Live Event Toby Greene fronts the tribunal - Suspension appeal

[SickQwon]

Tissue?

Games gone soft.

This is the reason why. I hope you're happy. Football is the real loser.

 

[Daniels Riches]

He didn't eye gouge anyone ya goose.

Also why bring up chicken wings anyway?

Man you Lions fans sure have the market covered for Sour Grapes.

Anyhow hopefully Toby can finally learn from this and reign in his on field temper.

The hatred towards the bloke is extremely excessive and over the top.

Not sour at all mate! I am EXTREMELY PROUD of what our boys have achieved this year. It’s almost like a feeling of a proud father. Exceeded my expectations by a mile. Great list, great culture, great coaching staff, great future...

Was only having a little friendly dig with the chicken wing mate, but you are right, it was uncalled for. Apologies.

Toby’s pattern of behaviour clearly shows that he hasn’t learnt. Almost to the point where he is incapable. I really don’t think that even missing a Preliminary final will change his attitude. Some people just don’t learn from their mistakes.

How many chances do you want the footy public to give him? He is like the Bernard Tomic of the AFL. An unbelievable talent, but just a very ordinary guy. In my (and many others) opinion he has overstepped the mark too many times and has run out of mulligans.

No sympathy here for Toby.

Neale saying he didn't make contact with the eye, along with inconclusive footage surely meant he had to get off.
Tribunal surely has to make decisions based on evidence, not sure what evidence was used in convicting Greene.

GWS are saying they haven't ruled out an appeal, this might not be over yet,

GWS should just focus on this week. Dragging this on any longer will be a detriment to the team for Saturday. (mind you not having Greene is too)

 

[Colonial]

What are the avenues available?

I have to say, I never quite understood what Caro was going on about re. the AFL not liking the Giants, but this really does look like the AFL just finding a random reason to poke GWS

They want us competitive in finals not winning the thing.

They don't want us to ruin their hope for a GF between 2 of the Big 4.

 

[Plugger35]

I think it is a week for stupidity.
Was lucky last week and did not learn. Made the AFL look stupid
You always get a week for that

Maybe in the regular season, being suspended for a prelim final is a much bigger penalty than being suspended for a regular H&A game.

 

[Yidaki]

If the AFL is down the line then a lot of players are going to get a week from now on.

Nah. Greene is the only player at the moment who deliberately attempts to eye gouge.

 

[davemc_lions]

Can people stop talking about last week and isolate this incident?

do not think the AFL did.. just pretended they did.
Looking at the extra vision of Bont one it was worse

 

[Gigantic]

Bit of a joke that more than half of the ex-players on the tribunal were Collingwood players

GWS are saying they haven't ruled out an appeal, this might not be over yet,

Need to have grounds, other than the deplorable’s usual - ‘God has it in for me, and always has’.

The round or game isn’t taken into cosideration. There is no “finals game discount”

 

[Adz]

Need to have grounds, other than the deplorable usual - ‘God has it in for me, and always has’.

They conducted the longest tribunal hearing of 5 years tonight. They have nothing more to argue. They’ll accept tomorrow morning.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

The AFL are so corrup, whatever gets them there precious Rich v Coll gF
**** I hope they both lose only because it will give the honchos at VFL house the shits.

 

[The 747]

Amusing result from the 'make it up as we go along' AFL. They should have suspended him for the Dogs one, now they suspend him for one that is not really warranted because they should have suspended him for the Dogs one.

 

[Blueboys11]

Were 2 out of the 3 jury members ex Collingwood? Paul Williams and Shane Wakelin. Geez not much conflict of interest there. Can we get some ex Carlton or Essendon on this jury

 

[davemc_lions]

Maybe in the regular season, being suspended for a prelim final is a much bigger penalty than being suspended for a regular H&A game.

its the tribunal.. it works in mysterious ways.
Almost more hope picking lotto numbers then what they will do Hence why fans frustrated.

 

[Duskfire]

He shouldn’t have gone for that. Looks like nothing happened? Neale said all was good. Don’t understand what he was suspended for.

 

[Tig017]

Games gone soft.

This is the reason why. I hope you're happy. Football is the real loser.

It sure has. Makes me sick players aren't allowed to get away with claw gripping other players faces.

 

[Blueboys11]

A few w***ers in here said. That wasn’t the charge anyway.

Don’t know if Lachie Neale or Chris Fagan Post in here

 

[Yidaki]

Lmfao the Collingwood conspiracy theory is real. Collingwood and eddie also made greene deliberately attempt to gouge Neales eyes.

 

[GROTTO]

GWS should just focus on this week. Dragging this on any longer will be a detriment to the team for Saturday. (mind you not having Greene is too)

I think the big issue here is that Greene is a bona fide match winner, I think they will want to do everything to get him off.

Unfortunately I agree with you I think it will be a detriment to the team and their preparations.

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

Bit of a joke that more than half of the ex-players on the tribunal were Collingwood players

Paul Williams doesn't like Collingwood.

GWS are stiff and they have a big chance getting him off on appeal. Toby Greene is not unlucky, he is an absolute moron who puts his team through this crap. I don't think it's one week worthy, but geez Greene deserves the week given his absurd behaviour.

I guess the question would be, what if he got off and he did it again this week against Grundy?

 

[Colonial]

Nah. Greene is the only player at the moment who deliberately attempts to eye gouge.

No conclusive video evidence and the victim says didn't happen.

Ex pies ban star player from playing the Pies in final....

see it is perfectly clear how they operate.
like when your down 9 frees at three qtr time break and suddenly you get even ups frees that count for nothing.
