Live Event Toby Greene fronts the tribunal - Suspension appeal

[gimp!]

The Greene hate is hilarious

Plays on the edge, gets it done in big games and hasnt crossed a line doing so

Explain yourself, which line are you talking about?

 

[smeltitdeltit]

I stand by it.

Trial by media.

Giants will fight it and will get off.

Your AFL welfare privilege is showing.

Stratton got a week for pinching after a weeks scrutiny and stupidly doing it again. Ie. take the hint and stop was the message, he didn’t and copped a week.
Should be ditto for Greene.

When Stratton(a guy with no record) pinched an arm all game, the AFL called it misconduct and asked for a suspension.

When Greene(a guy with a record as long as your arm) goes searching for a players face in the bottom of a pack and then slams his head into the ground by the hair the AFL call it misconduct but then ask for a fine.

That was the biggest call out from last weeks tribunal hearing.

Geez you would think after winning the free kick count 34-28 and losing by 10 goals and having 100 less disposals you would be happy, but nope.

Pretty sure they’re happy your mob selected Billings before Bont.

 

[enobrien]

Obviously didn’t mean to like your comment. Mate, pulling hair is weak, gutless and cowardly thing to do. If you think that is acceptable then maybe your a bit of a grub too. I don’t hate Greene, wish he was a Tiger.

I agree it's weak and cowardly, wouldn't do it myself.

Have no problem with a player sticking up for his teammate who just got picked up and dropped on his head either. It's finals footy, he hasn't hurt anyone.

 

[enobrien]

Explain yourself, which line are you talking about?

The line to seriously hurt or injure someone, like your man Bont did with his suplex.

 

[campbell]

Funny if was for some other incident last night?

 

[enobrien]

Funny if we for some other incident last night?

English?

 

[Testekill]

Turns out that just fining a repeat offender does nothing to change their behaviour, what a shock

 

[cleanhands]

Brilliant post. Found one right here

 

[campbell]

English?

Corrected.....darn spell check....

 

[ep2018]

The incident itself wasnt worthy of a week however he did this shit last week and obviously didnt learn his lesson, a week perhaps is warranted this time.

If for example Nicnat threw another bloke into the fence against Geelong I'd expect he'd get a week too for the same reason.

 

[ExcitementMachine]

Not sure how they can win the appeal though. It's back to back repeat almost identical offense, first one he pleads guilty... second one he chalenges
The AFL is unpredictable but still...

 

[nylexbandit]

Only difference in incidents being the opponent in the following week?

Toby Greene has been targeted by someone powerful. Doesn’t make sense otherwise.

The line to seriously hurt or injure someone, like your man Bont did with his suplex.

The fact that you use that particular line to defend a guy and his actions is pathetic. Might be wise for you do sift through the now 18 charges that have been laid on him through his short career.
(Not to mention the fact that he kicked a player in the face with his studs, and punched a player in the face, actions with intent to seriously injure the player, hence crossing your pathetic line)

Are you for real.
A real average look for the AFL to sponsors having a player do this repeatedly.....

Are we talking about the past or the weekend?

 

[Struggle]

Will they actually play the footage this week at the tribunal?

[ExcitementMachine]

It would be pretty audacious if he was to appeal this.
It would also be audacious if the AFL were to *wink wink* overturn it. The fact that they have sanctioned him suggests it would be audacious from here for Greene to appeal.

Nah he’s a scapegoat. Plays on the edge but nothing worth a suspension and everyone just heaps their own shame on him. Media and public are grubs.

 

[gimp!]

Dude, you made the post. You weren't quoting anybody and made a general statement about Greene. I'm replying to that statement.

 

[Bay Giant]

Yes. AFL cheating. Former Collingwood player, suspending Giants gun player, for one week leading up to a Collingwood v GWS Prelim.

Cheating confirmed!

bit hard to debate this with someone who has limited understanding of the game
