With the emergence of youth with plenty of run in there legs to carry the ball out of defence and through the midfield.

I believe it is time for Green to play a more permanent role up forward.

We all know Green is a great kick. So lets play him inside the forward 50. He would be a great leading forward. And at his age may prolong his career aswell as giving us that other forward option. I can see Green as a 45+ goal kicker.

Thoughts?

    I do like this idea but I don't know if he should be permantly put forward. When he was out this year we lacked a lot of direction in the midfield. He does straighten us up quite a bit when he's in there.

    Having said that he does have all the qualities of a great leading forward

    If he wants to be on the list beyond 2011, he will play FP.

    If he wants to win a flag, he will play FP.

    We have got Moloney, Davey, and Sylvia as leaders in the guts. Bruce and Junior are destined for the backline and Green the forward line.

    Time for our kids to get exposure.

    Thats where i have him pencilled him in for my team next year!

    Let the young stars have a go in the middle and such, we need them to develop together!

    Could we play him out of the goal square at times and maybe rotate up the ground? He's more than capable.

    Why couldn't he play on a half forward flank roving around the area of centre to forward pocket?

    To me this is the place we can maximise his abilities. I believe Wona and Jurrash will float around the pockets with TEMEL in the square

    Brad Green at FF is a fantastic idea... except for the fact he is just not big enough.

    If they plug the hole in front of him, its not like a defender is going to worry about him crashing into their back like a Fev or a John Brown.

    I approve of Green in the forward line next season. With so many midfielders now I think we can afford to. However, I don't mind seeing him play a role in the middle from time to time.

    Was listening to the All Night Appetite SEN overnight show yesterday and some Melbourne supporter rang up wanting to trade half the team, noting that he "Has never liked Green". I lol'd.

    Interim full forward I reckon while KPF picks this year and possibly 2011 develop in VFL

    Yeah, I would rotate green and sylvia between the midfield and the half forward flank. Don't believe either has the motor to run in the midfield all day but would compliment each other in this role.

    I've thought that Green should be playing full forward for several years now.

    Good mark. Good lead. Great kick. Smart player.

    Will take several marks in the forward 50 each week. Should convert most of them.

    No brainer really.

    I think the idea's right but I also think you're a year too early.

    In 2010, with such a young side, Green will still be needed all over the field.

    He'll end up along these lines though.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
