Where would the Melbourne Football Club be without Brad Green.

The guy is a star!!

Gets knocked out in the first qtr, and is taken off the field in a neck brace

Comes back on the the third qtr, kicks 2 goals, is our only effective foward, and would be close to BOG for the Dees!

That's what leadership is all about!

Where is that leadership from the rest of our senior blokes???

Apologies to James Mac who gave 110% as per usual

    Bruce played in the backline, sometimes as our loose man and had no influence. Hawks loose man and defensive line cut us apart while our extra man did squat.

    He was useless back there so why not play Bruce forward. Let our 2 most experience players play in an area where we are hurting. It's not like Bruce has exquisite skills rebounding.

    Green, Bruce, Bate, Petterd, Jamar, resting mid. And for the love of god stop playing so close to each other. Stop running to the same spots and going for the same ball. Spread out a little bit and give yourself or team mate a chance.

    When he did that, it convinced me he should be the next captain of our football club.

    This from a bloke who has had multiple facial injuries in the past and was carried off on a stretcher the quarter prior.

    Unbelievable courage.

    I would like to point out also the assist he gave to (I think) Miller. Rubbish kick to his lead, the moment he realised he couldn't mark it he was looking around and assessing. He spotted Miller, took the ball turned and kicked blind right to him for an uncontested mark and goal. How many of our players could have done that?

    His effort and courage today was without question the highlight from our perspective.

    AGREED. And this is for a guy who chose to stay with us instead of go to the Pies. He'd have every right to be bitter that he's given up the chance to play in a premiership contender but you'd never know it the way he goes 100% in everything he does.

    Legend. Enough of this rubbish trying to attach the "next captain" tag to every new young player that comes through the system, this guy is it.

    I have nothing good to say about the game today ( rather depressed and gutted) ...except Greeny you are our no.1 gutsy player. Come on guys dig deep. !!!!

    100% agree. I'd argue he's our only A-grade player at present

    Brad Green is one of my favourite Melbourne players. ;)

    I would love to see him become Captain of the Melbourne Football Club.

    He also deserves to play 300 games for the Demons....he's almost at 200.

    I'm pretty sure he can make it to 300+ games! :)

    No doubting he's the best player on our list at the moment. I said the same thing last year. I'm just hoping he's able to enjoy some better times before the curtains close on his career. He'd be a fantastic second fiddle midfielder in an elite midfield.

    I love Greeny but I think that with the wealth of young talent coming through, Junior will be replaced as captain by a much younger player rather than a 30 year (as Brad will be by then).

    So 45, still think we can get players in the top 100 of the AFL??

    Green is good, very good, but not an A-grade player when comparing to other A-grade players of the AFL.

    Yes.

    My opinion doesn't change after one game.

    With the exception of Junior and to a lesser degree Rivers, the only senior leader in the team who we can consistently rely on to put in the effort and lead by example.

    How he isn't Vice Captain is beyond me.

    brad has courage,,,he's a true champ...

    but he did miss one or two goals that he normally would put through...

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
