Way too inconsistent.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
