That's a great vid! I'm pumped up to run through the wall and knock over the nearest Collingwood feral!

Well done, boys. Roll on Rd 1.

Always wanted it to be Green and never thought it'd be anyone else. Champion of the club, well deserved

 

[DemonJim]

Congrats Greeny!

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Well done Brad, I think he is definitely the right man for the job.

Glad they overlooked Grimes for now.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Good decision. Will be a very good leader for the kids coming through. Should still have 3-4 years left in him as well hopefully. Well done Brad Green...

 

[Darksidepoints]

Absolutely the right man for the job. Well done Greeny!

 

[Headless]

Absolute champ. Congratulations and all the best.

Go Dees, can't wait for round 1.

Some great quotes from our new capt - fairly pointed in regards to recent debates about moving older players on. The club made the right choice(s).

"I’m in it for the long run. I’m here as long as the club wants me to be here. Dean always tells me age is no barrier," he said.

"I will keep striving as long as my body is fine and as long as I am doing the team things and playing my role. If they (the coaching staff) see fit that time is up, then time is up. That’s football."

Great result and congrats to Greeny, has looked the likely option for some time now.

The vices should all exert a presence as well. Davey up forward a little more this year. Our leaderships stocks are in great shape.

Bring on season 2011.

Congrats Greeny, make us proud mate.

Will be nice seeing you hold that precious premiership cup alongside Dean b4 you're finished

 

[Tazwegian]

Awesome to see Green get the gig. Desperately unlucky not to be All-Australian, so good to see him get some recognition.

 

[cannons]

Was always going to get it simply because he's the ideal candidate.

Well done to him and hopefully he can have another great season as well.

 

[Hagar]

The perfect candidate to lead the club in 2011 and beyond the young players we've got could do a lot worse than emulate Brad Green as they develop..

Would love it if someone could get that video of Bails addressing the playing group up on YT.

the video of the announcement to the playing group.

i really like dean bailey, and i think he is really underrated by footballing experts. he really seems to understand where the club has been in the past 5 years, and is fully in-tune with the greater vision of the club.

sure it does seem like he speaks quite metaphorically at times, but by the way he talks to the group he is really challenging them to better themselves and become a great team off their own backs. he goes about his job in his way, and its great to hear him talk about his players with so much respect

Great bloke, Great Player.. Will be a great captain!

 

[Crimson Azure]

i hope this helps him lift to another level but as long as he repeats his 2010 form I'll be happy.

Yeah, would be very happy if he performed at a similar level to last season.

Can't believe he wasn't AA.

 

[The OBSTacle]

Obvious choice and very deserving of the honor.
