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

[barrackers]

Didn't even deserve a fine last week. Sure he plays a little rough, but putting your hands near someone's face is worthy of a suspension? Lol.

Cox suffered a torn cornea, which ruled him out for the year due to an accident poke in the eye. A fine or suspension is the correct penalty for deliberate actions like we’ve seen with Greene.

Last week Greene wasn't even charged with eye gouging. If we're gonna start suspending people for touching someone's face, then we need to start suspending people who commit a high tackle.

It's just non-AFL sources at the moment like Slobbo




They'll appeal for sure and the cynic in me says he'll get off. Hope not - regardless of it being good for us he needs a deterrent before someone is seriously hurt.

I hope he gets off and Maynard shuts him down.

How dumb do you have to be to do the same exact action in the same exact situation 2 weeks running?

GWS really do have a few campaigners in Greene, Finlayson and even Cameron.

Either you are being deliberately obtuse or you have no sense of proportion in this matter. In either case it's laughable.

He was charged with misconduct and was very lucky not to be suspended.
Thankfully his luck has run out.

AND he was found guilty.

GWS v Tigers would rate higher in the northern states.

Your kidding M8 there is more Collingwood supporters in NSW and Qld than there is Giants supporters

The angles I've seen have not been definitive in showing any gouging, so in the system we have, he can't be found guilty. Unless the MRO used a different angle to what we've seen, he should't be offered a suspension.

I don’t believe he has been offered 1 week for eye gauging this week. It was for ‘unecessary contact to the face’. Which can clearly be seen on replay & probably via Brisbanes medical report

No it wouldn't.

The afl always say they dont show all the camera footage they have to the public

Interesting. However, the medical report wouldn't have hurt Greene as Neale said their was nothing in it.

 

[ClaytonM]

Awful decision. Should not be suspended for that.

So attacking the face and eyes is okay with you?

He should have got a week last week. Attacking defenceless players on the ground should attract punishment at the higher end of the spectrum. It is cowardly.

If true, that's BS. Why not be more transparent?

AFL have their own exclusive footage. I dont know why its not shown

The AFL disagree

If Mummy continually puts his knee through Grundy's ribs (if he could lift his leg that high) at every opportunity this week then that is part of the game and playing rough.
Greene doing this sh?t off the ball to the number one player of the opposition while under a pack of team mates is pure rubbish and needs to be ruled out. He is obviously treading a fine line and was warned. Doing it again and there is no way he should be allowed to keep doing it.

If you opt to bump and make head high contact you take a massive risk of suspension. That's part of the game.

Gutlessly raking at someones face is Ok you think? considering he's been warned only the week before.

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Is it appropriate for Collingwood to engage their QC to argue for the prosecution that Cabbage Patch Toby gets 2 weeks?

 

[NeverWobble]

AFL tribunal looking seriously inept at this stage.
Greene sent straight to tribunal last week for serious misconduct arising from a series of actions including unnecessary contact to the face, driving of the forearm into a player’s head, double grab of a players hair forcing player’s head into the ground.
The tribunal is to allocate a penalty based on the totality of these acts.
Receives a fine. (Laughable)
This week offered a one match ban for one offence of unnecessary contact to the face.
If they’d done what they should have and suspended him last week (for 2 matches) they wouldn’t have this debacle and you never know Greene might have got the message and the game would be better for it.

 

[jimmy35]

Obviously a special kind of dumb campaigner to be doing the same type of thing he was found guilty of only last week. Grub will do his time this time around thankfully.

He pulled Bont's hair, and rubbed his forearm in his face. That's it. Two other acts involving hits to the ribs and being pushed in the fence were committed last week in the GWS-Dogs game. Ask any boxer, those hits to the body hurt far more. Those acts would hurt much more than the Greene thing. How much did they get fined? $1,500.

Well it looks like Neale will be giving evidence tomorrow night, which will only help Greene.

 

[AgroMagro]

"...rubbed his forearm in his face."

Comedy gold mate. Crikey.

Didn't eye gauge Bont my arse.
