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.

    Bugs & Yosemite Sam...what an acting Duo...Right up there with Samuel L Jackson & John Travolta!!

    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.

    Regards, Baz

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
