I think he had a foot injury in 2016 and only played half a season, worth a punt for mine unless he is a total dickhead.
All the noise I've heard about the Lions gives Rocky the chocolates in that respect.

Green reminds me of old David Calthorpe with those short stubby legs. On a close up camera shot when he runs thos little legs pumping he looks like the fastest man in the world, then the camera zooms out only to find he is about to be run down

Im not saying it just saying what some clubs would be thinking potentially. Its said every year since Fyfe became the big deal.
He gained those 15 kegs after his draft

Is Green a DFA or PSD option?
Green should be cheap, unless another club wants him then its a bidding war and I wouldnt want him then.
Provides ready made depth at the small forward position. Being delisted by a team as shit as Brisbane might be the kick up the ass he needs.
2 Year deal for peanuts or not at all
Rookie List Barrett. The guy is a machine at NEAFL level, give him a year or 2 in the VFL to see if he can replicate his NEAFL form into a stronger competition.
Rookie list X. Richards. Cant Hurt... and hope that he becomes the reverse Ted and playes 200 games for us

Midfield enforcer? lol isn't he almost entirely an outside mid?
.
Add Tippa and McKenna as upgrades.
That said, we have 12 list spots free.
pick 1, 20, 29, 41 & a rookie + the 7 above
Kelly, Dea, Green, Barrett, Richards = a lot of DFA coming in

you can enforce from the outside....perhaps
No he can win the hard footy when it's his to be won but playing of half back it's kind of hard to be an inside mid. He is mostly outside but he can go inside when needed
Last bit of play shows he doesn't mind puting his body over the footy and I've seen him win an incredible contested clearance in the finals. Still think he plays on the flanks but he has the height and marking to trouble the opposition if he plays on a wing or swings forward

not that it matters anyway, we wont be picking him up at pick 1, and he wont last to 20.
Well he could go to Gold Coast and then want to come home and then we all become interested haha. He may still slide but looks destined for GC

Keilty has been talked up all season. My big smoky is Robbie Fox. Guy is a genuine jet.

From 2 sources now. Hard to see which club would be interested im assuming a SA side with pick 13 or 14.
Maybe Sydney moved up for him as a guarantee but they dont pick alot of SA boys.
Maybe Goldcoast
By looking at what Twomey said id predict the draft order to be this so far.
1. McCluggage (ess)
2. Mcgrath (Gws)
3. Ainsworth (Bris)
4. Bowes (GC suns)
5. Sam Petrevski Seton (Carl) - cant believe they would go down this road
6. Tim English (GC suns)
7. (Freo)
Then after that it looks a little unclear. Freo would be disappointed to miss both WA boys. IMO the best 2 kids would still be on the board which i wouldve loved to have got both.
Think things will become more clear in the week leading up to the draft we should slowly start to hear a few things
Yeah i get it, dont wanna miss out on the next Fyfe/Bont.
Surely in that scenario Freo take Brodie? Would be really hard to go past him.

Almost certain Carlton go with Brodie. Doubt Gold Coast let him get past 6 either.

Someone has to slide i just hope its not him.
Mccgluggage, Mcgrath, Bowes, Ainsworth, SPS, English, Taranto, Logue, Brodie, Simpkin, Hayward, Florent, Berry, Scrimshaw, T.Marshall, Venables (Thats 16) and id be happy with any at 20.
Considering the strength of Non Vic sides in the top 20 all we need is a vic boy to cry wolf of not wanting to leave the state and we end up with a gem.

You know more than Twomey?
I am staggered that poster think that Josh Green would be close to the best 22 next year.
If we are asking him to be more team oriented and less one dimensional we are asking him to be Fantasia and Tippa. Green's best footy is miles behind those guys.
Take a step back and look at a team, and the sorts of players you want playing in that team. How do you fit Green and everyone else into it? The only solutions are Tippa at half back, where he is a defensive liability and squeeze out McKenna, Kelly, Dea or Gleeson, and Fantasia on the ball which squeezes a midfielder out.
You'll have to excuse me if I'm not excited by the prospect.
