Straight swap - Howe for Toby Greene


Norm Smith's Curse

Recommended Posts

But he is that type, hence why the comment had so much impact. Never under estimate the hate that Toby Greene can generate.

No skill & absolute fl0g of a bloke - would continue to absolutely despise him. Can't believe it was even suggested. Could understand if it were for someone we need to move on like Terlich, etc but suggesting we use Howe for that smug little slag is simply baffling.

My 85 grandfather made the comment while watching Round 2 game this year that Greene has one of those annoying 'American Sitcom kid faces that needs to be smashed in' which is hard to disagree with.

He fits in well with most of the GWS freaks, albeit no dirty pedo mo. Leave him there.

How on earth do you come to "absolutely despise" a kid who had his 21st birthday last year? Unless you're close to that age yourself, but even then, he's just barely an adult who plays for the tiniest club in the league.

The again, good old grandad doesn't like his face.

He comes across as overly smug and arrogant, a trait that's absolutely dispicable. You might like that thing P Man but it really gets my goat.

Would hate to see him in Red and Blue.

He is right though.. having mates playing in the AFL i have had one tell me he is a disgusting bloke and needs a good wack across the chops. He is not respected throughout the AFL due to his wild off field behavior.

He's just lucky he is in Sydney where there isn't much limelight for for AFL.

He spat on a former teammate just this season; he's widely despised by other players and an absolute mess off-field.

Have been told plenty of horror stories from people who've run into him at clubs or the like.

Forgot about that. I remember him and his flash mates gang bashing a bouncer at Caulfield Zagame's. Real tough guy move from a kid who only had his 21st birthday last year.

Jack Watts wouldn't do that sort of thing!

He spat in the direction of. Not condoning it, but he never spat ON the player.

Maybe it's my age. I can't bring myself to loathe someone who has a lot of maturing left to go.

I also don't form my opinions of people based on stories retold from others, especially when it comes to AFL players.

Jesse Hogan wouldn't beat up a bouncer either.

What's your point?

That is very understanding of you, but we won't have the benefit of a Toby who has matured with age - we will get what he is now.

From a straight footballing point of view I would take him in a heartbeat. He is a ball magnet and can play inside and outside. He would be an outstanding acquisition to the midfield. However, you have to weigh that up against the off-field issues and whether he is worth the risk. He is in the old language a larrikin who likes a drink.Is he the sort of guy that needs micro management with very clear boundaries. He seriously wants to play AFL footy and his skirmish at Zagames was a wake-up call. Having said that I have been told that he has no interest in Melbourne but would be happy to go elsewhere in particular the Pies. So the discussion is probably irrelevant.

We don't need Brighton Grammar softies like Salem. Picking up Dawes was bad enough!

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
