Weitering on Toby Greene, is he in trouble?

[slashin_velvet]

Should be 2 weeks. Will be offered 1, go to the tribunal and get off. Pathetic from the AFL if he suits up next week.

He won't suit up next week....

 

[naysayer]

Thought it looked accidental.

 

[JyeDye]

He's trying to pull the guy off from behind and makes contact around his eye region for 0.1s and immediately moves away. Barely anything in this.

 

[FireKrakouer]

As biased as I am against Carlton, I doubt that this is even worth a fine.

 

[Banyo Bloods]

A choke hold generally is around the neck not the chin. I can maybe accept head lock but a WWF ref is going to come in and check the position of that arm and give the all clear it’s not a choke hold.

As for Weitering clearly just a momentary position and not an actual gouge. Even a fine would be harsh.

 

[Drought Break]

Typical Carlton grub.

1 week suspension should suffice. That should be enough to see Carlton’s season out.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Intentional, yes. Clearly.
High - obviously.
Low impact.

= 1 week.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

I don't think there's much in that, clumsy but not intentional. Zorko copped a week earlier this year, but he looked like he was going for the face.

Not intentional??

He obviously was intentionally making contact. He literally came from behind and grabbed his face! You don't get much more intentional than that.

 

[Angus Young]

If it was Toby he would be

But it's not Toby so no.

 

[HairyO]

If it was Toby he would be

But it's not Toby so no.

If the media make a fuss it will be a fine.

If no fuss there will be nothing in it.

There wont even be talk about how Greene got the cut above his other eye.

Cant have drama on Day 1 of the new GM of Football.

 

[Nikita Blue]

Unreasonable contact to the eye region. 1 week.

What a grub of a player.

You win the prize for the most idiotic comment of the day. Weitering is one of the fairest players in the game.

 

[T2B_]

Nothing in it.

Plus Jacob = good bloke
Greene = shit bloke

You can see the equation.

 

[Milux]

Can't go near the eyes like that deliberately

..... inb4 Bez getting off on technicality last year.

 

[Elixuh]

He just eye gouged someone. So probably not hey.

I’d tell you to take your blue tinted glasses off but maybe you should keep them on to protect your eyes

McGovern is lucky he is the spud brother. If it was the McGovern that can actually play Toby would’ve gone for the full Indian Deathlock.

 

[Dez!]

You could've just written 'I agree' or not posted at all and just liked the post you quoted.

Weitering could've not gouged eyes as well but here we are.

 

[ashep]

I abstain.

 

[Toump Ass]

Nothing in it but I'd like to see a couple of weeks.

 

[OnTheRocks]

That isn't a choke hold. Toby hasn't got his arm around the neck, it is on, not under, the chin

^^^This!
Can't choke them if they have their chin under the arm. Carltoon fans desperate to get the face raker off.

 

[_Mike_]

Weitering has fronted the tribunal a few times this season, could go either way (week or fine)

 

[HarryBeef]

Is the cut on his eye from the incident?

Opposite eye

Weitering has fronted the tribunal a few times this season, could go either way (week or fine)

When was this?

 

[Elixuh]

This is going to be a true nothing to see here from the afl. Won’t even get looked at. Despite toby almost being permanently blinded in one eye

 

[_Mike_]

When was this?

Key defender Jacob Weitering has been cleared of his striking charge in a major boost for Carlton ahead of Sunday's AFL match against Fremantle. Weitering was booked during the third term of Sunday's win over Hawthorn at the MCG for striking ruckman Lloyd Meek off the ball.

Not really a gouge. If you watch it in real time (rather than the super slow mo that everyone is posting), it was just a messy scramble to pull Toby off Gov.
Still don't see how he doesn't get a week, although hoping for a fine.

Wasn't a choke hold, but was a pretty strong headlock. You can see the force Toby is holding on with and highlighted by the fact that when Weitering drags Toby off, it also drags Gov with it.
Just performed a dangerous tackle, then refused to let go of a forceful headlock, while acting like the victim.
