Well there ya go. A 1yr extension and we can all go home now..lol, well for now. Im sure the elephant will reappear soon enough

[Redleg 38,584]

After 2011 maybe the Board and new coaching staff do not rate his ability too highly....after the season just gone it isn't that suprising.

He put in a shocker. Let's be brutally honest.

Yes, a shocker, 37 goals to be 2nd highest at club and with most contested marks. Wish I could play that badly.

Good on Brad, and well done MFC for keeping a great player and sticking to their morals

glad to see he signed - im sure he'll have an improved year in 2012

now re-name the thread to "any word on whether Brad Green is the skipper in 2012!"

[nutbean 8,837]

He did not play well this year but I think the poor captaincy is tainting the thoughts on his playing performance.

I dont want him to Captain but very happy for him t be at the club and prove this season an abherration

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Hopefully Neeldy sits him down at full forward all season. He is really handy for us down deep.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Great news, I don't rate him as a captain but I rate him as a footballer.

[beelzebub 22,724]

Probably exactly the view of the Dees.

[demoniac 1,246]

Hopefully with a better forward structure and planning our inside50s will be more effective and Nm 18 will have a productive season.

Go Dees!

Me too Redleg,

I am so glad this has happened, I was worried we had another Jnr. situation on our hands.

He has been at the club a long time and never given anything less than 100%.

Hope he gets close to 2010 form in 2012

55 goals in 2012 would see us move up the ladder

[Jacked Up 0]

I hope that we have the same announcement next year. As it will mean Brad has kicked 40+ goals playing the pocket or HFF.

The thing I think about is the players had a choice last year between Beamer and Greeny and they chose Greeny! Maybe we dont actually see how good of a captain he is though the inner sanctum does see it!

Whether captain or not hope to see another AA season. He deserves it!

[Surfer Rosa 15]

Good that Brad has signed. There are no 'Melbourne Captain Brad Green' headlines associated with the article at MFC.com. Matt Burgan describes him 'a top player and fella'.

Wont be captain in 2012.

[beelzebub 22,724]

ahh..the elephant !!

[cooko 124]

Great news

[Sir Why You Little 35,322]

Yes, a shocker, 37 goals to be 2nd highest at club and with most contested marks. Wish I could play that badly.

And which games did he kick those Goals Redleg??

Stats tell only part of a story....Brad's 2011 was a shocker...This club must demand better or we waste our time yearly.

So he got a one year deal...Good. Work hard Brad and you will get another next year.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

I'm glad common sense prevailed. Now strip him of the captaincy and give it to Moloney so he can keep it warm for Trengove/Watts/Grimes or whoever.

[hardtack 10,187]

I get the feeling that the deciding factor may be that he will retain the captaincy; then again, I'm not correct very often :-)

[baysidedave 246]

Seems somewhat odd actually given the timewe're in , i.e trade week, that theres no pick up in the media of Brad's out of contract status. Normally theyd home in on such a juicy morsel. Very strange, not a word from anyone or anywhere..Its like it exists in a different football dimension.

Its like the whole club is in a different dimension, things are happening and the MFC is nowhere to be seen, we never do anything constructive in trade week

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

I hope not.

That would be the ultimate sook! If that was true (which I doubt) that would make me think we are weak.

I don't think we're weak, but if Green has the captaincy next year I may change my mind. Green is to captaincy what Ke$ha is to civility and grace.

No offence but id rather you didnt ruin your track record in this instance lol.

If that was the deal maker then we're soft.. Im hoping sheer common sense and reality reigned on the day.

Now go play good footy Brad.

Go Dees

Agree 100% - no offence taken :-)

Great news.

[Gippy Dee 48]

Great news to see Greeny resign for at least next season.

We really couldn't do without his experience and dare I say it his leadership in the future.

What hasn't been confirmed is his captaincy and whether he will continue in this role next season.

I particularly think that he will be a co-captain next season with someone who will be out next veteran (if he isn't classed as one already) in Brent Moloney.

We the adding of JT and hopefully a full season from Grimes in 2012 in the leadership group I think you will find a new captain out of these two will be announced in 2013.

Just my thoughts.

Gippy

A little Grace would not kill you mate.
