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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
