Green Staying a Demon

Featured Replies

 

Thank God, we need him! I think the dee's will now end up keeping their picks, and Will targer the best available in the PSD.

Herald Sun Trade Tracker man said that's the go as well.

He also seems like an amusing individual

 

blah. NEXT!

Thats Good news-Welcome back Greeny. You shall be a fine teacher to our young players. Teach them well and you could still play Finals with them again.


Will his holding out and assessing other clubs as an option harm his chances of being made Captain?

This really does make me happy. I am one of the guys that couldn't have resisted a top ten pick for Green but I also knew deep down that we're probably the only people who realise that that is the realistic value of him. Be proud to finish in the red and blue Greeney, I look forward to seeing your influence over our young and emerging talent.

Will his holding out and assessing other clubs as an option harm his chances of being made Captain?

It shouldn't. Nobody knows whether the club gave Green their blessing to shop himself around on the proviso that Melbourne received adequate compensation. No club, other than the Swans, were prepared to give anything reasonable, hence he was happy to stay.

No, I would think his lack of leadership qualities and 9 years on inconsistent performance would be the actual reason.

He would only be considered purely because there are few options available for the job.

Fantastic news! Lets just hope he does sign though and not go into the PSD and us loose him for nothing like we did Powell.


It's probably a mixture of him looking around, and us seeing what we could get for him.

Wouldn't imagine it'd play too much into the leadership debate

Didn't stop them from giving the job to Bruce......

And this is great news, hopefully he can help develop and teach those hundreds of kiddies we will have in our midst next year.

I am very relieved :P :D !!!

Good news. NOW GET TRADING

confirmed by Collingwoods recruiting manager on SEN-

Were you interested in Brad Green?

A- "he's signed now with Melbourne, so that's probably best for all parties"

It's official- he's signed for 3 years.

I'm glad he's signed because he's our best player.

However, MFC has farked up many time with 3 yr deal to 27 yrolds--- White and Yze come to mind.

Let's hope it doesn't happen again

Just confirmed.

Resigned for 3 years.

4 consecutive top 5 finishes in the b&f. Really inconsistent. :angry:

Glad he's staying.

Correct--- quite remarkable.

top 5 in the bnf means ALOT. shows he's been in our top few players over a very long period of time.

should be our club captain next year


I'm very happy Green is staying. In this last uncompromised draft for some time, I don't think his true value was ever going to meet the current market. Last year, a late first round draft pick perhaps a la TJ, this year a second at best, and that after his best season.

As one of the few in 08 to show true leadership, rewarded in the end by being re-instated in the club leadership group mid season and then actually winning the club leadership award on B & F night, we needed him to remain. It sends the right message to the younger group that a club leader has chosen to stay when the option of moving to a club with more realistic finals' aspirations would have been appealing.

Remember, at 27, this was probably his last opportunity to put himself out there when at his highest currency. His next contract comes up at 30, and hopefully we're then looking at our own window, and he could look at doing a Crawf.

As one who can swing from one end of the ground to the other, actually hit targets, provide inspirational acts of courage and kick better than average goals, why would supporters of a team crying out for this, ever want to get rid of him?

Young players need leadership. He, McLean and Miller of the more mature brigade probably display it best.

Putting himself out there is not an act of disloyalty. In this day and age, it's a business and he was only assessing his options and value.

He would still be my captain in 09. Thanks for staying Greeny!

Jeez you guys are a loyal lot.

Green wanted to jump from our sinking ship but no-one else wanted him.

He didn't want to be a Dee next year.

No wonder his teamates don't rate him as a leader,leaders don't bail when the going gets too tough.

He tried to bail.

He was my favourite player,now he can go to hell.

 

Give him the Captiancy now.

No, I would think his lack of leadership qualities and 9 years on inconsistent performance would be the actual reason.

He would only be considered purely because there are few options available for the job.

Biff. None of those reasons or unwillingness to take the hard ball (which Greeny does) have stopped Bruce being named co -captain!!!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
