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.

Great hustle from Bradley, definitely deserves a good showing from the rest of the team against the Pies for his courage and committment.

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.

Go Demons..18

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.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
