Toby Greene goal, haven't seen those much when I watch them
 
Curmudgeon Corner: Hawthorn's goal celebrations last night were just awful and I don't think they helped their cause at all.
Yeah I agree. In one of the Bruest interviews before the game he said that he was told he doesn't celebrate enough after he kicks a goal.

Goal celebrations are the best when they are spontaneous and are not planned or rehearsed. And definitely not after every single goal.

Noticed amongst the MRO findings from last night;

Port ruckman Jordon Sweet has been slapped with a mammoth $7,500 fine ($5,000 with an early plea) for kneeing Hawthorn's Lloyd Meek - the third time Sweet has been sighted for the same offence - while Power forward Willie Rioli can accept a $1,250 fine with an early plea for staging in the third quarter.

Firstly good for picking Rioli up for his staging.
However the first part annoys me.

When Adrian Anderson introduced the original classification system you were suspended for repeat offences, such as kneeing.
Clearly Sweet is deliberately trying to incapacitate the opposing ruckman.
A 'mammoth' $5000 fine, rather than a suspension, seems to me inadequate for an action attempting to injure an opposing player.
Willie Rioli is my most disliked player in the AFL.

Utterly devoid of principles.
 
Zorko did a Heath Grundy
