Had a feeling it was Hawthorn, but the Hun reported it was a

"top 5" team chasing him!

Laughable considering where they finished and where they are heading.

Top 5 in their own minds.

With the change in interchange rules, Bruce could turn out to be a useful sub player in his twilight years. Can play almost any position forward, back, middle...

Just a thought.

Just saw on the Herald Sun website that Brucey has decided to quit, opting to nominate for the national or pre-season drafts. It mentions Hawthorn as a possible new home. See the link to the story below:

The story also mentioned that it wasn't so much money or length of contract, he was seeking assurances of his place in the team.... business decision in a business world. He'll get more money and a longer contract elsewhere, but the club remains consistent in developing a 'team first' attitude.

Another defector. I don't know why we (1) can't entice players to come to us or (2) entice them to stay.

Turn it up, apart from Thompson, we haven't lost much. Jolly yes, but he had valid reason.

Adios trackie dacks

We shall miss him next year, but i am glad the club has stood firm...Gives someone else a chance to step up.

Cameron has been great, but during his career we must remember that we always fell short-so there is room for improvement.

If you wish to wear a Hawthorn jumper, you do so at your own peril. B)

It's time to look at the positives!!!

- Free up a lot of our salary cap!

- We minimise our inefficient disposal.

Question: Does Davey now end up on the veterans list??? :/

sucks to see hom leave, but there is plenty of talent to take his spot.

This is true - gives a guy like Blease a chance for a regular spot!!! :)

My biggest disappointment is he waited for this long to do it and robbed us of the opportunity of trading him or at least delisting him and giving us another pick in the Nat Draft.

Yep.

Stinks.

But I'll take the great with the bad.

It's sad to see Bruce go, but I don't think it will have any negative impact on our performance next year and it gives a chance for another young prospect to gain experience each week. Thanks Brucey for over 200 great games. We'll miss you.

Next year will be another development year now, we don't have enough experience or leadership. That's 3 or our 7 leaders gone

BUT... it might be a good move for the long term... means young players will get more games and will need to step up big time

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
