I just saw it then, it was all faded..

Good news on Brad re-signing, I always had faith :)

Wonder if it's one, or he managed to hold us to ransom and squeeze two out.

I went to school with a Ransom and he certainly isn't what he used to be.....and thank [your Deity] for that!

Where's news of Brad re-signing?

It was reported he was close, no confirmation

 

Not a comparable situation.

Mitchell stepped down as a highly successful captain to honour his "Kirribilli Agreement" with Hodge. He had a young family - and wanted a bit more freedom to concentrate on his own game.

Even if Greeny resigns - without pressure to stand down - , the perception will be that he didn't measure up.

As captain he did have to cope with serious off-field tensions. Would the divisions have been wider - and would the players have been even more inconsistent - with someone else in the captain's chair? Without answers to these questions we need to be careful not to bag him outright. It would say something for his resilience if he threw his hat into the ring for a leadership position again.next year.....egocentric perhaps, unrealistic maybe - but tough nontheless

To me it is very important that he remains at the club ... and that we as a group encourage him to play on.

This is a very important sentence hoopla. We do not know how much he did to try and keep unity around the club this year. I have been critical of his onfield leadership, and won't change that as it was woeful, but that is only one facet of the captains job. I too feel it is important he remains at the club, and whilst from what I have seen I would prefer another player as captain, I think he will not have two years like that in a row.

I thought I'd change it up a bit, keep it fresh. She will come back.

I just got in trouble for player abuse. Better pull the head in a bit.

You, slooniemcfloonieloonie, need to pull your head in??? You must be kidding :lol: Just to clarify, I love your style sloonie.

Irony.

Brad Green - Great Captain or Greatest Captain?

Discuss.

That was my fault. Sloonie is sorry.

I personally think his age is a bonus. We have a young list and from what I can gather hes an ultimate professional when it comes to preparing for games. Have never seen him in the papers on the social scene and more importantly have he has never brought the club into the spotlight for any negative stuff. If the young guys prepare and behave like he does it will well and truly put the club in good stead.

Jack Jack thinks you've been hanging around RPFC too much!

It's hard to tell how significant Green's leadership is off field. But from an onfield perspective he seemed to be more concerned with his own form than being a true onfield leader.

Or maybe it was just the occasional selfish passages of play that has tarnished my opinion of his leadership.

You make some good points. Brad I have no doubt is a top bloke, but that does not excuse his onfield leadership in 2011. It was clearly too much for him to handle, and this must be a factor in dealing with his next contract.

I reckon that covers it fairly well.

I was a critic this year but only on his performance on the field.

I have never seen any evidence that he has been anything but a great servant of the club.

Not sure why so many on here have him in the gun!

The criticism has only ever been his onfield output OD

He had quite a few mates this year.

Sometimes I think because he was captain he has to wear the team's poor results.

absolutley, and unfortunatley i guess this comes with the territory.

Wish he'd hurry up and put pen on paper!

Not sure that this is a " no news is good news" story.

I worry when things take this long

Or am i just over reacting after Jnr. last year.

As the Captain of the Club that is exactly what he has to do.

  • 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.
