Greene's One Week - Mabo, the Vibe, Justice

[Pragmatic Shill]

Can GWS Appeal Again?

Jon Ralph seems to think so.

 

[anshell]

By the way,the Lions must be feeling dirty about this.If he’d been suspended for his attack on the Bont last week,as he should have been,then the lions would almost certainly have won the game.

Can GWS Appeal Again?

Yes they can, and they probably will. The fact that the club always back him is the exact reason he continues to flout every rule and play dirty. They should make a stand and ask him to change, but they won't.

Let them appeal and lose focus on the important aspect of properly planning for the game on Sat. If they appeal, the hearing will be on Thursday.

But posters told me that the Tribunal is corrupt!!!!

Hi Kane Cornes

 

[Rohan25]

Last year he was kicking everyone, this year it’s grabbing people’s faces...I wonder what new trick he’ll bring to the game next year.

What a lovable, misunderstood larrikin he is.

 

[ExcitementMachine]

Yes & I expect they will. It's not over yet.

I'm not sure there was enough evidence to convict to be honest. Even though we know his intentions.

It was overwhelmingly in his favour, the evidence in terms of what was allowed.
If he appeals at the next hearing, do they take into consideration his 17 other offenses, Neale's evidence, Fagan's evidence etc...

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

So why didn’t we challenge big Anthony Rocca back in 03?

 

[mwhop]

Impact is irrelevant . The way the charge was constructed they basically said it was a week for an attempted eye gouge. And who here thinks that his action was something otherwise?

 

[esc0bar]

Witch hunt. Simple as that.

Should not have been suspended.

Watch the reply carefully. It’s not hard FFS.

 

[CFC2010]

I thought he would get fined again.

I was wrong........but this board is getting as bad as the Tigers board now.

 

[foreigner]

But posters told me that the Tribunal is corrupt!!!!

It is, can't you see how these play out? He should have been suspended last week, not this week.

 

[Sun Tzu Buckaroo]

There's only ever really been one hard and fast rule when it comes to the AFL...'Don't embarrass the AFL!'

That's the only reason Toby got one week.

 

[jonbe54]

And the penalty was upheld. Lots of words wasted in this thread casting abuse on the tribunal. In the end, justice, not mob rule, prevailed.

ermm do you want a violin or a medal?

Just let it go mate.

 

[PepperFace]

Im surprised the Chewbacca defence didnt work

 

[Black_White]

For those defending him and saying he shouldn’t be persecuted.
It’s a persons eyes at risk here.
Eyes.
Toby, just stop doing it. Just stop and this grief goes away.
You are a great player, sublime skills, so why this aspect of your game?

 

[PepperFace]

So why didn’t we challenge big Anthony Rocca back in 03?

Cause it was an elbow to the head

 

[manicmagpie]

So why didn’t we challenge big Anthony Rocca back in 03?

We did, and we lost.

 

[sirlothie]

Can't believe there is 26 pages of chat on this issue and he's not even our player. Makes the job slightly easier though.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

ermm do you want a violin or a medal?

Just let it go mate.

Just as you should have let it go prior to the appeal decision?

 

[jonbe54]

Witch hunt. Simple as that.

Should not have been suspended.

TROLL

 

[Matt_352]

Thankyou God for sweet sweet justice

 

[esc0bar]

That's the only reason Toby got one week.

Or you don’t go around on the field raking people eyes while the pinned defenceless below 2 blokes...

 

[joff]

I wasn't expecting that common sense would rule out well done afl
