Local league in Sunraysia has an Umpire drought because of the abuse they cop so its a fair callThere wouldn't be a game without umpires. The ones I know don't cheat but still cop plenty of abuse and take it on the chin. If you start allowing players to deliberately nudge umpires without penalty, we will be lucky to have any umpires who want to do it.
Did you play the whole footage? They had a water under the bridge moment after the incident.It's going to be more than 1-2 weeks.
This wasn't inadvertent or innocent, he aggressively walked towards an umpire and intentionally bumped through him. I think 5 weeks is more likely.
I dislike Stevic as much as the next guy but there is absolutely no room for that in the sport.
Jeez, reading through the thread I thought Toby smashed into the Ump during play or something. Nothing in it at all, a fine should suffice.
Some of you lot need to get a grip
But where does this ‘Toby tax’ come from? Things like today. That’s why he’s not getting a lot of sympathy.Should get a week but Toby tax gets him six
You guys were rather silent about Dangers elbow last night.
Could he get away with clumsy? People bump into each other all the time?Hard to see how he explains why he arrogantly bumped into the ump as clearly he was frustrated with the ump and it was like he decided to have a stand off with Stevic… I’m the player and you will move
Bang on, let this stuff go and you'll have no community umpires left...then there goes the game. Has to be a week.There wouldn't be a game without umpires.

Suspensions and fines are supposed to be a deterrent. If Toby is non-compliant with the rules more regularly than others, then it should not come as a surprise that he cops punishment harder than others for similar indiscretions. It’s actually what we find in many facets of life. Workplaces, businesses, government regulators, and courts to name a few examples tend to consider a pattern of behaviour when issuing out discipline.
It's more that the only real umpire contact charge in the last few years is the Hawkins incident (and the crackdown following, Willie Rioli bum tap on an ump got looked at...), and he got a week for it. This is the contact Hawkins made. Hard to argue that Green's contact was more minor this...
I believe they ended up getting rid of that rule.
Yea, I agree with you here but that Hawkins decision was one of the biggest joke of the year. It shouldn't have been more than a fine.
But Cats favouritismYea, I agree with you here but that Hawkins decision was one of the biggest joke of the year. It shouldn't have been more than a fine.
Look I agree that Dangerfield gets off for things that Toby wouldn’t, but I found that having a history means something when an incident is assessed.Great so call it down the middle.
All for him rightly getting a week.
But when danger doesn’t even get mentioned for doing something just as bad as what Tobes originally got 2 weeks for it shows the league is full of sh*t allot of the time.
