Anyone know where you can get a round-by-round comparison of the age/experience of the teams that play?

Collingwood is an incredibly dumb football team, and has bad skills on top, I don't understand how we let them get 50 points in front

Also a ~30% chance the Saints will fall behind Hawthorn so that pick you're getting...

Also no matter what happens you've at minimum upgraded us 2 spots and gave us two free 2nd rounders in exchange for a player who didn't even hit my "games for the season" prediction. Thats not something to be gloating about when you're on the precipice of a major re-build.

Nathan Schmook in an article where we've actually got to have a discussion about whether or not putting your studs into someone's face is a bad thing posted:Greene knew Dahlhaus was closing in and he used the studs of his boots to protect himself. If the MRP think that is reasonable the case is closed here. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-12/analysis-five-toby-questions-for-the-mrp-to-consider

I've heard serious division over whether he should go or not. Real nothing in it versus give him the guillotine poo poo. I don't think Greene deserves benefit of the doubt anymore so I'm on team guillotine

Being as generous to Toby Greene as humanly possible, the facts of the matter are: He was off the ground and stuck his foot out, studs first at head height. His foot hit another player in the face causing blood to be drawn. So, by an action he chose to do, he caused at least 'medium' level physical damage to an opposition player. No-one is disputing any of this. So quibbles about intent, or whether it is legal to protect your space with the sole of your boot in a handball contest aren't really that relevant. A player injured another player with head high contact. Surely that is at the very least careless, if not reckless. And with Toby's record that should get him at least a week. Also all this is being generous, because my personal opinion is he kicked a man in the head, and is whinging that he did nothing wrong. The protestations of "Hey i only kicked him in the face, that's what footy is all about" from Greene and Cameron should get him another week IMO

I just can't stand the response from the likes of Carey and Ling falling over themselves to defend Greene. EDIT: It was funny watching Danny McGinlay on the Ch 7 sunday footy show mocking the Greene kick, Stevie J and Deledio really didn't look happy about it. Also Deledio came across as someone who enjoys their own bath water. Spedman fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Aug 14, 2017 |

The problem I have with people arguing for Greene to be let off is that nobody is arguing you can't put your leg out to defend yourself, but can anyone actually name the last time a player got kicked in the face as a result of that action? So it can't be considered the same as if it was the usual cleats the stomach that players will occasionally cop. It's not that Toby Greene was just unlucky, you don't get to stick your foot out at head height to an oncoming player and be considered the unlucky one. Also fox footy are currently projecting that if things shake out in the remaining 2 games then the Dees will be lining up on the Swans in week 1 of the finals. poo poo.

There wax some chatter about this over on r/afl. From what I've read he should never have been umpiring, if the rumour about him having cousins on cooks team is true.

I loving hate the hand wringing over if Greene gets suspended then 'football is dead' or some poo poo like that. There are ways to protect yourself outside of sticking a boot in someones face like using a knee or your hips or even getting studs into someones guts. But instead people are just going like 'if it wasn't Greene then there'd be nothing in it' when that kinda is a factor when decided if someone is enough of a sociopath to kick someone in the face.

Football will be dead, because it happens all the time apparently. Except I can't remember the last time someone got kicked in the face running back with the flight.

If not, then the league is sending the message, "It's perfectly fine to intimidate the umps, and if you are too polite to do it, just get your dad to take a swing. It'll be OK" For as much as everyone here loves hanging poo poo on the umpires, they need to be protected from this kind of poo poo.
