McLean a natural-born leader

"It's going to be hell for leather when that ball goes down."

Taking nothing away from Bruce, but how can you not love and respect that man?!

He WANTS to be a leader, he craves that responsibility.... I can't wait for him to take over, be it next year, or in 3 years from now.

Finally feeling confident that there is life after Neitz!

    Now that's a post (#33). I don't agree with a whole lot of it, but it's well considered and composed. There's no confusion. I won't come on here and hurl sniping little insults at you, or critique your lack of understanding just because I disagree.

    Jaded was the only person who responed to my apparently worst post in history ?

    i dont see any answers to my questions guys and girs?

    BB, that's because there's nothing in your post that warranted a response. At least the one-liners didn't come on and pick every little fault with what you wrote. Those posters aren't going to come on and make a fool out of you because you did it all by yourself.

    And u assume he won us the st kilda game?

    well let me tell u buddy i was there he did play well, but there was one other player who played just as good.

    there is ONE player and ONE player only who deserves it and who has earnt it at this stage.

    BRUCE.

    Mate, many of us were there, and no, no-one played as well as Brock at the final siren. Have whatever opinion you like. And everyone else will have theirs.

    Don't take it personally BB. It often happens here - a reasonably well thought out post seems to confuse some, so let's resort to one-liners.

    See above. One liners are sometimes used to highlight a point, not repeat the obvious. And on your later posts, you make some good points. It's one thing to consider the future, another altogether to have a slanging match over who would make the better captain in 12 months time. Neita is the man. As for the future, it's a fanciful subject, most have treated it as such. Those who chuck on a one-liner about who they prefer know that what we say matters not a jot. The footy department will make the final call, and honestly, I'll always prefer Neita, but behind that, I'll take Bruce, Green, Brock and I'd even consider Davey. With the youth coming through like Bate, Jones etc etc I think the captaincy debate could be the kind of thing that'll get everyone on these boards talking for the next 5-10 years!!

    But of course there will always be some on this site who will never understand :rolleyes:

    God forbid we all fail to live up to your idea of "understanding." As far as I can tell, apart from BB, this has all been mostly one opinion vs another. If it's such a trial to come on here are listen to all this "misunderstanding" why bother at all?

    Hmmm. Tim, if you're out there in cyberland, I reckon Brock may have done the right thing by you and stitched me up. The crux of my arguement was that he don't get badyly injured, or injured regularly, and that he play well this year. Looks like I've got nowhere to go now eh?

    His kicking is what really gets me. Elite players just don't fluff kicks that often!

    Still, he might get the job given Brock finds new and exciting ways of hurting himself in the contest :(

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
