Ripper day - 18 marks - the most a Melbourne player has ever taken.

Here's hoping he puts in as stellar effort next week.

wow what a game by greenie!

some might say that many of those possessions were uncontested, but the point is that if you're going to have uncontested possessions, then make them damaging possessions...today he certainly influenced the game and was best on ground by far! 2 heroic marks really inspired the team, his kicking into the forward line was terrific.

great all round game from him today

Greeny did everything today, was really good when the heat was on in the last 15 minutes.

Only complaint from me was he didnt snag the 1st goal!

I had him in the cheersquad comp.

I salute you today Greeny you where exceptional.

Most certainly if not Brock, then Green as our next captain.

He was inspirational last year when captaining the side as well.

I agreed with this when (I think) Jaded brought it up last year as well.......

We all think that McLean will probably be the next captain, but is he actually ready, physically or mentally, to take that particular mantel yet?

I don't know and neither do we. But at the very least there has to be another option, and Brad Green could well be it.

To me when he plays like this Green has always given a very clear indication of being able to take that next step. Of course we all want him to play like this a hell of a lot more often, but he was brilliant and inspirational today and his presence was everywhere. And his field kicking looked pretty damn accurate as well.

Well done Brad, a game definitely worth savouring :D !!!

Those 2 marks today should put to bed some misguided thoughts that Green is soft. He clearly goes when it is his turn.

But honestly you have to wonder just how it is that this furfy is still doing the rounds. He is anything but and those marks were fantastic.

Walls actually said at some point after one of the other commentators mentioned the article and the fact that maybe he fired them up, that maybe now their (Green, Bruce and Johnstone) trade value's was now in the order of a first round pick. The conversation was very short and sharp though.

Yer his trade value juet went up for all those who want to trade him...

well done greenie...

maybe this week we can find somone else to trade

As for some of us feeling the need to trade someone new this week.....

There will always be someone to kick the hell out of, and if not then there are those around here who will just go and find someone.

The only captain in recent times I can recall who was that young was Wayne Carey and I agree that it would be a bit much to expect Brock to captain a side that early. I would expect that Neitz is almost certain still to be captain next year but name Brock as Vice-Captain as have a real leadership structure. This idea of the players voting in a leadership group each year obviously isn't working because half the group each year get replaced when others have a good year.

He's finally stepped up to the plate & delivered. Where have you been all this time Brad. Don't go hiding again after this, the fans now know what standard you can deliver at & should expect nor tolerate anything less from you.

The other way around mate, if they can play like that then ask yourself why have'nt they. It's no use having players who can play, but don't put in. WHY? If they don't keep up this higher standard to which they're capable, then they should go & we'll find others who'll put in for the club.

Good grief, can't we just congratulate our guys for standing up in yesterdays match, without sending them packing in the same breath?

Lets just remember guys that one hot day doesn't make a summer. lets no get to ahead ourselves.

But let me just say that bulletins i have posted and supporters agreed on in recent weeks in regards to player roles were finally put into place yesterday with great sucess.

Green as a loose man across half back in a Goddard roll

Bate at CHF (Bate will be a better version of Ryan O'Keefe)

And sespite not as good as last week Biz back in our defence. Absolutley awesome early before making a couple errors late.

And how good was Bell. Havent seen a Melb defender dominate a dangerous defender like that in years. Welsh wasnt given an inch. AWESOME WORK BELLY.....

I'm with you Y_M. Sure it was a great game for both he and Bruce. But it's only 1 game. Sure give credit where credit's due, but let's not forget we are 1-9. Hopefully both string a few good games together now. Coz we should not be in the bottom 8 and lets not be weak and blame injuries.

After 1 game we are singing their praises and calling for them to be captain, and whilst they deserve their praise this week, many games this season they didn't play like they were leaders of our club.

Whilst so many are so widely applauding Bruce and Green's efforts, lets send out a huge cheerio to Danners as well. Well done Neale. I mean Bruce and Green are being suggested as Neita's heir in this thread. So it's only fitting for me, going with the trend of this thread, to suggest that Daniher be offered a 3-year extension on his contract. Thoroughly deserved Neale.

With the injuries we have had there is no way in hell we should be in the top 8. Anyone who believes that we should, is in fairy land. With the comp being so even, you lose 5 of your best 10, you will lose 9 out of 10. That said we should have been more competitive in some of the games, as we should be 4-6 because all of those close games we had a very good chance to win, and a bit of poise and leadership we would have won.

As for Bruce, well he would be leader our b&f this year just in front of bell, he has been our best player, so he has 'strung a few games together', and had some of his mates been up and running e.g. the bloke who was licking the pres' face at the brownlow last year, we might just be in a better position.

anyone who thinks that was a one off from bruce knows nothing about football and certainly hasnt watched our first 10 rounds...

he has done that every week, though in previous weeks he has not had support.

green too has been pretty good this season without setting the world on fire... green perhaps should dominate games more though

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
