Captains lead...i.e they captain.. I know this sounds harsh but whats he done?

Last year he did many of those 1% things...all the stuff for which many of us thought would make him particularly suited to the leaders role.

Have seen bugger all this year.. Just saying what Im seeing

The next 4 weeks will sort us out.

Adelaide at the G

North at Etihad

St.Kilda at Etihad

Carlton Friday night at the G

Back that up with a Friday night against the Bombers, and Queens Bday, and we will know exactly where things are at.

Cheap talk, fluffy media pieces, TV appearances, backing the coach publicly, etc etc will mean absolutely nothing.

Actions speak louder than words, and if the team doesn't fire over this period, then the team will seal the coaches fate.

Brad Green - "hopefully you will see a competitive Melbourne outfit running out there on Sunday".

Hopefully

A little bit more than hope Brad. I expect it and would've thought they would be the words being trotted out, not hopefully.

Good Call, the leadership group certainly doesn't appear to have drawn a line in the sand in regards to next weeks game as yet. We probably shouldn't read too much into whats said at a press conference, but you would like to hear something a lot more definative than 'hoping' for a more competive effort from the captain.

Another thing, didn't the leadership group get together last year following the Hawthorn loss in Round 1 and agreed to put in a much better effort that saw us almost beat the eventual premiers and then win three games on the trot?

I'm disgusted that Brad Green was on TV.

What he should have been doing was training.

In fact, the entire team should have gone on a 24/7 train-a-thon until next week's game.

(In case you're wondering, of course they shouldn't be training 24/7 - they should also be visiting hospitals and schools spruiking the Club).

I'll raise you with the point that (I heard from a sauce) he has apparently been spending some time with his baby. Trash captain. He should be out on the source with his mates at the pub like a real captain.

Judd's Grandmother told me the same thing and I was so angry I snapped my keyboard in half.

I hope you sent him a twitter poke before snapping away.

Too much rage for that!

(I did un-friend him on Facebook though).

As if he was friends with you anyway.

Okay, you got me. I un-friended the Brad Green fanclub.

Still can't believe our captain was on tv.

The main man is under the pump, He has one of the hardest jobs in AFL right now, right behind DB (thats another story), So brad yes he has been playing poorly,if you can even call it playing...but i will give him a bit more time than 5 games.

He is our only Veteran and everybody wants him to lead from the front, as should be expected, but MFC is thin on leaders... what do we have 4 players older than 26? Brad is leading a few pushing [censored] up a hill right now, and cops it when 18/22 play like crap.

Brad has some runs on the board, and people are very willing to forget what he has done as recently as last year for the MFC, was in the tram of 40 for the AA team missing the final cut. Top 5 in goal kicking or something

Anyone who has written the man off please remember,

THE CREAM ALWAYS RISES TO THE TOP

Go brad, but please pull it out

i said that the cream always rises and today it started to, one good performance is ok but he really did lead from the front today, was super happy with what he gave MFC today

i could not agree more.

I can't believe our captain wasn't on TV this week. It's a disgrace. I bet he was at home, eating a pie AND CHIPS (with his ex-teammate Simon Buckley). If we lose next match it'll be because he couldn't be bothered fronting up on TV this week.

I saw him on Telly Rogue!

It was at about 5pm and he didn't seem too happy with the fit of his jumper...

Gold.

Really?

Really?

Yes, really.

Yes, really.

No?!

No?!

Okay, I'll retract.

Silver.

Yeah, he was better this week, but...

Where the frack was Tom Scully?!

?!

He was there with that solo singer Robbo, tell'n him how good the Casey initiative is with the club and how important it is for the community, and you know, like, because he comes from that area, and like.. so it's important to him too..and all that jazz.
