Way too inconsistent.

We already have Harmes, Kennedy and Kent who all struggle to have an impact on games, we don't need another.

    Depends on the price. I wouldn't say no immediately.

    A bit harsh on Kent, his second half of the season was pretty consistent for a small forward. Green is a lot quicker than Harmes and Kennedy.

    I would.  Poor man's Ben Kennedy.  We have enough of these types of players, he doesn't fill a need for us at all.

    Not even close to a "need".
    Don't want to become the new Richmond, or the old Melbourne.

    we have plenty of this type and all of ours guys are better players than him, i hear Richmond are looking for more spuds?

    I agree we should get another small forward.

    If it's a choice between Green & picking an unknown kid in the rookie draft, i'll take the rookie draft.

    If we keep JKH we have another one, seems his injury woes may be behind him (hopefully)

    Sorry, he's not currently a Melbourne player so you have somewhat of an opinion now?

    Fair enough to have that opinion but feel free to provide some reasoning rather than just throwing up a player who has achieved less and shown half as much at AFL level with mediocre pace for his role.

    Josh Greens first 3 seasons at AFL. 0 Goals, 15 goals, 24 goals.

    JKH: 9 goals, 2 goals, 0 goals.

    If its based on talent, Green is the easy choice but there is obviously some issues he has with preparing like an AFL footballer.

    Ok, from what I have seen of him..........he has speed.......

    The knock I heard on him was one that occurs with a lot of small forwards, alright kicking goals, defensive efforts leave a lot to be desired

    There you go chap

    Bit unfair on JKH when he has been plagued with hamstring issues for last 2 seasons

  • Quote

    Wouldn't say no, have seen him play some good games and genuinely excites BL fans, kicked 33 goals in 2014.

    You could argue development stagnated due to circumstance of being at a troubled club. Change of scenery, swap for Grimes could work for both.

    Grimes, free agent, can't trade.

    Thought we were talking very early about Brad Green's son!

    Not sure he and Garlett could play in the same side. Both small, one dimension forward pockets. So I'd rather stick with the one we have for now rather than take a list spot when we've got a lot of other needs.

    JKH is far from quick. I don't care what you 'see' at training, he has t shown it at all at AFL level.

    He hasn't had a chance to show it with the injuries, did you want to get rid of Hunt last year, I didn't from what I had seen at training and the couple of games I saw him play, Brendan McCartney rates JKH, that will do me, whether that means he stays on the list who knows, we also have BenKen who can fulfill that role and also rotate thru the midfield. What has Green shown this season at Brisbane?  Will await your answer with interest

    I've said nothing about Green being a0ny good, didn't even mention him in my post?.

     

    JKH has shown 0 pace at AFL level, he has a nice sidestep but isn't any quicker than the average player.

    I beg to differ, if he could hit full pace without continually damaging his hamstrings, which by the way they think they have fixed, he is far from slow, and the average player has to be quick now, hence the angst on here about Trengove's supposed lack of speed

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
