Sure, why not?I don’t mind this one, don’t see him as best 22 though.
I do. Him and raz in forward pockets could make a great combination
I reckon Tippa has that role for now.
But still, depth in small forwards? What is this?
Welcome 'Peanuts'
Nobby!
We’ve finally got a replacement for Davey at CHF!
Welcome Josh, looking forward to seeing how much of a mongrel you can be 
.
(going by some of the comments I’ve read on BB, should be good)

Love it. Been wanting him since the start. Great pickup.
Welcome Josh.
"We will challenge Josh to work closely with Performance Coach" I hope this means we need Josh not to be a lazy fat fu$$ that only runs one way.
Lol yep. This guy won’t crack a game under Woosha.
By all means, prove me wrong peanuts
I'm surprised at the lack of love for a guy who has runs on the board as a small forward (and managed to do that in a rubbish side). One big plus from having Hooker front and centre is his ability to bring the ball to ground, which'll suit this bloke to a tee.
He does read the ball well off the pack.
Good pick up. I wanted him in the 2010 draft but we went for A. Steinberg at 31 and Brisbane went for J. Green at 32.
Is this true? What a waste that was.
This is an excellent get in my mind. Firstly, he's miles better than any of our current delistees, and we're getting him for nothing and he should be ready to make an immediate impact. Secondly, he fits a desprete need. Everyone complains about having no small forwards and he fills a need in our biggest weakness, whilst allowing Tippa even further flexibility to be thrown forward or back.. Him and Fantasia together as small forwards are going to cause headaches as both are proven goalkickers. Thirdly he's young, only 24 and you can write off this year as he was injured for the majority so he's still on an upwards curve.The last 3 years of his career he’s kicked: 24, 33 & 25 goals from 17, 20 & 16 games respectively. That’s in a garbage team with a garbage midfield. Name me how many Essendon players have kicked this in recent years and I reckon you can count them on one hand. Give him an opportunity with a rising midfield and he can be a 30-40+ goals a year forward. The guy has great speed and if he keeps committed then he’ll be a fantastic inclusion.
Fkn concur
And bearing in mind he kicked 4 goals against Footscray in R23 2015 coming back off a stress fracture and had a broken foot last year.
Sorry to be a misery guts but I just dont see it. If Green gets a game in front of guys like Raz we are not playing finals
Depth player at best. Some have suggested Green, Raz and Tippa crumbing off Hookesy in fwd line. So how many forwards are we going to play each week. Green, hooker, Joe, Raz, Stewart, Tippa, Langford, Laverde, Colyer, Redman and so on. Not to mention guys like Zac, Parish, Jobe and Zaka resting forward at times.
■■■■ I hope the 2 guys in the back line play well
If he plays ahead of Raz, Walla or Parish I’ll farken flip out

Wouldn’t get a game in front of Raz. If the 10 you listed, Joe, Hooker and Raz are probably the only locks up forward. TIPPA easily down back. Most of the others in the midfield. This all assumes no injuries too.

What if he’s performing better?
I thought we didn’t need top ups anymore?

Good point- anyone coasting along will see Green.
Happy with this also giving him 1 year is great will make him hungry to repay the faith if he wants another contract,
Younger than Hep.
Great pick up.
Hope he can fill the void in my heart that Kommer left
