Another Cam Bruce Thread

Featured Replies

Posted

Well done to Cam Bruce once again for another great game. For most of the year he has shown great poise, skill, hard running and leadership and I love the way he goes about his game.

Yes he turns it over from time to time but who doesn't at Melbourne. He has copped so much unfair criticism in the past but each week he just keeps going and is our most consistent performer again this year.

Its time a few of you critics accepted this!

 

Bruce's best game of the season for Melbournefc. What are his B&F chances?

Who are his critics Pello?

You could hardly fault his game yesterday, 37 touches and 85%-90% efficiency

HT there is one high profile poster on Land that consistently wants him delisted and there are others that I won't name. Just need to go back into past threads and you will find the answer.

All I'd like to see is some balance to the Bruce discussion and those that have had a crack at him in the past also concede that does continues to perform each week.

It seems we are so quick to want to delist any player at or over the age of 30 without any consideration to the value they add to the team. If they are playing well they deserve their spot on the list - its as simple as that. Also with all the kids developing we need some senior players as well to help and guide their development both on and off the field.

Back to back B&F's would certainly keep a few eating humble pie. Go Cam!

:lol: yeah I know. Just thought I'd stimulate the conversation, so we can remind all in sundry. :lol:

By the way he's not 30 yet.

It was a good disciplined game with very few errors. That is undisputed. There will always be someone to razz other posters.

Well done I was waiting for someone to start this thread.

I will call it

B & F CAMERON BRUCEEEE

He has been good most of this year and will be up there in the B&F. Would be more deserving of it this year than last year. How Brad Green didnt win it last year is still a disgrace in my eyes.

I'm a critic of his.

I also have a jumper with his number on the back of it too.

For me he is over rated, he was flying years ago and then the last few years has been quite average.

His disposal is poor to good, he went to playing a more outside game than he use to (but seems to be going a lot harder again thankfully)

But for some one who had great skills and talent galore he has not lived up to the standards he himself set years ago.

That hit from Guerra pretty much sent his career backwards.

He is touted as a captain and I personally have never thought he has shown enough to warrant to be a captain of the club and even when standing in over the last few years I have not seen anything to make me think otherwise.

I am happy that he was started to get back to that level and I hope he gets better again,

Is he a champion.....No.

Is he a great Melbourne player, yeah I'd stick him there, but not A Great.

 

Yesterday was by far and away his best game of the year.

To date this season he has been average at best, remembering that he has high standards to be held up to considering his form around '04 - 05'.

The best part about his game yesterday was that he (for the first time in 2 years) actually looked quick at times and moved with purpose.

Don't get too carried away by one good game but definitely good signs.

(never quite the same after that one)

Pretty well summed up C84. I too am not a paid up member of his fan club ( and ironically my dland number IS 32..lol. He has played overall a much better game this year and yet for his experience and supposed abilities he still butchers a lot of kicks, ( one of his forte's in early years btw) and as a team mate I wouldn't be too sure whether I was his mate or not on the end of some ( many ) handballs. And this is probably the greatest shame as a lot of the rest of his game can be very very good. He is his own worst enemy.

Wow, he finally has a half decent game and everyone is jumping for joy.

Newsflash - he is our highest paid player and Vice Captain. He should be impacting game every single week, but simply doesnt.

Trade or delist.

He's played 10 seasons of decent games.

Why delist a player, who's a veteran of the club, trys their heart out every week, and is still picking up 30+ possessions every week?

200th game this week for the MFC. Awesome effort for a bloke coming off the rookie list!

Edited by Cards13

I thought he had an ordinary start to the year but he last 4 to 6 weeks have been superb. He is in better form now than at any time last year and probably hasn't been in this type of form since he got crunched by Guerra.

Yep, spot on. Has been hitting the ball hard and with pace and is delivering it with conviction which is what he used to do. Great game.

thats ok then :lol:

Fact Cam Bruce figured in most votes given by all coaches in games and i dare say that carries alot of weight when your peers give you votes and in what i would say the worst ever year of performances by the MFC i have seen since the seventies when we were absolutely crap.

So saying Green desevered it more than Cam is total crap, how many times does this guy have to play down back doing a tag role and still get shite loads of the ball, and yes i do cringe too when he does go to kick but there is a long list behind him whlo can't kick at Melb too.

as for being the supossed highest paid pkayer or ther abouts i say good on him, doubt many if any were deserving or warrant that salary, also keep in mind we have to pay 95% or some figure there abouts there aint many deserving of this figure last year.

If Junior retires this year i have no doubt that 'Cam will be Captain for his last year or 2, i have seen pre game what this guy does and the respect of the players he commands

 
I am really that much of a [censored].

You are definately that much of a [censored] but keep it up. Demonland need not take itself too seriously.

Trade or delist.

Clown.

Can you make this your signature?

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
