Cam Bruce was on the VL when he left.

He may go, I don't think he will, and I don't think he will be captain.

It is amazing that just 12 months ago he was

"all Australian" and went off to play for Australia v the irish.

Was made the captain of the club ( which I thought was a good move )

Now we are considering if he has a future at the club and if he will stay

Or if we even want him!

That must be the biggest fall from Grace of all time.

I have been a critic this year but!

The Poor bugger my heart goes out to him

    It's not easy.

    The policy is 1 year contract for 30+yo.

    There's the fall-out from Junior's exit last year and subsequently Bruce.

    We can't afford it to get ugly.

    But I don't want to offer him 2 years - he looks like it might have passed him by.

    I'd offer him 1 with a games trigger for 2.

    New coach decides who is captain, no Leading Teams empowerment for our group - they haven't earned it.

    I agree that we disagree. You're of the simple opinion that the green vest should be off limits to the captain and if he wears it, in your opinion it's humiliating and an embarrassment.

    I'm of the opinion that I want the same as you - that we want "the muddle at the club to stop and our players to step up", the thing is in order to do this, what steps are you prepared to take ? I'll back those who are "trying to get us going in the right direction with some hard decisions" - oh wait a second..that's what you said.

    These decisions aren't made lightly...or made on a whim.

    I am sure they are not acting lightly or without thought but the fact they take hard decision or act on whims doesn't make them immune from Criticism or mean they will always be right.

    Interesting point. And in this case I would agree. It will be interesting who the captain and leadership group. Green and Davey must be out.

    I can remember a similar fall from grace happened to Nathan Brown earlier this decade. One year in the running for AA the next year seriously exposed as a defender for lack of pace and decision making near goal. It was excruciating to watch his game just fall apart after being so good the previous year. I think Brown was in his late 20s and it markeed the beginning of the end for him as he slipped in and out of the team in the following 2 years as a fringe player.

    Old is right the blueprint for 30+ players has been set with Bruce and Junior. I cant see how after this year Green will get more than one more year at a time.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
