Weitering on Toby Greene, is he in trouble?

So you've gone from 'fronted the tribunal a few times' to 'one incident was reviewed by the MRO and nothing came of it'...okay...a nuance for sure.
Protecting his team mate is not an excuse and you know it - you are solely basing your argument on defending the player of your guernsey choice no matter what.
The only argument Weitering has is the time frame of the contact I.e. arguing it is incidental contact v an actual eye gouge.
Your series of comments in here are blatantly bias and completely miss the point, and you know that you would not blame a Carlton player if he were in Greenes situation.
Greene has done something that happens 10-15 times a game - player is held onto around the head after a tackle.
Weitering has done something that happens 2-3 times a year - contact with an eye outside of general play.
Oh **** me, a “forceful” headlock but Weitering just did a messy scramble?
Genuinely please - knowing full well I’ve said I’m happy if it’s a fine because it’s clearly incidental contact so I’m not just on an anti Carlton bus - PLEASE tell me you are absolutely sure you would have this view if the roles were reversed?!
You wouldn’t.

Its simple really. He should get whatever Carlton supporters would demand if Green did exactly the same thing to one of theirs. Of course they never see things that way. They expect to be treated as a superior caste.

Knowing full well that I said it's likely a week, watch the full speed replays. Watch Weitering, then watch Toby.
It's clear that Weitering is scrambling to try and drag Toby off his teammate.
It's clear that Toby isn't responding to the umpire and when Weitering tries to drag him off, he tightens his grip and refuses to let go.
The next step for Weitering was the finger up the bum. That's how you get a rabid dog to release when it isn't responding to commands.
Choking isn't a suspendable offence
Serious question...
If he intentionally made contact to the face, as you described, and as a result he inadvertently makes contact with his eye - doesn't that constitute 'intentional'?
Let me rephrase that...
Is it the act that is deemed intentional, or the result?
Like if you bump someone, and inadvertently give them whiplash - because the bump was intentional - you get done right? You don't get off because you didn't intentionally give them whiplash?
You don't need to have your finger in someone's eye for very long for it to cause serious injury.
Carlton not a Melbourne club also???

Deliberately makes contact to the face, and furthermore he eye gouges Green.
Should be an open and shut case, a few weeks off. However Blues are the new Bulldogs and it’s finals, so he’ll get off.
AFL and integrity don’t exactly go together.

Protecting his team mate is an excuse for dragging Greene away.
And it was incidental contact for a fraction of a second.
If Greene did it, then I would assume he meant it because he has form for viciously attacking incapacitated players' heads.Weitering has no form on this sort of thing.

Tobes can have a month out too fwiw.
Relooking at the vision Weiters should cop a year off. Absolute dog act and I'm surprised Toby is still alive after he ripped his eyeball out like that.
