Has Green really been that bad?

Featured Replies

Posted

Up until today I would have said yes, and to a point I still do agree.

So when I was on Melbournefc website this shocked me

Kicks; Green 5th 116

Disposals; Green 5th 191

Marks; Green 3rd 55

Tackles; Green 4th 35

Goals; Green 2nd 15

So has he been that bad?

Yes compared to last year, he is down on form, but he had a blinder last year

 

it is more how he gets the ball and what he does with it. he has made plenty more mistakes, and almost drops his head when we are being beaten, and in most matches this year he has been beaten by his opponent.

stats can lie, but it is a bit unfair on him seeing as everyone has such high expectations

my biggest pet peeve is he demands the all even when he is in a worse position and as he is the captain team mates automatically hand it off to him.

He doesn't almost drop his head, its down and he sulks off to his position. His body language is terrible.

He doesn't like body contact when he has the ball, and gives off indiscriminate kicks and 'Bruce-like' handballs to avoid being tackled.

He lets Moloney rev them up at qtr time and three qtr time.

He looks for frees.

I hate to say it, but hasn't acted nor played like a captain.

He, like Bailey, has an uphill climb to keep his position.

Statistically it doesn't seem too bad however, there are certain aspects missing from Brads game which are important to that of a captain.

The most glaring aspect is the willingness to do the hard things, tackle and harass. A captain has to set the example for these things, particularly damning is that in 3 round of football Green failed to lay a tackle, most concerning, the first two rounds of the season where the tone for the year is to be set.

He has the inability to step out of his own game and motivate players. After Petterd kicked the first goal of the third quarter against Adelaide, Green who was 10 metres away, simply turned round a ran back to the wing. He should have been over to Petterd congratulating him and encouraging him to get another.

Furthermore, Green will burn players and choose to kick goals himself rather than bringing these players into the game and building their confidence.

Green will always be limited in the influence he can have on a game as captain as he relies on other to bring him into the game, thats no knock on him, however, there are very few if any other captains who are unable to win their own ball.

It depends on how we define 'that bad', but Green has - IMO - had a poor season.


In the last 2 years he took some ripper marks jumping into packs in defence. A moment later he would be down the other end of the ground kicking an important goal. These are two major factors of his game that are missing this year.

It depends on how we define 'that bad', but Green has - IMO - had a poor season.

I agree and will probably go down in history as the weakest captain of the MFC ever.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
