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'.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.
