'nt pick up any crap! Glad they got that right!

 
it seems some of the saints fans rate him fairly highly and i also see nasher has paid a little visit to saintastional if u read the link

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
