Brad Green value on the market?

Featured Replies

Green > o'Keefe

O'Keefe is severely overrated.

Would do nothing in a crap team.

Unlike Green who shone this season.

That may be true, but the greater football community certainly don't see it that way...

AA gurnseys, and premiership medallions seem to count so much more to the great unwashed...

It would be hard to go to Sydney's trade table and argue your point given ROK's decorations...

Disagree. Green shone this season compared to the rest of our players, not compared to the competition. O'Keefe is still a better player, and probably had just as good a 2008 without reaching his best.

Apparently they announced on SEN Green wants to go to Collingwood. Way to pick the worst possible option Brad.

Oh well, Green + pick 17 to the Pies for their pick 11.

That is the ultimate betrayle if true!!

He will become one of my most hated IF TRUE!

:wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

We better get a good deal!

Try SEN, not Essendon.

We should do a deal with Freo and allow Green and Warnock to go into the PSD. We pick up Warnock and they can have Green.

I am in the office and have had no news on the trade today.

I received an email which suggested, Green to Sydney, O'Keefe to Hawthorn and the Hawks pick 16 to the Dees.

Has anyone heard anything?

Oh well, Green + pick 17 to the Pies for their pick 11.

So we lose Green and move ahead 6 places in return? I hope we do a little better than that...

Not bad Mo, it would be a good outcome, just wonder would the weagles be a fly in the ointment there?

Filth's pick 11 is off limits, try again.

Try again if you think Pies lose out in that trade.

What trade? There is no trade. Pies are keeping pick 11.

not for us!

LMAO. Just realised i wrote that, WTF was i thinking?? :blink:

if we were to do that deal with collingwood it would be a clear indication that the MFC cannot afford to pay Green the money he wants which then tells me that the demons are in real strife.. more than i first thought!!!!

that deal does nothing for us except ease some salary pressure!!!

No its not... it smply means we place a different value on Green going forward and in light of our teams expectation during the period of the contract as compared to another club...its not apples and aplles !!

It is my understanding that $'s are the sticking point re Green staying at MFC.

He is worth a 2nd Rounder at max. Melbourne can't pay him more than $300 K, given they must pay 92.5% of the cap in 09.

Saw that same thing written and shot-down on Big Footy. He has been offered $1.1m over 3 years already by the demons.

He may be worth a second rounder, but a better one than Collingwood's. At worst, it would be pick 29 plus...

MFC has permission to pay less than 92.5% in 2009, closer to 90% I believe.

they have PERMISSION, it doesn't say anywhere that they MUST pay that percentage only.

Its rubbish

He may be worth a second rounder, but a better one than Collingwood's. At worst, it would be pick 29 plus...

Sydney won't part with their 1st RD pick, ditto Hawthorn for O'Keefe.

They are the only other potential destination & their 2nd RD is after Collingwood's. It's Collingwood's 2nd Rounder or he goes into the PSD.

 

SEN – Hawthorn and O’Keefe deal is OFF – Hawthorn is not prepared to give up pick 16 – recruiting manager / list manager (Chris Pelchin) on SEN now. Hawks are yet to clarify what they will give up but it’s likely to be 2nd round selection and players for O’Keefe. He also said the Hawks are now unlikely to do any trades this week – pick 16 appears to be GONE unless he is playing the game with 24 hours to go!

This is why the Pies and D’s are most likely talking about Green.

BUGGER!!!!!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
