Toby Greene… again.

[BF Tiger]

Not much in it, but just Toby being dirty again.

Fines don’t work with this guy, and why would they when he’s out of pocket <1% of his earnings across his career.

Greene on report for striking

Giants superstar Toby Greene has been placed on report for this off-the-ball strike on Nic Newman

www.afl.com.au

 

[Tim Evans Beard]

Would be interested in player tracker to see how much goes on the other way as well.

I think he has more to worry about with the umpire contact to be honest.

 

[Tugga27]

Crikey, the lightest love tap of all time.

Selwood was a lot worse and he got a slap on the wrist.

Play on.

 

[Micksy]

Oh boy. Touching an umpire too.. We don't want that!

 

[DazzaTys]

Toby’s a campaigner but I can’t stand players like Newman who have no eyes on the footy, there to block and just play negative crap footy. I think he’s in trouble for the umpire contact though. However Selwood gets a fine for watching a bloke in the back of the head. Precedence has been set.

 

[Underarm]

Striking - Intentional, Body contact, Low (fine) or Medium (1 week)

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

If Selwood is a fine so should Greene. But we all know that won’t be the case

 

[slashin_velvet]

Intentional contact with an umpire whilst getting reported - will the AFL make a stand like they tried with the Curnows?

 

[Colonial]

Fine

 

[Devington]

Really surprised they opted not to cite him for the byplay with the umpire directly afterwards.

 

[Davey33]

He's a champion player. Let's face it

 

[Hoops]

If Selwood is a fine so should Greene. But we all know that won’t be the case

So what happened?

 

[anchor man]

All fines or suspensions are done now under the Toby Greene rule.
Selwood has been know to do things not in a sportingmanner yet seems to be very untouchable.
Every one is equal, but some are more equal than others.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Ahhhh, the GWS get out of gaol card. Agan.

 

[HairyO]

Daniel Howe gets the same fine for turning his body sideways when going for the ball and the Essendon player stuck his head straight over it.

So the guy with the correct action gets penalised for running in to the guy with the bad action.

And the guy who takes a cheap shot off the ball has to pay a fraction of his game fee for being a repeat offender.

Off the ball happens in every game and at every club.
Shouldn’t of even been a fine.

You know the AFL has various tolerance levels pending the player.

The AFL snuck this through. Because it is only a fine no one in the media cares but gives the AFL more ammunition to start charging the Mackay like contests because they are already penalising the same contests with a lessor impact

They have done fines before. But it penalises correct body placement when approaching the ball.

From an early age we were taught to get sideways to the ball as you approach it. But if you go head on and get collected you get a free kick and your opponent cops a fine.

 

[BF Tiger]

Again?

Is Greene in trouble for this high elbow on Dangerfield?

Patrick Dangerfield leaves the field in pain after copping a hit to his throat from Giant Toby Greene

www.afl.com.au

 

[spudmaster]

 

[banzai]

Similar enough to Danger on Vlastuin in the Grand Final? Or more of a second action?

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

If it was Lance..

 

[Grockadoc]

Won't get anything. Bracing for contact. Similar to Danger with his forearm on Vlastuin in the GF.

 

[Sttew]

Crikey, the lightest love tap of all time.

Play on.

Danger off to hospital. Light love tap. LOL
