    I wonder how many of Kennedy, Hannan, Johnstone, and McKenna would have made it on to the list if we had picked up Greene.

    Probably none, which would have solved a number of our current list problems.

    not really, we'd probably still be trying to develop him as a midfielder - lol

    Greene reminds me of Ben Cousins in his early years in more ways than one.

    Gus is a way better footballer in traffic. Forward is precisely the place I wouldn't play him. He looks lost. However, if played off half back or in the middle, he looks very comfortable.

    No he's not. I done even know how you can base that from his small body of evidence.

    Because Brayshaw doesn't turn it over in the midfield or panic, whereas Greene panics and turns it over in the midfield.

    Do we have a no-DH clause? GWS obviously don't.

    Mate Brayshaw has been prone to turn over the ball at numerous times. Was rated a decent kick on both sides on his body and im yet to see that at AFL level.

    There's a difference between pressured turnovers and unforced errors. Brayshaw delivers the latter, whereas Greene shits himself when midfield pressure comes his way.

    No A F... you have your rose coloured glasses on here mate. Look I'm a big fan of Brayshaw and still think he'll be an absolute gun but he is just prone to turn it over by foot without any pressure. He also has the case of the fumbles which the game against Carlton showed this year.

    This is what I was saying, mate. His errors are more unforced, whereas Greene, IMO, doesn't like the hot stuff.

    He did have the fumbles this year, but that's more a form thing, than an implied pressure thing IMO.

    AF if his errors are from simple unforced errors then thats a bigger issue then then turning the ball over when in around stoppages.

    Don't know how you can justify that that by turning the ball over with lack of percieved  pressure is far more acceptable then one thats a forced error.

    I'm not saying unforced errors are acceptable. I'm saying, IMO, Gus is a way better footballer in traffic than Toby Greene.

    Agree to disagree.

    Im just yet to see that from Gus at AFL level sorry to say.

    From what we've seen from both, I can't see how you can find that correct AF. However, seen to little from Gus to say that's the way it will be. Greene is AA and will probably be again this year. Atm he's better in the heat of it than Gus.

    I've seen enough of Gus in the midfield (the back end of last year) and Greene in the midfield to compare them. That's not to say neither one can improve on their deficiencies, but right now Greene struggles in the midfield. He's an AA forward, not a midfielder. GWS were ready to give him up for 'a bag of crisps' as a midfielder.

    Greene is proven, Gus isn't even getting a game at the moment. There is day and night between them. One is a top notch AFL player and the other is a solid VFL level player. That is how big the gap is between Greene and Gus at the moment. Whether Greene was to play forward, midfield, does not matter, he is playing at a level above Gus, and playing a far highly quality of football. I don't mind Brayshaw, but he is absolutely unproven in comparison to Greene.

    I wonder which bag of our crisps GWS may have been after . . . the pick 53 in return? Jeremy Howe? Toby demonstrated his forward capabilities by tearing us apart in a scratch early on - so I imagine there must have been a fairly solid reason not to take him for free.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
