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

I still tear up every time I see this.

those were the days..... not far away in the future !!!!! :wub:

I just got that warm Tingly Feeling inside watching that. Sitting there with my Dad at the end of the match waiting to find out who our opponent would be! Go Demons. Miss Peter Walsh, He wasn't Flashy but he had Guts.

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'.

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.

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?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
