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.

He stagnated because he wasn't willing to put in the work defensively, why do you think he couldn't crack a game with Brisbane this year

Tbh I don't think anyone at Brisbane was willing to work defensively this year. If Watts can be shown the way, good chance Green can..

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

And he gets caught with the ball regularly at AFL level

Green will nominate for the PSD. Speedy outside mid/small forward type.

Wouldn't be best 22 for us IMO, but at 24 would suit our age bracket and could be handy depth. Plus, coming off injury and out of Brisbane, who knows? Might turn it around.

Thoughts?

I've always liked Green as a player and certainly would not be averse to having him at the club (although not sure how we'd slot him in). He, Rich and Zorko are lions players I've always enjoyed watching go round and wished we'd had on our list.

Why wouldn't he nominate for the main draft? If he's a delisted free agent, he could just walk to whichever club may be interested in him for the PSD.

I could be wrong but I think he's just out of contract rather than a delisted free agent.

Yeah not what we are after.  Just a small forward with no tricks.

He does absolutely nothing for me.  Couldn't cement a spot in the worst side in the comp.  We need to set our aim higher.

That was partly through injury and them having a few small outside types though. I think he has potential to be handy depth. Let's remember we can't have 40 players that are "best 22". We'd get him for free as well.

Averaged 13 touches, 3 tackles and a goal this year in the worst side in the comp. For me, he's worth a shot more (given our needs) than Newton and Michie, and is a step up from Terlich and Grimes in the same way.

I'm not saying I'm dead set on him, but needs v cost I would think it's worth a thought.

Ideally our depth should be players who we expect to come on and be in our best 22. We shouldn't just take nqr's for depth, for depths sake.

Nothing against Josh Green I haven't seen enough of him to make a judgement call.

Fair enough, I might be just too keen for more speed given what our trade period looks like.

He's not a step up at all.  Struggles to find the footy and doesn't kick a heap of goals.  I'd rather take a punt on a kid than put this bloke on our list.  Sorry mate, just the way I see it.

Did he sign a contract at the Lions?  This article says he was keen to sign on, but there is no indication as to whether it was completed:
http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/afl/teams/brisbane/josh-green-commits-to-brisbane-lions-and-wants-new-deal-before-round-1/news-story/78ee2319990ce047d669bd8e36a33a24

The seasons where he played most or all games he was averaging around 27 goals which is not too shabby... he only played 11 games this year because of injury, so that plus the fact that the contract was never signed/withdrawn (if that is the case), would explain his form slump statistically.

As far as our needs go I consider him a step up. Michie is a vanilla plodder and Newton is slow and can't crack a game. I'd rather take a punt on a quick 24 year old given how the rest of our list looks. Given the roles Michie and Newton play and our depth in those roles, I can't see either of them playing at all in 2017.

He's definitely out of contract. Carlton have shown some interest apparently, but he hasn't attracted enough interest for Brisbane to get something back for him.

I believe we do need another small zippy forward. He's the right age, can kick a goal and provide some pressure, but I'm not convinced we should look at him all the same. I'd rather hold off until a slightly better option is available.

He'd be behind Garlett, Kent, Kennedy and Harmes and probably on par with JHK. I think we're pretty right for players like him.

I guess we're I'm coming from is that he played all of his junior footy as an outside mid, and wondering if we could try him as that?

Again as an outside mid he's behind a lot of guys, plus some of the small fwds I listed would move into that spot before he would as well. Don't get me wrong, he's not a terrible player and 12 months ago we could have considered him but right now we're stacked for guys who play a similar role he would and nearly all of them are in front of him.

But who? What quick outside mids do we have? I'm not suggesting this guy as regular 22, but I just can't see we have a lot of midfield speed.

    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.
