Brad Green

Featured Replies

6-8 Weeks. That's disappointing.

After that time he'll be back and playing at his usual best.

It's that type of injury where fitness is not an issue, it's more the confidence.

He'll be a bit weary to begin with, as Jeff White was after his horrible injury, so we'll need to be patient with him.

 
if any moron ever says that brad green is not tough they should be shot.

compare him with riewoldt (if it wasn't him i apologise but it was one of their young key forwards) on the members wing in the 3rd quarter. massive shirk. rivers gave it to him big time

brad has transformed himself from the double fist pumping skinny 18 y.o. that won us a QF into a tough courageous leader of our club. never should his committment be questioned.

Super post that. I also had to put up with listening to somebody behind me telling him to get up already, soft etc.. moron. Poor guy's head was probably ringing like anything, and he still got himself up and off the ground.. i'll bet most people in that situation would have gone stretcher.

I know I shouldn't laugh at players getting injured, but WTF?! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Probably wasn't reported very obviously in the Melbourne papers.....

But was an absolute classic.....

Neil Craig was not impressed by all reports....

 
I'm not blaming anyone. Injuries happen. Whether they're the result of a poor kick or not doesn't really matter in the end. I was just pointing out that the kick to Green wasn't good, had it been better he could have avoided what is a very unfortunate injury. Same with the kick to Robbo last year. Not sure why that is ridiculous?

If you want to avoid going hard into a contest then you play SOCCER!!

Bad kicks happen all day long.... What is Brad supposed to do?? "Oh well, didn't hit me on the chest" and leave it for the opposition?? Go and ask Brad if he blames his team-mates disposal for his injury

I think it may have been friendly fire too.....

Wasn't it Alex Rance from Richmond (#18)?


poor post .

ill second that , all the best Greeny

I didn't suggest either of those things. Never mind, all the best Greeny.

The sad thing is that compared to some of the extraordinarily brave thing s that he does every game, it was a fairly innocuous clash.

Great player, he will be missed.

FWIW, Peter Bruchner said it will be a minimum of 6 weeks probably much more

What exactly happened?

Green and Rance both went hard at a low chest mark running from opposite sides. I suspect Greenie's face collected Rance's head or shoulder. Rance looked seedy too, and didn't achieve much else during the game.

If it's a depressed fracture of the maxilla, it's usually 3 weeks max. They always predict more, but they come back early.


Good luck Greeny, could be our bigest individual loss. Hurry back!

It looked like the shoulder on the replay. It looked like quite a hard hit, so it might have caused a bit of damage.

A speedy recovery to Brad.

Yep - saw it on FOX replay and it was Alex Rance - sorry! My bad (I did say I think - guess I thought wrong!)

From where i was sitting (MCC seats ) Nathan Jones went for a horrible short left foot pass that didn't have enough on it which Greeny and Rance had to dive to and it was just a bad clash of heads. A shame that both players got hurt yet a very poor disposal from Jones.

From memory didn't Neitz dislocate his shoulder forcing a contest off Jeff Hilton a few years ago?


I think it may have been friendly fire too.....

It was right in front of me, I'm pretty sure Brad was crunched between two Richmond players. Very gutsy by Brad, he never pulled back when it was obvious it was going to be ugly. Melbourne won the ball and goaled shortly after.

He walked off, between two trainers with a cloth to his mouth. I hope it's not as bad as the early reports, for Brad's sake. Great courage, mate!

Brad Green is a gun and I can't wait to get him back

green is easily our best player and while this injury is bad at least it isnt a knee or worse - while on the subject, we really need to put brad green on the front page of demonland! i'm sick of looking at colin sylvia every time i come to this site (though he was pretty good today). anyway if anyone should be on that front page it should be brad green!! clearly the heart and soul of the demons!!

I wasn't able to make it to the game today but listened on the radio, for about 5 minutes after that the commentators couldn't stop talking about his courage and what a shame it was.

All the best Brad, i hope for the best but i'm expecting the worst.

Brad's act today was exactly what we want to see from every MFC player.................send the MFC website an email wishing him a quick recovery and a big thank you.............I am going to from work tomorrow as if I wait on my home machine I won't get to work.............let's show our appreciaition


Wonderful act of courage from an amazing (and unfairly underrated) player......

His skill, poise leadership will be missed on game days, he is our most important player right now.

But hopefully this awful injury will heal well, and he will recover, and re-gain his footing in the side as soon as he can.

Best wishes to you Greeny, you have all of our support for a speedy recuperation.

i'm sick of looking at colin sylvia every time i come to this site (though he was pretty good today)

Just bookmark the forums :P

He'll be out for a long time and I wish him a speedy recovery, very sad news to here.

His jaw will ache in the cold for the rest of his life.

What makes you say that?

I know a couple of people who have had their jaws broken during oral surgery and they haven't reported any aches post-recovery so I'm interested to know why you say that.

I know a couple of people who have had their jaws broken during oral surgery and they haven't reported any aches post-recovery.

I broke my wrist when I was a kid and it aches in the cold now......

Now that is probably because of the awful medical attention it got, but it still aches nonetheless ;) !!!

 

Hope he recovers soon - we need him back on the ground so that he can continue to be the great example of guts and endeavour that he is. (Not to mention that having a broken jaw probably isn't great for Green either).

P.S. What's up with the posters who are trying to turn Jones into Ted Striker? Shirley you can't be serious?

Never ceases to amaze me how few people in the football world ever admit fault. I would say a generous amount of 'landers, as well as the supporters of any club he ever kicked goals against, all claimed he was soft. And here we are, a few years down the track, and no-one is even willing to admit that they got it wrong saying he would never toughen up. Brad's attitude to the game has put paid to the theory that once soft = always soft.

This is our biggest injury this year, and even of Rivers were to take a game or two off with injury, it would still be our most telling absence.

Get well soon Greeny. You will be missed from the side by your mates and your supporters. Enjoy the warm well-wishes. You more than deserve it.

  • 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.
