Imagine Damian Barrett posting on this forum. He would be Zondors x Saintly x Kangatime x Tennis Player Andy x Jack Reacher x Mr Inappropriate x Onip. Has that prick one positive thing to say about the NMFC? :stern look
And it was remiss of me to not multiply the above mathematical equation by 69. :stern look

Is it just me or is the Greene hit on Daniel the most overblown subject of the weekend.

There was **** all in it imo, the ball was in the vicinity of the love tap given and the carry on has been way over the top.

Jude Bolton just called it a dogs act or something very similar and then potted LT at the same time lol

I was thinking along the same lines. Greene and Lindsay are seen as messy, undisciplined players that are always playing at the edge of the rules. This gets under the skin of the more "straight down the line" type guys - I suppose, understandably so. However, the over the top outrage that always ensues is amusing/annoying.

Mumford gets more of a pass than LT does.

Nah, dog act for me.

A bit more than a love tap as well with blood streaming from his mouth as a result of that punch. If it was in the marking contest I'd say it was a little cheeky, but it was a solid jab after the ball had been marked and the contest was over. Will deservedly get a couple of weeks.

He didn't pot LT. He said that each act had to be taken on it's merits and past indescretions shouldn't come into play regarding Greene. He then used LT as an example of this.

It was old school footy from Greene, he made him earn it...

Thats my opinion.

Without the claret(the mouth bleeds so easily) what does he get?

Fair enough, but we know each act isnt taken on merits so why say it and furthermore why drag LT's ass into the discussion?

If the current MRP was around in the 90s, with all the suspensions we wouldn't have made the finals let alone jagged a couple of flags.

I've got no problem with the the ball player being protected, but the current drive to make the game a non-contact sport is ridiculous.
