Really??!
I loved that shit! (it was pretty tame, just enough to rattle his cage)
I think we need more of that mongrel.
Shits me to tears when I see them; shaking hands before the game, talking like they're old mates and having a chin wag after the game. Own these pricks! |
yep, i think when a player is on the ground out of play and clearly hurt, you leave him alone. also, if a player is hobbling to the bench, you leave him alone. Imagine a guy on the ground with a concussion and you push him around? imagine,rse even wothat he has a spine injury and you e on.pil Low class stuff and potentially dangerous. When player is "in the game", he is fair game. When he is hurt, you leave him alone. |
Oh FFS, he was tying his bootlace!
How dramatic do you want to make it!
Sometimes it's best to say nothing chump.  |
Interesting viewpoint. So in order to tie his shoelace he had to hobble to the bench and get his ankle strapped and he was pretty much done for the day. That is a pretty serious "shoelace".
Idiots like you who don't let people have different views to their own continue to be a taint on Nicks. Grow up - FFS #whoistherealchump |
You're the idiot! .... you just had a go at me, for having a different opinion to you, for having a different opinion!
Your babbling crap on every thread is a taint on Nick's.
Read through some if your own opinionated crap before having a snipe at someone with a different view than yours... clown! |
Never started one fight on Nicks in 8 years. Finished plenty though. You can be next if you really want to be ......
I love how people cant just back off when they realize they were a little out of line and OTT in their responses. They always have to get all macho, beat their big tough chests and double down. Never noticed that was you skids, but i guess you can bring it on if you really need to ....

What Greenwood did on Saturday against Zorko was fair and reasonable. Zorko wasn't laying prone on the ground he was on his knee tending his ankle. It's not like the guy had been laid out. Greenwood was not unduly rough at all. And when Zorko was jogging off the ground Greenwood did not even touch him, just niggled him verbally the whole way.
Greenwood did exactly what I would have expected and it worked! Zorko was no where near as effective against us on Saturday as he was earlier in the year.
You must be forgetting Hawthorn from a couple of years ago - 'unsociable' I believe it was referred to. Richmond are doing it now, too.
We need a lot more like Greenwood.

| If Greenwood cops any penalty we just need to rename the AFL to the AFLW and extend their Season. |

I am with E on Greenwood getting involved physically while Zorko was suffering.
I admire the role that Greenwood did for us again on Saturday, in shutting down one of their stars, but I don't condone targeting seriously injured players at their most vulnerable.
I am also a supporter of getting rid of all the off the ball 'tough-guy' punching while a guy has his back turned that occurs at the start of games etc. The ridiculous in your face slamming your body into someone that has just missed a kick for goal or made an error, like Caleb Marchbank of Carlton is prone to, is also ridiculous. I see it replicated in junior football and it is a blight on the game. Duck back into a pack or put yourself over the ball, even make your presence felt in a tackle if you wish to intimidate and send a message about your intent.

Please. Greenwood barely budged him.
He must go to Gray or Wingard (if he plays midfield) this weekend.
Quite simply, when Greenwood tags, he wins. It’s a no brainer now with our depleted defence. Greatly helps limit opposition supply when he sits on a key play maker.

In the same round of footy, we had Betts go up to Heath Shaw and wish him the best as he was being carried off with a knee injury.
Put it this way, I would rather my kids see that on TV than the Greenwood antics ( which weren’t much but they were unnecessary ) |

I also think Greenwood’s effectiveness as a tagger will improve as his fitness builds up. Most players being tagged look to blow up their antagonist with hard two way running. The fitter the tagger, the more difficult it is to shake him off with hard running.
Greenwood’s had a lot of set backs this year, so he is probably only now gaining peak fitness. I’m sure there are more tagging jobs in store for him but you still have to pick the right type of player to set your sights on ( and it’s not always the oppositions best inside mid ) |

| My Tweet back to the club. "Apparently Zorko had to wash him off in the shower. Mick "The Glove" Gayfer would have been proud of Levi's game". |

In their defence that was nearly 20 years ago.
