Brad Green discussion

Brad Green is a talented player, I have no doubt about this, but has Daniher tried to make him something that he's not?

Successful clubs use their players in such a way that gets the most out of them, but I think that we as a club play dumb football, and Green is a good example. As a forward he is quick and bloody hard to match up on, he's also a great kick meaning if he gets pushed out wide he's still very dangerous, but for some reason Daniher has decided to try and make him a midfielder. I've lost count the amount of time I've seen him running across the backline thinking to myself what a waste of talent having him so far away from goal. Would a Roos or Matthews try and do the same thing with one of their players?

I think he lacks the real hard edge to be a good midfielder, leave him close to goal so he can really hurt the opposition with his disposal.

    Its an interesting discussion, because we all know how well he can play when he goes forward. In the midfield, his skills are an asset I think, and contrary to popular opinion he does go in hard for the ball. I think where he plays should be based on the personnel in the team at the time. He should play forward in situations like we have at the moment, as we need a good leading forward in the absence of Neitz and Robbo. However, I like him in the midfield, especially off a wing as he can make precise passes into the forward line ... more so than someone like Godfrey, Bate or Ward.

    He should play up forward more. No good in defense, as in- he's wasted if he plays there. And the occassional on the Ball role, perhaps he should be in a role swapping with Davey into the forward line.

    Its something that i have believed and reported on here for over 2 years, ever since he moved midfield. Unlike Moloney, McDonnald, Bruce and McLean when he gets the ball he looks unsure of what to do with it. I have always HATED him midfield. Yes hes tough but he can be tough forward. He has always been good at goal (although i suspect now that he isnt as he has less kicking practice at training - more midfield stuff) but he has shown he still has the goods forward. I have never been happy with him midfield and never will be. ND is an idiot for making green something he isnt and personally i dispise him for making my once fav player now my not

    Don't forget Brad Green always wanted to play midfield. That was probably his goal and maybe ND is just showing faith in him?

    Despite that I'd expect to see him at full-forward this week.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
