Merrett should get looked at for cleaning up Young over the ball 30 seconds later, which I’m sure was just a total coincidence.

Will Jake Jakey Boy The Package Jakey Stringer go for actually punching Young in the head?

Sling tackle on Libba could also be a fine based on the precedent from this year

[bornadog]

There use to be a rule during finals, the punishments were doubled, or was that just the GF ?

Pretty certain it’s just the GF.

The idea of a Toby Tax is flawed as he actually gets looked after - but does a lot of dumb sh!t which warrants penalties.

Cannot believe this continues to be the narrative.

The guy has done more dirty acts on field than the rest of the league combined in the last decade and barely misses weeks for anything. I guess it is a tax in that it hits him financially a lot, but a lot of the times he is fined it should be a suspension.

[Happy Days]

There's no Toby Tax. There's a Toby Paradox brought on by the insistance that the Toby Tax exists, meaning that he can never actually be suspended for anything because he allegedly can't be judged fairly.

The man has been not suspended for fly kicking someone in the head and eye gouging. And if anyone honestly believes that he wasn't trying to intimidate that umpire then they're an even bigger chud than Greene is.

"if his name wasn't Toby Greene....."

His name is Toby Greene.

And Toby Greene is a dirty, stupid prick who keeps doing stuff that warrants a report and suspension.


I am sick of the efforts to try turn him into some sort of culture wars folk hero.

I understand. In Project Mayhem he has no name. On report, a member of Project Mayhem has a name. His name is Toby Greene. His name is Toby Greene. His name is Toby Greene. His name is Toby Greene.

I get people who love watching him play footy, respect the good parts etc.

However, there is an element where he is a relatable hero to angry men/jerks.

The kind of people that watch Breaking Bad and complain about Skyer being a bitch because she doesn't support her husbands change of career into drug dealing.

Ah breaking bad, so good.

Haha, what a great analogy?!

Yeah, the angry men who think if you aren't gross you are just pretending not to be gross.
