Sorry for yet another thread on an already over-loaded board...

But I thought Brad deserved his own thread today. He's won over even the most hardened MFC supporters with his unselfishness, skill and heart in the last couple of years. Before yesterday's match I was willing to cut him some slack, given he was gone for the biggest break of his career to date, I believe. I thought maybe he'd need some time to get back to his best, especially given the fact his face was caved in, I'd imagined he might shirk a contest or two.

None of that though. Brad picked up exactly where he left off. 30 quality touches, courage, brains, all his best hallmarks. I don't know about all of you, but given the severity of his injury, I'm absolutely floored by the fact we didn't see any evidence of him being worried about his safety.

He just keeps impressing me does Brad.

 

Morning Dan! Up nice and early aren't we? I'm just about to go to bed... Thank god for Monday mornings off! ;)

Well...

Green, what a champ! Agree completely.

IMO Brad Green is our best player, and this week in talk of his return, i said i wouldn't mind him finding his feet and gaining a bit of confidence at Casey before coming back into the team. Just to err on the side of caution. But that would've been a complete waste of time! He slotted straight back in and didnt look like he'd even missed any footy, let alone having his face put back together. Was as hard and brave as ever. There's no player at Melbourne i admire more.

Ditto blokes. Makes you realise what a great contributor he has been over the journey. I too was anxious about him becoming a bit timid (like JW)... but he was deft and smooth as silk, as always.

 

He seemed to get better as the game went on and I'm surprised at the lack of recognition he has been given for his game yesterday. I thought he would be a little apprehensive, but not a sign of it and some of the spoils he did yesterday were sensational. If it wasn't for the Kid playing his best game ever he would have been our best by a mile.

Was a great game by Greeny, Pure courageous player, I never use to think so 3-5 years ago, but the last 3 years he has turned himself into a hard, courageous player, can't tip my hat enough to the bloke.

That was my take on it too Robbie. Thought there was some cobwebs early that got blown off as the game went on. Very pleasing game. IMO he's currently the best player on our list.

Green seems the ever reliable kind on our list now....he's kicks from half back line or centre to up forward are that much more important to the side.....before the injury I guess supporters like me just took it for granted. Well done Greeny, welcome back to the fold.

Ahhh, well noticed, but wrong... I'm currently in L.A.

Aaron Davey says hello...

I think based on the start of this season, Aaron has him beaten. But over careers, yes, it's Brad... Will be an interesting Bluey.

Davey to pip him on the back of a few more games played ;p

Green has played better than Davey.

Davey was in a purple patch of form, but got mostly soft touches and is now struggling when being tagged.

Brad Green is the only A grader on our list IMO, Davey could get there though


Fantastic, gutsy, team oriented return by Greeny. I know Robbo's 'epic' has been done to death elsewhere, but I can't think of two more contrasting contributions to the Melbourne cause on Sunday evening .... Greeny vs Robbo.

Deeoldfart - right on the money. Really pleased with green's form. Doing so many things rights on field. Cannot believe people have called him soft. Wonderful leadership regardless of not being captain.

Brad is our next Captain. Who else would play that well first Game back from a Broken jaw..What a GUN.

Agree with that.

I'd love to see him as a permanent full forward, now that Davey has developed as a midfielder.

i concur with all these comments - he's been terrific for three or four years now..........

Yeah, for that game he was...

???? Based on one game? Last weekend was the first time all year just about that he was beaten.

I think it's fair to say that. However, Davey has been better this year. Due mostly to the fact Green missed a few weeks with his injury. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Brad's played a bad one this year, but Davey has not been out yet... Otherwise, yes, I think on any given day when both get a full 120 minutes in, Green would be a fraction ahead of Davey... going on the fact he's just so consistent these days.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
