The word on Brad Green

Featured Replies

 

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 :unsure::)

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.

 

Earlier than next week.

One year extension is now official

http://www.melbourne...18/default.aspx

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!"


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

 

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

Probably exactly the view of the Dees.

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

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!

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.

ahh..the elephant !!

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.

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.

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

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

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 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

  • 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.
