As the start of the 2009 season approaches, I thought this is worth another look.

I still tear up every time I see this.

    Great memories.

    Unfortunately Green has shown in the 9 years since that at best he can pinch hit up forward from time to time but cannot cut it full time up there. He's been a great servant to the Club and has adapted his game to the tough demands of the contest.

    That was nice. Bruce and Green dominated those highlights. Nice memories for sure and I hope like you all do that we see games like that with the latest batch of youngsters in the coming years.

    Neale Daniher made a decision circa 2002/3 that Green was too talented to play simply as a forward and turned him into a midfielder who had occasional stints up forward.

    I'm not all that sure that Green's days as a forward are over. As our young midfield talent develops he might find himself there as a third forward - he's definitely capable of kicking goals.

    I think Brad Green will play forward a lot this year. He is a beautiful accurate kick when he connects sweetly, He wants to play in September again & why not. The more goals he kicks the better the chance. Big year for Brad i predict.

    The thing I really liked about that clip was his attack on the footy in a contested marking situation. As a short, playing "tall" in the forward line, I think he can do more than pinch hit and he is perhaps our most accurate kick. If Beamer, Bucks and Jones can stand up this year, not to mention Chook, I think that he can run forward of the ball and be a damaging forward.

    Such an attack on the footy is innate and is not lost just like that.

    Greeny is one of my fsvourites in terms of "grunt'.

    I was there! Brings back great memories.

    If only we could have some experiences like that all over again!

    Up there with our finals win over Carlton in 1994 and our win against the Eagles at Subi in 98. Great moments in our history.

    Great day that one. I'll be happy to see Green leading the way when-ever and where-ever needed. Reckon he'll relish it.

    nothing better then a win over that mob!

    Did anyone else think that we out numbered them at the game that day? Where did all these "loyal" supporters go?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
