Cameron Bruce

[Maybe next year 167]

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

[Spaghetti 264]

Yeah, good today, but he will NEVER be our captain.

[Geddy Lee 582]

Won't be our captain, but at this stage nearly anyone could be! Our captain can't take a chest mark!

Hopefully he plays well all year so we can get a 1st round pick for him in trade week

Beat johnson n johnson. Excellent effort on his behalf.

Never had a problem with his work rate just his kicking and umm his contested stuff.

But he does play well in that shut down role.

[Paul Gardner 6]

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!

[CARN THE DEES! 14]

Yeh his kicking was terriable today with a 100% effective kicks!!

[45HG 1,539]

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??)

[DaveyJones'sLocker 587]

good game from bruce today.... if he can put 10-15 or so games like that in this year , he will be captain next year.

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

[Jerry Lundergard 390]

Should we keep Bruce's defensive wins on a roll by giving him the inform Corey Jones next week?

[drdrake 3,045]

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.

I remember one mis-kick that landed on Miller's chest! Bruce has always been a good kick for goal.

[drdrake 3,045]

Bruce has been good for our club, but in comparison to other players he is not elite, I wouldn't class him as an A grade player but on the next level which is above average.

next captain? LOL

[Eastie Boyz 0]

Why not?

at least Maybe Next Year has given some kind of explanation with his opinion

[kramer 0]

i wont use the ''s'' word but hes not a hard in and under type player thats why he wont be captain IMO. but credit where credits due he was very good today, maybe defence could be his new role.

[Eastie Boyz 0]

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.
