Live Event Toby Greene fronts the tribunal - Suspension appeal

[Mick F]

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

Ever wonder why none of your sisters friends have tried to explain quantum mechanics to you???

 

[JoeHawk]

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

That’s crap. He brought this upon himself. Copped a big fine last week then goes out and does almost exactly the same. The tribunal had little choice than to uphold it.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

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.

I don't believe that, but something stinks here. No neutral panel could come away with that decision, it is devoid of logic.

 

[davemc_lions]

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

and you know they got him off last week as they did not want to play the Lions in the prelim.
And the AFL want a tigers/pies GF
and what else can we throw in..

 

[Mick F]

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

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

All your ignorant mouthing off has come to zilch. Slandering officials is not going to change anything.

You have absolutely no clue...

The dream AFL GF is GWS/Gold Coast Vs [Enter Big Club Here - Collingwood/Richmond/Geelong/West Coast/Adelaide)

The reason he has been suspended is not because he is Toby Greene, is not because he is GWS, or some conspiracy about Collingwood and Richmond in a GF... It's all about public pressure. Within 5 phone calls to SEN I heard whilst driving, 3 of them were women complaining about Toby and what he did/does is bad for kids watching. That's what it's all about. If he plays... it's public uproar, because the public don't like him and know he is dirty. It's lynch mob mentality... and the AFL is bending to that PR disaster that is Toby Greene. There is nothing more to it.

 

[Adz]

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

Neale will likely be fined for giving incorrect or misleading evidence.

 

[Pacman82]

Bit of a joke really.. There was more evidence of contact to the eye when he touched up Bontempelli

 

[davemc_lions]

I think most of us can agree even if he did not get a eye.
Stupid to do it two weeks in a row.
Public pressure as said above from Mums I do not want my kids to play AFL will get him

 

[Tig017]

LOL

It’s not crap, Ablett earlier in the year did it 3 weeks in a row, nothing. No way Martin or Pendlebury would of been suspended. It’s just the way it is. Been that way for years. Just not funny anymore.
The witnesses said there was no eye contact, what’s the point of them if you’re not believing them.
It’s just ridiculous now.

 

[adammania9]

Hope he likes cutting oranges

 

[Adz]

Riewoldt supporting the suspension an 360.

 

[HairyO]

Because he almost sort of did something ?

In a year where pinching gets a 1 week penalty too.

 

[Plugger35]

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

You could've fooled me, it has always been a lot harder to get suspended for a final than a regular season game, just look at Barry Hall back in 2005.

I don't think it was any coincidence that Stephenson's ban for gambling finished just before this year's finals either.

Neale evidence wasn’t given much credibility or thought.

 

[Stax on the mill]

The tears from all the beta-males wanting him banned are gonna be so delicious when he gets off.

Yeah, ok.

 

[Neese]

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

Nope

 

[DavyRed]

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

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

But the video evidence highlighted on AFL360 (boy, didn’t Whateley sink the boot in!) does show Greene briefly dragging his fingers over Neale’s eyes. Now, whether that contact was forceful, significant, insignificant, accidental or whatever, there was contact.

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

The most bizarre hearing I have ever read! Good evidence from the grub & inconclusive from the the prosecution....
The grub should of been rubbed out last week when they had much stronger case in my opinion. This was the AFL's way to rectify their mistake.

 

[Credit2thaB0is]

Their reason is to look like they’re doing something to “clean up the game” lol

You have absolutely no clue...

I called it from the beginning. These women you mention probably have bad consciences and are unloading it on Greene for a dopamine hit. He’s a scapegoat pure and simple.

That just makes them look even more ridiculous than they already are.

Come on man, told hold of yourself.

And Stevie Bake’s ban ended just in time to play in the 2010 grand final.
