Bruce's goal celebration


Range Rover

Recommended Posts

never celebrated like that once with us. the arrogance of that man is amazing

Before he lost the ability to kick them the past 5 years, he always had the ability to celebrate one.

I can almost guarantee that was me.

Was so worth copping the greasies

HaHaHa, well played DL7. We need to recruit some players with the spirit and daring to be not so politically correct, as to not do what they truly believe. Sorry, I meant to say be yourself. ;)

Meh...

It was mildly annoying but he's entitled to celebrate a goal...

I'd like to think it was more directed at the administration than us poor old fans.

Although if Brucey ever logged on here, his next goal celebration would probably include him whipping out a Melbourne jumper and setting it alight before dancing on it.

I stress I thought Brucey was a good bloke, he did celebrate every goal, and every time he ran out for Melbourne he bleed for the Dees. But that aside, he now plays for Hawthorn and therefore it doesn't matter how many loyal games he played.. he's just another hawthorn player.

Fair enough. I didn't hold back having something to say when Franklin was caught by Davey not far from where I was seated. Me and thousands of others....

In soccer it is customary for a player who has given years of service to a particular club not to rub it back in their faces with wild gesticulations when he scores a goal against them in new colours. Not sure if that applies to other sports or AFL football but I think it's a noble and sportsmanlike ideal, especially for players who have been treated very well and handsomely rewarded over the course of their careers.

Bruce's grinning fist pump at the MCC wing was very noticeable yesterday after he snapped a goal during their third quarter run on. Kind of sad for a 200+ game veteran of our club.

Only thing I was disappointed about was that Tapscott didn't get the chance to lay him out at any point in the game.

So do i !!!, Bruce got hammered by the MFC crowd, he gave a bit back...it was always going to happen.

His bald spot is more noticeable in those colours i did notice.

Yeah, I noticed the bald spot too. But then there was a closeup of Greeny and he has a balding problem also! The ageing process affecting two stalwarts and good mates. They both better have a chat with Warney!

He always celebrated his goals with great gusto and enthusiasm. I saw his gesture on Sunday as a celebration of a much needed Hawthorn goal and possibly a pointed 'that will teach you for not wanting me!" directed at Bailey, Connolly and the other members of the MFC football department.

Bruce's first goal where he so soccered the ball from half back and ran into the forward line taking two hand passes in the process then slotted it from about 40 meters was a game breaker for me. It put the hawks within a kick or so early in the third quarter and set the Hawks alight. CB had a perfect right to celebrate. Probably reminded him of several similar goals he had kicked for the Dees. Up until then he had had a very ordinary game, but had a lot better second half. If he had not picked up his game on Sunday he would have been in danger of being dropped given his very poor first up showing for the Hawks.

Was it us loyal fans that gave him a bronx cheer when it looked like he kicked it on the full from the centre to the southern stand wing, only to find that it hit a Hawks player on the [censored]? I only heard it on TV, and made the same cheer, until the camera showed a Hawk mark! I had the sound up really loud, so unless it was the Hawthorn supporters cheering such a well directed miss-kick, it may have been some signal interference coming from the Bald [censored] Transmitter (Brisbane, not Bruce).

Was a nothing thread yesterday and it still hasn't changed.

Was I the only person who thought that the booing of Cameron Bruce was absolutely disgraceful?

MFC supporters have no reason to dislike Bruce - we are the ones who got rid of him and he wanted to continue playing with us. The man has a right to make a living, so he decided to continue for another team. If there is anything that he has done wrong then please enlighten me.

Really, Bruce playing for Hawthorn should result in a win-win to both sides. Our up & coming youth such as Trengrove, Trapscott, etc should be able to cover for the viod that Cam is leaving, and hopefully he should be able to contribute to the HFC.

It's the re-writing of history that gets me.

he decided to leave us - after trade week was done and dusted, meaning we couldnt even get a draft pick for him. he can kiss my arse.

Don't forget also that at Hawthorn he is playing for less money than we offered!!! A very large reason to be disliked IMO

na i dont care about the money that he is getting. its that he didnt try and get the club anything for him. even judd said he wanted to come home but not unless the eagles were given some good compensation, ie draft picks. thats what really annoys me.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
