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

couldn't agree more. Also after being knocked out, 3rd Q runs back into a contest! star

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?

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. !!!!

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! :)

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

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
