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.

    We would definitely nominate him.  He will be a Cripps like midfielder. Scary given talent at Giants already. 

    I’d nominate him to annoy Giants and make them use max points to match it.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    What's wrong with his knee?

  • Quote

    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? 

  • Quote

    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?

    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!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
