now there is a player i would take in a heartbeat.....he was supposed to be drafted by us the first time round...but for some reason i have never been able to understand ..we took that flower cadyn beetham....green's a champion....

'Another high-profile player who could also be on the move is Melbourne's Brad Green. The Demons' utility player remains undecided on his future, despite being offered a new three-year deal by Melbourne. Following a drawn-out saga over the length of a contract extension, Melbourne revised its initial two-year offer and agreed to a three years last week, but it is believed Green has not ruled out moving to another club."

Green is overrated....

He doesn't perform consistently,he'd be our new Kosi....

We'll end up with at least one player heading to the Saints during trade week,i just hope it's not a GOP with one sided skills who couldn't hit the side of a barn from 10 meteres ,with either foot......

Soft, outside, front runner.

Cant believe people are talking about trading Dal Santo and bringing in Green *rolls eyes*

He isn't leaving Melbourne. Pure speculation by some hack journo.

Even if he did leave, he would command a huge salary plus a first rounder.

Aint gonna happen.

He is a good footballer, but my concern is about his hardness, and his ability to play when the chips are down (usually a mental state of mind).... No doubting his skills though whatsoever, lovely left foot...

Exactly.

Id much rather Harris.

Why couldnt there be a mixture of Harris and Green?

Hmmm Cousins.

Green should have won a brownlow if he adapted himself as much as some elite footballers do...

I remember Grant Thomas saying that he is a quality person and has great character and has load of talent...

But that means stuff all if you don't really put in the hard yards IMO...

Green could have been anything, he has so much natural ability, but to me his endeavour is lacking...

A waste of talent IMO...

If he had the same amount of endeavour, courage and fitness as Roo, Green could have been an absolute champion IMO..

Sadly IMO, he lacks in those areas and he would demand top dollar...

Yes a great player but at 27, would be demanding top dollar and IMO lacking the above qualities...

NO

Green went up in my opinion this year. Undoubtedly a downhill skier in years past but really stood up as the Dees' best player in a shocking year.

Personally I think he'd be damn good value as the 3rd tall forward. He's a beautiful kick at goal & can take a solid grab.

If Melbourne are having a fire sale & we can get a reasonable deal done then I'd go for it.

I'd rather Nathan Carroll.

Green will go to Brisbane with the other coloureds.....Brown and Black.

Saying Brad Green is soft just goes to show how little of you have seen him play. Glenn Archer he ain't, but he's always the first to put his body on the line to take a mark to save a goal, and he always, without exception, goes when it is his turn.

If you're interested in soft Dees players, Chris Johnson is all yours.

SaintWodonga · Fri 10 Oct 2008 1:49pm

Green has just signed with the Dees for 3 more years!

I don't believe he is soft, but I do believe he is lazy, has all the skills to be a champion, but he aint.

Just ask yourself WHY???

mightysainters · Fri 10 Oct 2008 6:23pm

umm yes he is soft... alright player would be in our 22... but is soft...
