Can't believe some of the crap you read here. You'd have to add a Pick in the 5 to 10 range PLUS Brayshaw to get Toby Greene. 

Lately, Toby has shown why Roos didn't take him for a 'packet of chips'. 

"It’s the third incident in three weeks that Greene has been involved in. He escaped suspension for headbutting Sydney’s Isaac Heeney last weekend, while he was fined for striking Port Adelaide’s Aidyn Johnson in Round 4...Those incidents also came after two in the JLT Community Series involving North Melbourne’s Sam Gibson and Sydney’s Harrison Marsh".  http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/toby-greene-reported-for-striking-caleb-daniel-during-gws-giants-clash-with-western-bulldogs/news-story/9456f4c182e681d53b80ca8403647463

Apparently, his characteristics that led to his club imposed 5 week suspension in 2014 were well known. And, Roos was working for Sydney up to end of 2013 so would have kept a very close eye on the young Giants.  Roos probably figured once a DH, always a DH.  He is the sort of guy who can win a game but also the one that gets himself rubbed out for the big dance and costs a club the premiership.  

Anyway we had/have our own feisty terrier:  Jack Viney.  Roos probably figured one terrier in a team is enough!

Viney is a crazy terrier but he's never been a sniper

His off field incident was a long time ago. 

We are not really looking for choir boys hopefully.

He has had more than one off field incident. And the one i assume you are reffering too is where he was injured and got in a fight outside a pub where he used his crutches to belt the other bloke. That is taking stupidity to a whole new level.

l have heard a few stories about Greene over the years because i know someone who went to school with him. 

I'm no advocate for recruiting robots but Greene is a trouble with a capital DH.

I like the crutches story.

I like him even more now.
