Straight swap - Howe for Toby Greene

[Dee Gee 148]

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

[P-man 13,224]

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.

Straight swap ??

[SaberFang 7,141]

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.

Greene absolutely fails the "no dikk'eds" rule.

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.

Doesn't qualify via the Richard Cranium policy I would have thought.

[hemingway 7,599]

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.

[TRIGON 4,719]

Sounds like a good cultural fit with the Pie's supporter base (not so sure about the playing group). Shame that he's developed such a bad reputation, can play.

Bulldust the kid had an altercation a few months ago and paid his dues, the kids a ball magnet and exactly what we need, the days of taking Brighton pussys needs to end I hope Roos and co

chase hard

[Biffen 12,370]

No more Brighton Grammar Softies.

Warne-Smith turned out OK,after all what,what......

[Ethan Tremblay 28,468]

Despite him having a face I really want to punch, I'd take that deal.

Sorry does not meet the height requirements

You obviously didn't attend the party, did you?

[P-man 13,224]

I have a fair idea how it would've gone.

I think I might have been there but I can't remember anything about it.

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