Gun basketballer has just quit the Perth Wildcats.

http://www.smh.com.au/sport/basketball/hugh-greenwood-walks-out-on-perth-wildcats-to-pursue-afl-career-20150820-gj46vy.html

Is the grandson of a 3 time MFC Premiership player Peter Marquis

Not sure who he's signed with but if he's walking away from a contract he must have something lined up. Would count outside the salary cap and the rookie list.

I hope in a shallow draft it's us. Westrupp didn't work out but this guy seemingly has better credentials at 191cm and 93kgs and having played as a junior.

Check out his highlight tapes:

He can shoot, rebound, dunk, if he brings that athleticism with a footy background he's got to be worth a try.

    Apparently has previously been linked to Collingwood (possibly signed prior to joining the Wildcats?), Adelaide may have some interest.

    I heard a few bits and pieces about us looking at Shaun Smith's basketball playing son as a rule 2 rookie.

    Greenwood well worth a look.

    And several off them.

    According to a few twitter reports he's signed with Adelaide. Who were also the front runner to Alex Keath.

    Blicavs might be the best product of this non footy rookie rule, in fact he might be about the only good one, we will see how the US bloke goes for the Saints. On the whole though it looks like a so far small but possible decent advantage for the rich clubs who can afford to take chances with 2 of these guys. In Greenwood's case if he's giving up a professional basketball career I'm guessing he's getting paid more than an average rookie.

    As a young kid Peter Marquis was one of my favourite players in that very strong Melbourne side of the 50s. It would be a pity if his grandson turns out to be a great footballer and plays for anyone other than the MFC but it seems we don't have much interest in this left of centre type of recruiting.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
