Congratulations Brad well done.

There have been plenty of knockers on the way but you've shown them all.

That he has.

He would be so damaging in a top 4 side, I just hope he's still playing when we make it back up there.

For some reason he got a 'soft' tag put on him, I could never understand why either. There are few in the AFL that have thrown their head at contests with as much disregard for their health as Green.

I just hope the boys can put in a decent effort for his 200th, he deserves it.

Absolute champ. One of our Top 5 players every year for his whole career. What's more he had the chance to jump off what he could easily have dismissed as a sinking ship to chase a combination of better money and/or success but he stuck with us showing a level of loyalty he frankly didn't owe us.

If Junior hasn't got another year in him after this I really hope the boys vote him as our next captain. He would be a worthy MFC captain.

200 games. Well done Brad Green. Timed it well for Collingwood.

Yes, a glorious victory, against all the odds, over the old enemy would, indeed, be a fitting way to crown his 200th! A wonderful servant of the club over many years...!

Same here. Well, first sentence anyway - he looked a gonner; I'll pass on your second, with its strange spelling and sentiment.

I think more people are starting to see that he is our best bet as FF or at least FP. Even after - no, especially after - he came back on the ground, he showed he can straighten the side up; he's one player that combines guts with terrific balance and skill. Just a pity he hasn't a bit more leg speed. But he's played some very gritty games in the last very dim few years, and to my mind looks like the captain.

I was idly glancing at some threads on demonology, where the intelligence and courtesy quotients are down somewhat, and some prat had remarked in his post that Green was no good, that he'd 'gone missing' on Saturday!!!! Wonder if that cretin was at the game or relying on Rex.

Congrats on the 200th Brad. Hope it is a great game for you and that the boys really put in an extra effort. Young enough to play many more for the Dees. Has been a great Demon over his career so far.

Has been a top player for the club, especially towards the latter part of the decade.

If the players can't step up and put in for Brad I'll be that worried - I'll be livid.

I expect the ENTIRE MFC on & off the ground to absolutely FIRE UP & give everything for Brad Green & the jumper as he did last week.

I do not think any excuse is acceptable. Brad Green deserves a 4 Quarter effort for the next 21 weeks.

His courage should be bottled. Well done Brad Green, i will be there on saturday.

I've had my issues with Green in the past but in the last few years he has proven himself a true Demon. There are several on our list who would do well to watch and learn from his efforts. Rolling the Pies would be a fitting tribute. Can we do it. By Friday arvo I'll be back on the "Yes we can" train.

Never understood the soft tag either. The only thing I was ever critical of him was looking at himself on the big screen far too often when he was lining up for goal. Glad he`s cut that out now!

In 3 years of absolute gloom and doom, he has been 1 of the only shining lights. He has become a fearless and immensely respected player. Great stuff Brad!

Congratulations Brad. Rarely 'goes missing' in games even when we are soundly beaten ie. the mark of an excellent footballer by any standards.

Masive respect to Brad Green.

It is diabolical that he is not current captain, or at least vice captain.

And considering the two guys we have in those spots, it becomes something way beyond diabolical.

Greeny, you are a star and your toughness is an inspiration.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
