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?

 

Carlton will get him,  they lack his type.


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.

wut

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
