    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
