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...

No idea what that means.

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.
