    Heartbreaking stuff.

    Unbelievably hard to explain to the boys.

    All the very best wishes to the family.

    You never get over this stuff. Ever.

    I would want the world to end if I lost my wife.

     

    Thoughts are with Brad, his kids, and family.

    No, no, no. This is terrible. So young and with two little boys. Sincere condolences to Brad, his family, his wife's family and their friends.

    May God look upon Brad and his two boys. They would  surely have plenty of support and hope the MFC start some sort of fund to help them in the hour of need.  God Bless.

    Cardiac arrest according to news.com

    Still so sad about this. I would not survive if I lost my mum or my partner. My heart breaks for those kids and for Brad.

    I saw this yesterday on Brad’s Instagram and have found myself thinking about it multiple times over the past 24 hours. What an absolute tragedy, been recently married myself I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to lose your wife let alone the mother of your children on top of that. 

    Really puts life into perspective, a bad day at work, stuck in traffic, the small minute things that we get caught up on in our day to day lives really mean nothing. Let alone a lot of us getting caught up on the current state of our football side, it’s sad it takes tragedies like this to realise what is really important in life.

    I am sure the club will get around Brad & his family and provide the support needed 

    Great post. 

    Heartfelt condolences  to him and his family.

    Absolute gem of a bloke.

    I met Brad 5-6 times and he was such a great bloke. Friendly. Smiling. He stood up despite the Demons dark years. 

    I am sad for Brad, his boys and Family and friends for their loss.  Such a tragic loss.  It’s heartbreaking.  MFC must ensure he is supported now and watch over him.

    Others have said it. Perspectives are altered. I hope Brad has support that he will need,

    As a Melbourne player he earnt our applause. He gave us so much enjoyment we can surely provide him with any comfort he desires. 

    This is an event that can define the club, I hope we can meet the challenge.

    Anna and I have a mutual friend. The complications from her eye surgery is extremely rare. It occurs in 0.9% of cases and to varying degrees. Sadly in Anna’s case it was the most extreme degree.

    I had exactly the same surgical procedure in January and I vaguely remember the surgeon discussing this sort of complication but as it was an emergency situation and the alternative was to lose my vision, I put this complication in the back of my mind and went ahead and had the surgery with no complications- thank God.

    Rest assured the MFC community will rally around Brad and their young family. I feel so sad for everyone involved. ??

    Maybe a blood clot that went to her brain/heart. I'm only assuming its something along those lines as it was reported she passed from cardiac arrest.

    @jane02 would know more.  It really sucks, thats for sue.

    It's a terrible tragedy and a reminder that all forms of surgery have some risk. Let's keep that in mind given how many times our footballers (in fact, most footballers) go under the knife during their careers.

    So very sorry for Brad & his families.

    I've been stuck for words, stunned.  I didn't even recall Green'y was married...  and kids as well.

    Just ah, what a loss.  

    I don't know how anyone can... It would be tough to even carry on.  

    I guess, the purpose in this is the Kids,   that/they gives one the strength,  to maintain momentum.

    Very moving to see Brad's two little boys run out with the team.  He looked very proud.  Undoubtedly, their Mum also was.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
