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...

    absolutely

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
