    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.

    Very ugly hit. Because it's GWS he'll get one week down to 0 with guilty plea.

    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.

    Agree to disagree.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
