Great news.

Interesting that the term "rushed back" was used. In our second game last year against Hawthorn Green was used as a 2nd man on Franklin (ie a chop off man) to help Garland who was on him 1 on 1. Will he get the same role? Obviously we will have a different defender on Franklin to Garland so it could be important. Green put his body on the line a few times in that game so with his recovery I am not sure if it will happen again though.

    Green is a very tough player. He plays very hard with eyes only ever for the ball. I feel he is professional enough and tough enough to move back into the hole straight back from injury.

    This is a massive compliment to Green. In his early days he was often critised for not going in hard enough. He has taken this critism and made a weakness into a streagth.

    Good on you Brad you should be captain.

    Hoping the comeback will be in the game against Hawthorn and they won't follow the path of playing him in the Scorpions seconds, then a week or two in their firsts etc.

    I just hope if they pick him that he's ready to play.

    Green's just far too important a player for us to be rushed back and put at risk. IMO he's just about our best player. If he's not 100% ready to go, i'd hate for him to be played. If he is 100%, then yes, of course pick him. No doubt he'll be itching to get back out there, i just hope the medical assessments are as thorough as possible before determining his availability.

    To be honest, and i might be alone on this, but i'd prefer they take a conservative approach with Green's comeback. His injury was pretty horrific. Would just hate for him to re-injure his face in some innoccous little indicent. No doubting he'll put his head over it, just hope no-one knocks it around. Could be real sore with all that metal in there.

    Would one game at Casey to find some confidence and ease himself back in really be that bad for him?

    Awesome! These injuries do heal well if you monitor them well. I've broken both my jaw and cheek bone on separate occasions, and both were healed and functioning normally after 4 weeks (or a little over).

    I don't think a week at Casey would be worth it. Would you play a regular at Casey for one week after they miss 4 weeks with a broken wrist? No. Any injuries from the waist down (besides concussion and neck) don't need to be.

    Congrats Greeny.

    Now who is going to be in and out for this week.

    Possible in's - Green, Bennell, Bell, Jamar?

    Outs ?

    Hope you're correct. Remember Clint Bizzell's comeback after a similar injury - never the same again.

    But I hope it's different with Brad.

    - Green in for Bartram :D

    - Bell or Bennell in for Dunn :huh: , would do his confidence alot after a huge game to get the call up

    - and depending on wheather Rivers and Chip are fit, possible outs for them being Petterd (a game at casey could do him some good) and Valenti although DB said he would be playing the next few

    Could be a close game this weekend!!

    You're not alone. I'd rather that Green is rested for an extra week than to bring him back too soon. He is far too important to us to risk.

    Another close one will be fine thankyou. Save it for Round 11!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

    Yes I would rather that any day. Every dog (I mean Demon) has their day. The dawks, [censored] and the rest will get theirs, may be not this year but soon!

    The Dorks are already in trouble, if they don't get their act together they wont even play finals.

    This year, why rush Green back, risking any further injury or confidence issues? This year is for getting as much experience into those young brains and them learning every lesson they possibly can by playing the game at top level.

    As much as I love watching the guy and his big heart, our interests in Sunday's game against last year's premiers are best served by giving our young potential champions the experience, imo.

    Rushing Greeny back means the coaching staff is looking for another win asap,so much for the win less than 4 games theory!!! The way the boys played the last 2 weeks,we'll definately win more than 4 and Bails needs a contract extension.

    • 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

      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.
