Did Cam Bruce retire with a back injury or was he just forced out?

Silly boy. Could have been a one club player after all. That's where greed gets you. Fool.

    I'm sorry, are my eyes failing me or does that say that Bruce was known for his exceptional kicking skills?

    Somebody's eyes are failing, that's for sure. Yours or the author's?

    Meanwhile, it just goes to show that to build a successful culture you have to recruit from successful clubs... erm...

    He kicked well by exception

    You try kicking a helicopter. It takes a lot of skill and finesse to be able to do that consistently like CB.

    Bruces kicking was fine as long as there was no one within 15 meters of him.

    Bruces play was fine as long as there was no one within 15 Mtrs of him.

    Bruce was fine full stop before Guerra dumped him hard into the ground at Docklands.

    He was never the same player afterwards!

    That's usually how close his kicks got to their target.

    You all turn a thread about building a successful coaching staff from ex-MFC people, into a Bruce "bashing" fest.

    I love it.

    Yep!

    Absolute Hack!

    One B&F

    Two Runners Up

    Top ten for ten years in a row in B&F

    Until Bailey in 2008 more goals than games played.

    Mugs like Buckley, Hird, Johnson rated him as their toughest opponent.

    Hell we have replaced him with Byrnes, Rodan etc.

    All sensational models for our young players.

    A real win for us!

    We have also lost those hacks Junior and Greeney!

    Carlton wanted Greeneys' Knowledge!

    The Giants wanted Juniors!

    The Hawks wanted Bruces!

    Melbourne are bursting with senior models??

    Yes!

    The club really made the right choices!!!

    its a well established practice that it is best to start your coaching career on retiring away from your club

    the reasons should be obvious

    He started the year with three best on ground, then driven into ground.

    Essendon held a players meeting under sheedy to vote on getting Cam even at a high price, Led by Lloyd and Hird they all agreed. People have short memories. Not many utilities kick 7 goals a game. About time those twisted supporters kept their ignorance to themselves. What 's to be gained by mauling our own past players..says a lot about the poster..its sick

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
