Green captain of Australia?

[dee-luded 2,959]

As if this hybrid game wasn't already a joke. I'm a supporter of Green and congrats to him getting the captaincy nod, but seriously he was not a good captain this year.

Time was this was meant to be near to the best Aussie players vs the best the Irish had to offer, now they've got kids coming in, a small handful of AA nominations, and Green, who's probably only in there because he tried out for Man U as a kid, as captain.

The players have shown how they see this game, how are we meant to get behind it?

Your barely allowed to tackle in this game. It should suit a 'Green', down to the Pitch!

He's pretty, good with the odd round ball.

This must be the worst time of the footy calender. Between the trade period and the draft.

I've just spent the last hour downloading 60's TV themes. 'Sea Hunt', to, 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea'.

Geex, there was some good stuff in there.

It's not easy being Green.

I don't know if anyone's noticed Eade's comments on Green in the Herald Sun

Coach Rodney Eade said Green was a unanimous choice.

"I think Brad's experience at the game is one (reason)," Eade said. "Two, he's obviously captain of an AFL club and has done that exceptionally well.

"And then you can see the rapport he's got with the players as well - his communication skills are terrific."

Post season we've heard from a few of the players praising Green's leadership. But it's also nice to hear that same priase from some outside the club.

I wouldn't expect Eade to say anything else. Would anyone else expect otherwise ?

He's right about Brad's experience at International Rules and being a captain of an AFL club. That would have helped getting the skipper of Australia gig.

I am sure Brad is rapt to be Captain...And Good Luck to Him.....BUT if he or Chippa get injured playing this Game i will be mighty pi$$ed orf.

My Beef is with The AFL for actually having this meaningless series.....The elite of the AFL have quietly said no....i wish that was the case with our Boys...

But if you wish to watch the game friday night, by all means do so,,,,I will be at the Movies...Footy season is over..Time to recharge the Batteries.

Yep, can empathise with you there. Personally, I like the fact it goes on, but definitely see your point. If Trenners does a knee or something it will be awful. Just think the 'embarrassing' part of the thread was a bit strong.

Looking forward to next season big time. Can't wait for the banter.
