So any Bruce baggers still want to sink the boots in? I wish the detractors could tell me what the difference between yeterdays performance and work he has done all year?

He was and has been very good, sure he doesn't always hit targets by foot but watch the second quarter again when it counted.

He was BOG in my opinion - Green was great but did collect many possesions as the loose man.

So hit us with your comments of trading etc.

I have never been a Bruce bagger.

I don't believe though he should be our next captain. I would rather see Brock with that role.

It is clear from the last 2 weeks that he benefits from having hard inside midfielders like Brock and N.Jones in the team to complement his game.

And, i don't believe he was BOG yesterday. I would've had Green and Bell ahead of him.

big call - trade him for Judd - who wouldn't we trade for the best on baller in the league and premiership captain? next you will be saying you would even trade him for Jonathon Brown. so whats the point of this comment?

I'd trade him for Judd any day of the week.

Yeah great idea NOT! He was behind Green yesterday but awesome all round. I think he should be the next captain I think Brock will be eventually but 50 games is not enough to be captain especially when he is as injury ridden as he has been. I would NEVER trade Bruce for Judd he is our star week in week out

Bruce is playing good footy

His trade value would be prertty high, so I hope he dominates for the whole season so we can get as much for him in trade week as possible

I've been a 'don't trade Bruce n Green' bandwagon for a long time for the pure fact that they'll never fetch the price they're worth. However if the Weagles lost Judd n wanted Bruce in return, he'll be long gone.

Judd's a star week in week out FULLSTOP.

Not coming? How do you know? And why ISN'T he coming?

You may well be right, but not because you know anything the rest of us don't. IF Judd comes up for trade... we SHOULD move heaven and earth to snare him. Judd is a better player and is younger than Bruce. The question isn't would you trade Bruce for Judd.... that would never happen... the question is Bruce and what pick would you trade for Judd.

Bruce is a good player. So is Green. They pop up every so often and have GREAT days. No-one has ever questioned the fact that they CAN play. The question is, why do they still fail as often as they do? Why does Cam's kicking fail (even yesterday a couple of times... bone spurs?), why does Green drift in and out of games? Why does he play one of the best games of his career one week, when the week before he is smashed?

Look to the likes of Brock and Jones, people. They are coming to the fore. We all know about Brock, but Nate is startiing to exceed my expectations. I think we may have something special there.

I do not see the point of discussing Judd when its only the smallest chance of him leaving. Its like Richmond talking about winning the premiership load of rubbish. Bull Camerons kicking was crap why did he get best on ground by every person calling the game?? What a load of rubbish. Judd will not win us a premiership so I dont see the point

I only mentioned the J word because the creator if this thread specifically asked a question about trading Bruce, Judd is one of several players I'd give Bruce up for so it was worthy imho.

judd is a great player no doubt about it. But i have followed Bruce's career from his first game in the red and blue. He is a sensational player and dare i say it can be a match winner. I wish we had two of him at the moment , one in midfield and one as small forward. Waiting for a full strength list so he can push forward more and bag a few more deserved goals. same with green. They have done an admirable job pushing back to help the backs so far but they seem to be more forward thrusting players. With Rivers and Whelan back we will be a force once more. I'd hate to trade such quality players because of a terrible injury run and lets face it if we had a full list from round 1 we would most likely be 6-4 maybe even better. If Bruce or Green were traded I'd be severely [censored] off.

Agree Brucey has been terrific and people should get off his case. Thought votes yesterday were Green 3, Bruce 2 and Bell 1.

daveys game seems to be overlooked a bit but i thought his efforts were also magnificent. He played all over the ground and chased hard all day. his 1 percenters were terrific. jone brocky and bell are hrad nuts and carroll was sensational.

wow...

bruce failing us.... hmmmmm

let me think ... one game this year i would say well below par....

let me see he leads us in disposals, handballs n kicks. 3rd in marks and 4th in tackles....

far out he is really letting us down every week by the looks of it...

wat more surprising last season he was probably in the top 3 of every stat at the club...

Cams kicking my fail him somtime....

but alot of people call him selfish and say he doesnt play for the team... welll i ask u to watch the second quarter again from yesterday.

also bruce was taken wat number in the draft... DAPPA dan?

and where was brock taken.... we all had little expectations of bruce.... and was has he done.... he deserves more credit than he gets....

im a melbourne supporter thru and thru.... but u know wat.... i would think twice... if we were to trade bruce....

I think you need to stop giving so much credit to journalists and media commentators.

After all, weren't they the ones who wrote we should trade Bruce just 24 hours before the game? weren't they the ones calling our club '[censored] weak' before the opening bounce? weren't they the ones who didn't actually know who Daniel Bell was until the game was over (and failed to give him votes!!!)?

Bruce's kicking is on the wrong side of ordinary, his decision making is about the same. That is not to say that he is not a great player, and a consistent one at that. But to say you wouldn't trade him for a Brownlow winner, B&F winner and premiership captain who is also 5 years his junior, is madness.

Also, you have no idea whether he is or isn't coming to Victoria. Your guess is as good as mine.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
