Dreadful, limited footballer. Anyone with half a football brain who's watched him for 5 minutes could surely see that?

Lol the good old internet forum copy and paste footy post...

    Glad you're willing to put your reputation on the line before the season starts, I'll reserve judgment until I see if he's turned it around or not.

     

    Happy to voice my opinion, Stuart, but think it's far from damaging to my reputation if he does actually turn out to be a good pick up for them.

    That said, I don't think your views on Green have been reserved, so we will know in due course.

    If Green's failure means the drug cheat linger for another year at the bottom, I'm sure I'll convince you to hop on the "we dodged a bullet" train prior to the 2017 starting.

    My view, clearly stated in this thread, was that I thought he might be worth a rookie spot. I said he might be worth a risk pending interviews and testing results.

    Your view, clearly stated in this thread, was that he wouldn't make it.

    Seems pretty clear which one of those views is more "reserved" (hint: not yours).

    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?

    Has some things that would be handy for us, mostly speed, and the whole point of the rookie list is to take a chance right? I'd rather take a gamble with someone like Green than have another vanilla footballer like Michie.

    I guess I see Green as slightly different to Garlett from a potential position side of things. I feel like he could play higher up the ground more often than Garlett.

    24 years old, captained his U18 state team and lead the Lions goalkicking in 2014.

    I'd back our culture to be better than Brisbane's, and I don't think there's anything wrong with Garlett having a bit of competition for his spot, especially seeing Kennedy doesn't really look like providing that.

    Jetta was a forward too. I don't think every player is stuck in a specific role for their whole career.

    Plus, we're not talking about someone we expect to be best 22, we're talking about a rookie spot.

    And as I mentioned in another post, given Garlett's 2016, I don't think there's anything wrong with some competition for spots, especially given Kent is a completely different role and Kennedy isn't pushing hard enough.

    Talented player who didn't perform in the worst culture in the league, has talents that would be valuable to a team building one of the best.

    That's why there's a discussion. Fairly shallow analysis by your usual standards WB.

    Not comparing the players. Nowhere have I said Green will be as good as them. They are examples of delisted players who went on to have great careers after being considered "trash" by thei former teams. This is to show that not every delisted player is "trash".

     

    Seems pretty reserved...

    No more on the topic for me thanks Stuart.  We'll revisit at the end of 2017 (if we need to wait that long), and I will happily have a chat with you about it then.

    In the mean time, I'm out of the thread for fear of getting a ban.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
