Traditionally I’d agree with you, but unfortunately Jacob isn’t in a position he can afford the extra $1000.
Been a tough year for him.

Jacob should have returned serve via the media …… he is a better man than me.

I hate Toby as much as the next person, but there was nothing in the dangerous tackle. Seeing it again while looking at the Weitering stuff and I reckon it's barely a free.
The headlock was the worst thing he did. Did Redman get a week off for keeping Ginnivan in a prolonged headlock? I don't think he did.
The other questionable incident was the punch to the nuts of Gov, which if you watch that again, his fist glances off Gov's elbow.
Greene is a grub, but he did nothing worthy of suspension.

Hope so, last thing we want is him getting 200 at the G and being adjudged Man of the Series
Of course, I know about that but with all the media work he then did for the bank, I would be amazed if he was not paid in full

Read somewhere a while ago he was reimbursed by the Bank.

Now play Classical Gas!
Would it be too obvious if he paid the fine with bottles of Penfolds?

Irrelevant really. We wouldn't meet either until the GF. The chances of it being Carlton vs St Kilda/GWS are pretty low.
Never seen this anywhere and can't find it after a quick search.
I don't think he got anything back. Huge loss and must have taken a massive mental toll for a while.

Whilst he didn't get reimbursed directly for being scammed I do remember reading that he did get money from the NAB with his involvement in the NAB warnings to their customers that followed. Pretty sure he wouldn't have spoken about it so publicly if that wasn't the case.

AFL footballer and NAB customer Jacob Weitering lost his life savings to scammers. NAB CEO Ross McEwan says the bank is working hard to stop these criminals and education remains vital.

An irrelevant meaningless club that strangely live rent free in the minds of some sections of our supporter base.
Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond etc I get but St Kilda? Unless we're envious of their spoon count, why bother..

They seemed to have the wood over us for about a decade even when they were cellar dwellers. That was really frustrating.
Other than that, they're one of those teams that I don't care about. They are not really successful or relevant enough to strongly like or dislike.

Thank you for your response Ferris, the same could be said for just about any club though - they were not pleasant times to be a Blues fan.
I find that so much time is spent essentially punching down on one of the traditionally weaker clubs, slightly unusual, particularly against a backdrop of supposed irrelevance.
Simply, they have the worst supporters.
I think back and all the most unpleasant footy crowd experiences have been at St Kilda games.

I don't recall any mention of money changing hands and can't find a reference anywhere after a search.
Scammers are scum - glad I've never been affected. Feel for our VC, that's one of the worst I've ever heard about.
so.....according to the AFL, standing still to block a path of an oppo player is worth a week off, but if your name is Toby Green, you can perform a dangerous tackle and not even be investigated....
...and the guy who comes to remonstrate with your dog act gets fined...

Not sure where you've been... Toby's copped a multitude of bans...

Greene's tackle wasn't even that dangerous. We'd have been spitting chips in the match day thread if one of our players had a free called against them for the same thing.
The headlock on the other hand...not sure how the AFL can penalise players for incidental head contact in a genuine contest, but seem perfectly happy to ignore a guy putting someone in a protracted choke hold while holding a debate with the umpire about the tackle call. How is a headlock/chokehold not "Rough conduct, high contact" by default?

The way the AFL have handled Toby Bedfords suspension just about sums up the whole AFL for the 5h1tshow they are. The incident was soft and then they go and punish the kid for his first final. We would be ropable if that was one of our players.

What Bedford did should always be a week.
Simple.
They were never going to wipe out the new AA Captain, but someone had to go....
