The Bont incident with Haynes was a football incident, not one bit of malice or intent. Stuff happens in footy, it’s not footy anymore if Bont gets rubbed out for that.
I thought Natanui's incident was worse
Mitigating factors ...
- Merritt was not prone. His arms and legs were free so that he could defend himself (unlike Bont)
- Naitanui’s was a direct retaliation (rather than a “flying the flag” incident). Neither are good, but the “flying the flag” incidents tend to be frowned upon more because of the higher risk of it escalating into a melee
More salt from dogs fans than on maccas fries
Maybe you should of wondered why none of your own flew the flag.
He is a filthy, arrogant, grub of a human. The AFL suggests a fine, give me a spell. Anyone who honestly believes the AFL gives a f$&k about having a fair and unbiased comp is delusional. Hope he runs into the post and it wipes that smug look off his face.
I was ******* wild when Hodge did it to Wingard but smashing Greene into a post i'd be ok with after that incident.
On the Naitanui topic even taking off my eagles coloured glasses. If i was in a scrap in any part of the ground and someone pulled my hair all gloves are off. Whether that's the centre square, next to the fence, on the goal line. I would have had zero social outrage if one of the dogs team mates went straight up to greene and laid him out and feel that's exactly what I would have done if I saw what Greene had done to a team mate of mine or if I was Nicnat.
Eye gouging, Hair pulling, stomping, tripping, elbowing the face etc are all horrendous acts against the spirit of the game and I am very much a country boy who was raised to believe an eye for an eye.
And they say I'm one eye'dThe Bont incident with Haynes was a football incident, not one bit of malice or intent. Stuff happens in footy, it’s not footy anymore if Bont gets rubbed out for that. With Greene, it’s never a football incident but always dirty, low and malicious. His record on and off the field speaks for itself.
Ditto - NicNat was responding to getting his hair pulled, he didn't instigate the exchange. He's not in the dirty Greene/Merrett category.Eye gouging, Hair pulling, stomping, tripping, elbowing the face etc are all horrendous acts against the spirit of the game and I am very much a country boy who was raised to believe an eye for an eye.
We all are, that’s what makes footy great. We (Dogs, Giants) have a real, non manufactured rivalry, there’s history now, big finals, many say the greatest game ever! your coach and captain are bulldogs, then you pinched our captain, we pinched your number one draft pick, who helped win us a flag. You have a pantomime villain, in Greene, who has performed much of his villainy against us. We’ve argued on our BF page who is the biggest traitor Ward or Griffin, the results are still fifty fifty. This is real. Gold Coast has none of this. Your franchise is becoming a club, with history.And they say I'm one eye'd
If I was a dogs fan I would be more worried about why your team had no one flying the flag. No one backing team mates.
Interesting that the Dogs fans are so against Toby Greene.
They are a club that venerates Tony Liberatore.
I assume they all think he is a top notch bloke.

Fairly certain it was Kelly who got backslammed and facialed by Bont
Fair enough.nope. definitely Lids who was suplexed WWE style.
I thought Natanui's incident was worse
you are in the majority of sensible people.I might be in the minority but I thought the fine was on the high side and no suspension is fair.
Nic Nat was lucky not to get a week, Green won the lottery
Yep absolute idiot confirmed.ffs mate, get off it. Ask any neutral supporter and everyone says the same, you copped the biggest armchair ride in grand final day..
