Whelan spoils a mark in the backline - "make him captain!"

Grimes hits a player on the lead on a wing - "make him captain!"

Beamer puts in a hard tackle - "make him captain!"

Sylvia crunches Nick Maxwell - "make him captain!"

Brock gets another clearance - "make him captain!"

Jamar ties his shoelaces correctly - "make him captain!"

Newton kicks a goal for Casey - ...nah, best leave that one.

In all seriousness, every time an MFC player does something worth some mild respect, do we need to anoint them captain?

Its tiresome and idiotic.

    Brad Green plays roughly his 80th consecutive consistent match, showing the most leadership of any MFC player on the field, reaffirming that he is the best player on our list as well as our best leader - make him captain.

    Green is doing things now that he didn't do at the beginning of his career, but he was never soft. Bruce was soft and still is soft, but Green was never soft.

    I didn't say that Green was "soft", but what I do say is that he's stopped that, 'just getting cheap easy kicks stuff' & has lifted his workload & hardball gets & leadership qualities plus to top that off he's absolutely committing his body over the last 2 seasons.

    Not only is Brad Green courageous, talented and inspirational, he is an exceptional young man with good manners, a beaming smile and patience. He is a fine role model for children, and a leader in every sense of the word. I would applaud a decision to make him captain after James McDonald retires.

    You forgot Stefan Martin's great goal. :lol:

    He and Davey are our only two elite or near-elite players. What a champion Greeny is. Six more games for 200. Legend.

    Little off topic but i could not believe when Lloyd hooked Frawleys arm and dragged him down on top of him Frawley didnt get the free kick. The umpire clearly saw it as he told Lloyd thats why he didnt get the free. If frawley hooked lloyds arm like that there would of been a free paid. Resultant throw in was a goal too.

    That's a great point miller time, and I missed the significance of it at the time.

    as pointed out, he is one of if not our best on field act, and as you say probably our best off field individual.

    i dont see how anyone can be given the captaincy next year apart from him. given form, role in the team and the direction we want the group in he is the logical fit. if mclean hadn't missed two years and suffered a decline in form this may be a topic for debate but for the time being green is the only reasonabe fit.

    I also wish to pay tribute to Brad for a great act of courage. Certainly the equal of Reiwoldt and J. Brown's legendary great marks, except in Brad's case, he actually got clobbered(virtually tunnelled, anyway, by a guy who saw him coming and ducked....didn't want the ball as much).

    Though Brad was running with the flight, he was the one who kept his eye on the ball. The on-coming Essendon player , in my opinion, infringed, because he elected to protect himself, and took Green out, legs first. Yes, too technical to be definitely defined as "dangerous play"(tunnelling"), but I reckon worth the mark being paid or a free to Green. And what an inspiring goal it would have resulted in!

    This act of sheer guts was perpetrated by a guy who's already suffered a severe head injury this season! I'm full of admiration.

    I'll admire Ablett, Franklin, Pavlich ,Fevola , Didak etc in the same way when I see them do it, but I haven't yet. With experience, it's possible to foresee and avoid such incidents. I have the same respect for Bartel, Reiwoldt , Rivers and J. Brown as I have been developing for Green.

    He should be skipper for 2010. He's been setting the example for years now.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
