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.

 

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

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
