Little whisper we will be nominating Tom Green, if we have pick 3 and will be happy to take him, if not matched by GWS.

He also has a brother in the GWS academy, which could make it even more interesting.

Best Available talent with Pick 3 works for me.

Strange as it may seem, I was just reading this profile about him from respected draft watcher Knightmare and I like what I’m reading. He’s the grandson of Michael Green, former Tiger premiership ruckman who studied law with me at Melbourne Uni. 

AFL Draft Wrap: Shades of Patrick Cripps in GWS academy prospect Thomas Green

“Green possesses an imposing physical profile at 190cm, 88kg and provides a similar impact around the ball to Patrick Cripps.” 

Just wondering if there’s any vision around because it would be tempting to have a crack at this bloke?

GWS will take him regardless, but it really opens the door to trade that pick to GWS beforehand to give them 2 bites at the cherry. We get pick 6 plus something else enticing. Great potential for a win-win trade.

It would be interesting to see how he goes because if he is rated enough for around pick 3 and our recruiters feeling comfortable about using that pick for him potentially I'd be totally fine with us nominating him to prevent GWS from getting a basic free hit at him.

Micheal Green married a Sierakowski to add to the pedigree. Quality people to go with the physique, maturity and ability. Take him

I’d wager London to a brick that we’ve told GWS we intend to nominate Green if we keep pick 3 and will happily keep him, however we’re also open to the possibility of a trade if they can get us back a pick in the top 10 plus another first rounder/early 2nd, maybe more.

12 & 18 for 6 is a guide.

3 for... 6 & something in the early 20s?

How much do you value sliding back 3 slots at the pointy end? 

Then factor in the high value for GWS because of what they can do with it.

Very good player- but I feel whatever we bid, they’ll match.

 

Therein lies the rub. If they have to match, better to get something decent for Bonar, then throw that in with 6 to us for pick 3.

I was reading earlier on the AFL website that if Jacobs nominates GWS as a free agent their Tomlinson compo will slide back to the 3rd round from the 2nd round. Alternatively they'd have to agree to a trade with Adelaide. Will this impact what they are capable of allocating to makeup the difference to pick up Green?

This guy isn’t gonna play for us but thank [censored] for Tom Green bringing value back to our pick 3 after the AFL reamed us

We just make it plain we will be nominating for Green so let’s do a deal with pick 3 vs your Pick 6 and a player of our choice and some swapping of back end picks or next years to make it work. But who would we want and realistically get from GWS in this scenario? Would they move on a key forward or pacey outside mid? 

Posted

It sounds like it'd be akin to having two Oliver's in the middle. 

Is there any chance GWS wouldn't match our bid, or is all the noise and movement with St Kilda, GWS saying they're desperate for Green?

Would be a great pick up for player morale, but i worry that he may be too old and past his best.

Haha beat me to it. Thought the exact same thing when I saw the thread.

Miss Green was my grade 2 teacher in 1963 at St Scholastica's East Burwood. She was Michael Greens sister and a goddess to us little tackers. I would be so happy if this came to pass.

Very touching but my priority is that he can play footy big time!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
