Toby Greene makes contact with umpire - Update: Suspension Increased to 6 weeks on Appeal

[Bald]

I actually really like Toby now but he's going to get a week for nudging the umpire, for sure.

Edit:

Contact with the umpire today. Not brutal, but deliberate and demonstrative. Somewhat similar to Hawkins a few years ago.

I just dont know why he does shit like that. People can think that Greene is hard done by, but stuff like the umpire nudge and also pushing that gave away that free with a hand to the throat is why he gets the negative attention.

I'm sick of it tbh. So good to watch as a player, but this type of behaviour over and over again is not tolerable. Not every show of 'character' is good, and this is an example of that in my opinion

Yeah that's what I thought too.

Only question is if he’s missing a semi final or round 1

Yup, the AFL will make an example of him. I get the impression they are also sick of his shit.

I normally defend Greene but you can't be doing that shit to an ump. A very Solid msg needs to be sent

Perfect description of it.

To be honest, it should be worth more than one week.

Also had a free reversed for a throat push.

This ******* just doesn't learn.

Said in in GameDay but final discount needs to be applied. Acknowledgment that penalities are much more severe thus needs a discount. For mental health reason and to keep a rough finals game.

Hefty fine + 1 week

 

[eddiesmith]

It was on Stevic? Deserves a reward not a suspension!!!

But how badly Stevic really didn't want to pay that last free kick to him...

 

[Ron The Bear]

On the Greg Williams scale that’s a year’s worth.

 

[BarryMorgan]

Has to be.
He’s a jet of a player, but you simply can’t do that.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Season over.

 

[Micksy]

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

It's like poetry, it rhymes.

Contact with an umpire is a little more than a week. Factor in the fact that its Toby Greene and you can safely say that's his season done no matter how far the Giants go.

This got a week after Ed was cleared and the AFL appealed it….

Deliberate and aggressive contact with an umpire. Throw the book at him. Should probably get a week for that punch to the throat too.

 

[JackFlash]

Greene should get a few for that...it was no accident, he knew what he was doing.

 

[Testekill]

Intentionally walked into the umpire while complaining about something, typically a week for that when it's difficult to explain away.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Should probably get a week for that punch to the throat too.

Probably should’ve been 50 metres, opponent had no right to charge him.

 

[1990crow]

Week suspension. Can't be anything less.

 

[Sentinel]

Probably should’ve been 50 metres, opponent had no right to charge him.

Maybe it was going to be until he whacked him in the throat, which overrides any 50m penalty.

 

[TP86]

After last night's effort trying to get Geelong over the line the umpires have bounced back today by getting Greene suspended. Should be no suspension.

 

[Infamy]

I'm surprised no one else picked up on that, I was wondering the same thing
