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.

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

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

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
