I rekon pies played pretty well Saturday against EGirls , going to be wet as well which will help them , and without Kelly I think Pies Mids and Ruck will get on top .

What's with the melts over Toby Greene? He didn't push and he didn't get his opponent high.

I'm only 30 so didn't grow up playing footy in the magical unicorn days of the 80s that every old campaigner talks about as if it was decent standard of footy...but come on....Even I grew up with that being fine. You can knee a guy in the back of the head as you take a huge grab or put your boots on the guys head. And you've always been able to protect the drop of the ball with your boots. As long as you don't kick out or cop the guy in the face it's perfectly fine. If you don't want your stop marks to sting in the shower quit playing footy or get some awareness.

That's just it though. He was kicking out. Kicking. Not protecting space, not bracing himself. KICKING. Studs first. Starting with a bent knee and extending his boot towards the opposition studs first. Or standing on one foot, kicking a bloke in the chest to push him out of the drop zone and taking a chest mark. And just quietly, he was fined for kicking Luke Dalhouse in the face last year.

AFL could have fined him or suspended him under the current rules. It’s in the rules that you can’t kick. AFL chose not to.

Don’t know which I hate more, Greene or the whole MRO/tribunal set up. campaigners all round.

 

[sante]

No way Greene should be suspended

I would love to see the prick do it against the wrong guy. Because If he does, someone will take his head off.

Back in the day it would have been squared up. Can’t do that now.

Should have been done for Dahlhaus and the rules should have been tightened up. AFL are gutless

 

[Hoos]

Someone could just snap though.

He won't play so well with Dylan Grimes with him all day (If they make it).

 

[monsterbudd]

what greene does is part of the game, just players choose not to do it.
but now that he does do it and and dont care for other players welfare expect him to get lots of studs in the body from here on.

 

[sante]

Umps need to pay a free and he’ll stop. It’s simple

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Yes. It should be paid a free kick for kicking in danger.
If a Collingwood player retaliates by striking he can argue it was in self-defence.
It would open a legal can of worms.

Too many letting their dislike for the individual cloud their judgment. Toby Greene is a campaigner but he's fine in this case. If the AFL want a less "dangerous action" they can reinstate the ability for players to push with the hands. They wanted it to be elbows and boots only for some bizarre reason so cop it.

I agree that under the current rules he has no case to answer

The AFL should have added in a rule to ban using your studs to protect your space after he kicked Luke Dahlhaus in the face
Now that Greene is a repeat offender, they absolutely must bring it in after this season

um what, Pies GWS

ESTIMATED ATTENDANCE
68,000

The MCC prediction is usually pretty spot on. Why so low

People out and about obviously guarding their wallets/purses with extra care.

I'd go to the Collingwood v GWS final this week, seeing as there are so many tickets, but I wouldn't want to get murdered by the pies fans.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

I was thinking to attend the match, get a last minute cheap seat.
Would sit near GWS supporters and relish if Colling-fraud lost.
They just interviewed Tree-whore on Channel 10 news. Not exactly an intellect.

 

[Sterge]

Tickets been on sale for almost 3 hours to the public and there are heaps left, Richmond GWS would be sold out already

 

[EasternTiger]

I will be cheering on the unruly scrubbers from Vic Park this weekend.

I want us to grab hold of those ill-mannered toothless miscreants the week after, and pulverise them into the hallowed turf until their very hearts and souls disintegrate on a cellular level under the grinding pressure of our merciless onslaught.

To a man, they are campaigners. All of them.
