We all heard it, Toby Greene, six year deal till he's 31 somewhere between 800 thou and a mill.
So one of the highest paid in the most talent laden team.
I read a post in another thread "I'd take Greene over Betts in a heartbeat" and I got to thinking.
So...
Who would you rather play for your club and on the field playing for the premiership?
I present the following for your consideration:
Eddie Betts
Arguably the greatest forward pocket in the history of the game.
Toby Greene
Arguably the biggest d***head of the modern era.
Eddie, turns up at Carlton pick 3 2004, 5 foot 9 weighs less than 70kilo.
Couldn't read and drank too much
(Eddie has spoken publicly about this)
2010 earns himself a four hr sit down at the cop shop for being drunk in the city but still manages to make it to the club party on the yacht...respec. Cops a 10 thou fine.
2013 not a great year, broke his jaw got suspended for three but kicked five goals in two finals.
He decided to go home to Adelaide reportedly for 2 mill over four years.
Carlton didn't match the offer.
Career
Club leading goal kicker
2010,2012,2014,2015,2016,2017
AA
2015,2016,2017
I can't think of a player more universally liked than him.
Toby Greene ( I'll try and keep this short)
Foundation player for GWS
Pick 11 2011
2012
Nominated for rising star but ineligible because off the ball bump
2014
Club suspension for drinking whilst injured, also while injured managed to get charged with assault with a weapon and assault by..kicking.
Toby was out injured because of an ankle injury.
Club fined him 5 thou.
Toby and his management publicly stated they would contest the decision but seemed to have a change of heart shortly after.
2015
Charged with spitting.
Toby denied the allegations but didn't contest the charge.
2017
Isaac Heeney head butt.
Snotted the smallest player in the comp like some 45 yr old in the magoo's and suspended for two.
Booted Dalehouse in the face while collecting a handpass.
Suspended for two for jumperpunching .
Two other close calls against seperate Port players.
Career
Club leading goal kicker
2016
AA
2016.
Last year GWS missed a home final by 4.1%points, got thumped by Adelaide then thumped by Richmond.
While Toby was suspended they lost to St kilda and just scraped home against the pies by three points.
The captain has come out and said they love it how Toby plays on the edge.
I wonder how that conversation would have gone if it had of been with Cameron Ling, Luke Hodge or McVeigh.
Anyways...
Who would you pick to be part of your team playing on Grand Final day?
I'd pick Eddie, I reckon he'd make it a better club and clubs win premierships.
