By The Roar / Editor

‘If it’s any other player in the competition, we don’t even talk about this.’

There was culture of dirty To play with the niggle so shirty It appealed to the saps We love all the scraps But the fit list ends up around thirty

There was a young player called Greene Who seemed always to be causing a scene Whether it be fingers in eyes Or raising boots to the skies He couldn't help but be seen as unclean

Spot on, he is not even close. Don't forget Libba, Williams and Rhys Jones. The list of players in those eras did far worse than Greene has ever done.

He's listed as 182cm and 83kgs. Not exactly small. Not that has any bearing on his conduct. I like how he just does not care. His tussle with a certain L Hodge was very entertaining. I'll be disappointed if he doesn't play on sat arvo. The booing would be sensational.

Or Toby would have dished 'em out anon. He knows you can't belt people (mostly) otherwise he would. Eons behind Lethal Leigh, Dermie, Dodgey Hodgey, Lewis, Hall. Even nice Mr Gaff's one off assault.

Maybe not, Fagan was quoted as saying that Neale felt contact to his nose.

There were a lot more dirty players in earlier eras than Greene that got away with far worst for their entire careers.

A witch hunt my arse. Greene’s record speaks for itself. He’s a dirty player, who deserves everything he gets and more

The lesser of 3 was called Kane He walked and then came back again He speaks with forked tongue But can’t break into a run Because the Cornes on his feet cause him pain

The majority is almost always wrong! History teaches us that truth!

Greene's a dirty player. In an earlier era he would have smartened up after a couple of well executed shirt fronts, but unfortunately guys like Greene get away with their antics in today's game.

Perhaps Kane Cornes doesn't have a rewind function on his HD television.

There was an authority named Kane Righteous indignation did feign He pleaded for grace But could not save face With the man on the ground in such pain

Cornes sees things differently to most. He’s the Andrew Bolt of the football media. That’s not a compliment, obviously.
