I am sick of people bagging Cameron Bruce on hear. I understand and appreciate that people are entitled to their opinion but he gives his all. As he gets more game time he will regain fitness and he showed today how dangerous he is. His kicking has deteriorated but you could see today that is improving again. He clearly beat Steve Johnson and kicked goals. He is our next captain and he has my full support.

Lets not get carried away. He is not a captain's bootlace, but he is at his best when given a defensive job, and I hope that Bailey continues down that path. God knows our backline needs all the help it can get.

His job on Johnson was excellent, and it was great that he managed to push forward and kick goals as well.

I havent been a fan Of Cams for some while...and deeserverdly so.. he's been very off the boil...and lacklustre..

But I will always give credit where its due and he certainly brought back his A game today. Was terrifc in silencing SJ.. Lets hope now he's found his feet again..he keeps going :)

I think he is a good player who's perhaps been overrated. He's got good versatility but his disposal is terrible, an inexcusable given he is a senior player of almost 10 years experience. Furthermore, there is no way he should be captain. He hasn't played good football for three years now really, his career is on the wane. Although I can't think of a candidate to take over once Neitz retires

Wow, the soft players all put in today. Fantastic, the first cobblestone on the road to respect, not of the opposition but the respect of the club!

i'm first to have a go if he had a bad game so only fair i praise him on a good game. he was very good today. thinking he's very good as a tagger because he seems to set himself for the target very well and we all know can run all day. further more he may be able to use the ball better if his mind is focused on the opposition as he is pressed more to do so. will be intrigued by his next 3 weeks

Cam Bruce can be bloody awesome at times, and he was great against the cats today. He will not captain the side, but I am sure he will retire in red and blue. He is worth a roster spot any day of the week, even if he cannot string games together all the time.

Cam Bruce is still a great player for the club....but he will not be our captain (MACCA!!!!!!!!!!! Why not J-MAC??)

I love Macca.... but I think he is too old now to be future captain

I must confess I have always be critical of Bruce. Maybe because a lot of people made him out to be an elite AFL footballer which he isn't that. I accept him for what he is a hard running a little above average AFL footballer. I think sometimes we all search for elite players with in our club and when you don't have any we try to make someone who is not, one.

Let's get this straight . . . Cameron Bruce is a smart footballer and is absolutely fantastic with his hands, always been silky, it's when he uses his feet in the last few years he has been poor. He's given too many good games to this club to say that he's just a little above average.

There's a few other midfield captains that are receiving players.

They don't have to be Michael Voss

Spot on. And I think that if you watch Cam Bruce for a full game, you'll notice that when its his turn to go, he goes and he goes hard. Last year he was in our top 3 for tacklers which indicates that he does put in. He had a sensational game today and I would throw my support behind him as our next captain.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
