Yep, they would still be firing, taking the un-takeables, splitting the big sticks with everything they aimed at, no matter the distance. 


I remember that vividly, I believe it was Docklands turf that did it??

He would be an impactful winger or Harmes-type role in todays team.

Could kick a helicopter though…

Remember that day well. i think it was the last time i went to Colonial Stadium, apart from the AC/DC Concert in 2010. 

I went to America the next day. They put me in the back row. It’s a long way to sit without a reclining seat!!

It was Brent Guerra, with his crude tackle that was the main culprit.

Genuinely a ripping bloke. 

I have meet him a few times, when we were bottom of the barrel and he gave us as much time as we wanted to talk and also took time to chat with my kids. 

Great bloke and should have been a one club player.

I had a similar experience. Very easy to chat to. Gave Melbourne 120 per cent in every game he played. So passionate and was a spent force at the end of every game. Played his guts out. Sad to see his departure from the club he loved and I'm sure still does just quietly. I dont think he was ever reported in his many games and a most respected player in the AFL.

Brent Guerra pinned both arms and drove him into the Colonial Dome concrete

I was at the Doglands match too. Guerra ... what a dog.

I met him (with my then young kids) at a club family day. Nice bloke.

My son wore #32 as a junior footballer in his honour!! 

Very fond memories of Cam Bruce very talented footballer and I also remember that day, Cam was in career best form and Gueras tackle was aimed at taking him out. My fondest memory of Cam was that final in 2000 against the Blues and his fist pumping after kicking a very important  goal in that amazing win. Very sad when he was forced out.😢😢

Yeah, it was Guerra and the turf at Docklands.

He would have got 5 weeks for it now.


The week after Cam said in an interview "three hot days doesn't make a summer". Remember it well, we were really up and about. I wasn't quite gutted to the same level as when Ox did his second knee, but it was in the same ballpark.

Wasn’t the turf that did it he was driven into the ground. It was a pretty ordinary act by Brent Guerra, who got him late and IMO tried to injure him and did.

One of my favourite players. Was gutted when the Dees offloaded him. We shipped out all our experience around then and suffered big time.

I was hoping for an upgrade, but it never came!!

a very long 20 hours without a reclining seat!!

Talk about sliding doors moments, we were in excellent form at that stage and Cam Bruce was playing incredible football, up there with the best we’ve seen from a Melbourne player. From that point on Bruce was never the same player, his departure from the club was a big hole that was massively underestimated by the FD. 

Was a deliberate act by Guerra to injure Cameron that day, maybe not to that point but his intentions were to cause pain.

Agreed. That type of act is why we have these rules now. A reminder that some things in the game are better now.

 

We offered Cam a one year deal and the Hawks offered two, so he took the two. He approached the Hawks and I believe Clarkson tried to talk him out of leaving Melbourne.

I remember when Hawkins played his first game, I think it was, for the Cats and we put Cam on him, he monstered Cam and rag dolled him in the first contest they were in, one of the worst matchups I've ever seen.

We wanted to keep Cam so got rid of Jnr, and then Cam walked.  We were left with our pants down and egg on our face.  PJ said one of the first things he had to do was repair the damage caused by getting rid of Jnr.  The mind still boggles.

We had a policy at that time of not offering more than a one year contract to anyone over 30 and we were inflexible which was stupid.

They played Junior in every game and then wouldn't offer him a contract at the end of the year, if my memory serves me he had a poor previous year due to, I think, injury so they offered him a year, then even after he'd played well delisted him.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
