Congratulations to Brad Green. He had a pretty ordinary season, but there was heaps going on at the club, and hopefully this brings his confidence up for a good 2012. He reminds me of myself a bit Gr

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?

Let me know if there are injuries in these games. I take no notice. If we lose a player it is a disgrace AFL. Green as Australian Captain...must be a joke.

hence the "LOL"

Talk about a lack of willing participants. Green isn't fit to be captain of the Pasha Bulker.

While I don't want injuries either, this view that the International Rules shouldn't proceed because of this risk is flawed. Players get injured at training, in car accidents (no, I'm not talking about Sylvia - think Peter Motley), in the school yard and because they slip over at home.

No international rules is flawed. It is a nothing game that bears no consequence to anything. Let the players rest during the off season. Yes accidents do happen at times, Troy Broadbridge comes to mind. But this game can only increase the risks.

What are the ticket sales for friday? Last i saw was about 10k. Nobody cares.

We may not like the hybrid game, but it is the only chance an AFL player will ever get to represent their country. These guys might just love the idea, even if we think the concept is flawed.

As for BG, get off his back please. When the "real" stuff starts in 2012, I am sure Neeld will have the captaincy issue well and truly sorted. There may have been extenuating circumstances which led to Brad's below par performance this season, as with the Coach and the rest of the team, but I would challenge anyone to say brad has not been a great and loyal servant of the Club for over 11 years.

Let's wait till a player does an ACL shall we, while playing this rubbish game. Missing a year of AFL because of it. This is a money junket for the Fat Controller to keep AFL on TV & newspapers during the summer months.

Let's hope this year it costs the AFL & all associated with it a load of$$$ so they pull their head in.

The other issue is that the relationship and bond between the two countries has been enhanced because of the hybrid game and has and certainly will see into the future, more Irish players involved in our great game. With a compromised draft and free agency on the horizon, this can only be a good thing.

As for someone doing an ACL, if your aunty has a moustache, she's be your uncle as well.

May just say suck it up. As I have said all along it's not all based on field. He obviously is a great leader of men. If not why on this great planet would rocket do this.

When there is little else to choose from. All the great leaders are taking a well earned rest after a tough year. After Brad's annus horribilus i wish he would do the same.

Thanks for that spin quote. Those are Adrian Anderson words. If Chip Frawley does a knee you would not utter such drivel. It is a corporate junket & nothing more.

Losing the plot? I don't think so. I see through a rort JCB that's all. For Green & Chip to be "leading" Australia shows the true regard of the game at hand.

Our boys should be resting before coach Neeld gets stuck into them.

If you don't want the risk of injury, then build a residential compound at AAMI Park and transport your players around it in a cart enclosed in bubble wrap. Don't let them drive, go to pubs, go surfing, go on holiday or allow them to play with their kids.

Why do Melbourne supporters want to put Green down so much? MFCSS? He's played IR before twice (2004 and 2010), and is the only club captain in the team. That's why he's been given the job.

correct. Does anyone remember last years results or scores?

Doubt it.

Yes. Australia won both tests (series 2-0) and obviously on aggregate IIRC. Don't ask about the scores though...

Do you remember the exact scores from this years Grand Final ?

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
