Saying that he plays on the edge is insulting to players who go out every week and put their heads over the footy and try to win it fairly.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Libba plays on the edge, but is not a dirty player - Greene is.

If ever there came a dark day that the Western Bulldogs took that slime in as one of our own, I'd seriously reconsider my membership and support of the club. We don't have scumbags like him.

My membership would be gone if we ever considered this scumbag and I have seen some dirty players in my time. Doesn't need to do all the I am tough stuff as he is actually a very good footballer. Scumbag all the same.

Baz admitted his shortcomings. Grub doesn't think he is doing anything wrong. Vastly different people.

Seem like similar scum bags to me, Barry was a bigger 'thug' than Greene IMO. Didnt he get sacked recently for a disgusting comment?

Spot on, not only did we accept Baz, he was revered for his toughness.
Many fans are fickle with their standards once a player arrives at the club, one years bad boy will quickly become a fan favourite if they win a game or two

Disagree, completely different people. As I've said, Hall admitted wrongdoing, Grub thinks he's fine. Yes, it was a stupid comment, and Hall was the scapegoat for the whole room full of idiots (including the guy who started the discussion, about his own wife.)

Nope. Hall's transgressions never occurred at our club, he owned up to all of them, and worked hard to turn himself around. Grub kicks people in the face, gouges people in the face, and shrugs his shoulders smugly.

Barry king hits people and does the same. Didn't he even do it to Chris Grant of all people?
Hall is from a family of thugs(rumour is the Hall family scared the Hells Angels out of town) and I was lucky enough to see him play from Broadford in the KDFL playing under age football, he made Greene look like a saint. I really don't get the difference apart from one wearing our colours at some stage.

I don't deal in rumours, and the Hall family isn't the discussion here. As I've already said, he owned up to his transgressions, I can't see Grub doing the same. I've explained the difference as I see it, no point going over it again.

He's hardly been a model player, commentator or citizen for that matter. Good on him for trying to turn things around but...
While I'm no fan of Greene if some are going to look at Hall's career in splendid isolation then surely Greene should be given a bit more time to turn things around himself

Yeah, it does seem a bit selective to me.
I'd be fine with us picking up Greene if Bevo thought it was a good idea and would support him as I did Bazza(even though I never warmed to him)
