Toby Greene

[Snarls Barkley]

Umpires really have no input in MRP anymore so regardless of what was said and the initial report it is unlikely to have any impact on the suspension. This was shown last week when Greene got off with the headbutt despite the umpire being two metres away.

MRP focus on two things, video evidence and doctors reports. Media influence will play a much bigger role than what the umpire said.

3 down to 2 for mine, probably should have missed the game after last week anyway, 2 to 1 is probably more apt but his rep kills him.

I want to the the umps apologise for the free against Mumford when Libba was knocked out, if that's illegal they need to play in ballet slippers

 

[Danny88]

Why so aggressive? Rather really odd behaviour. Anyways.

I was showing point of contact, where it clearly shows the point of contact was mainly with the ball and not the head.

If anything the Bulldog player bending his neck after the taking the mark exacerbates the contact. The umpires comments were damning as if he was being targeted even before the game.

Fair play
I misinterpreted your intent

Play on

I'm a long way from an MRP expert, but I've thrown a few punches in my life, not once I have I closed my eyes whilst throwing a hook

Or not looked at where my fist arm was going...

I have seen it and it doesn't look like that big a deal to me. It's not a serioys premediated punch, is an infraction. Fine or a week is my guess.

Expect he'll get two weeks. Prior form counts and Toby's been on the edge a few times, the MRP will want to send him a message that may work out for us in the long run.
He's an annoyingly pesky smart alec of a player, he's OUR smart alec.

Spot on it seems

Not really unfair though. We take it on the chin and hooe the other guys can step up I guess

Surely was only his reputation? If Sloane got off last year when he drew blood.

Actually I think Sloane got a few weeks if you mean the whack on Ebert in the showdown

 

[Orange Agent]

Zac Dawson got the same penalty for spreading Jezza's nose across his face with his elbow, nowhere near the ball.
Jordan Lewis breaks a kids jaw, nowhere near the ball, again same penalty, got 3 weeks for poor record but was assesed exactly the same.

Quoted from the MRP statement,

The player has no applicable record which impacts the penalty

yet the AFL site has this as a headline, "Toby cops two games, serial offender banned."

WTF?

 

[Andre the Giant]

When he first did it I thought he would get 3-4 weeks.

When I saw the comparisons I thought 1-2 weeks.

All things considered 2 weeks I think is ok. He needs a punishment and time away to reset and feel some pain.

He is close to my favourite player and clearly our most valuable this year but he does need a wake up call or he will miss a gf or crucial game.

We need to take our medicine on this and move on.

 

[Determinant]

It was reckless at best and he needs to learn better, 3 down to 2 was what I expected, and I thought he should have gone last week..
I love Toby, but rather he gets this smack around the ears now than in R23

 

[_GT_]

But, will he learn and adapt while still playing his natural game?

Club itching to challenge the classification, I reckon they will fold their hand.

 

[Gigantic]

Crazy how this hit got 2 when Paddy Ryder only got 1 for his one a few weeks ago, which was off the ball and a lot more malicious

I won't blame the club if they want to challenge but he probably deserves the 2.

I was thinking this too. Hopefully learns a valuable lesson.

Plus rest him up for saints and pies and bring him back firing for richmond and eagles

Gerard Healy said something really stupid on the couch last night. (I know, I know). But it was along the lines of "what do you do with a player like Toby who's always getting suspended"

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but he copped a week in 2012 which ruled him ineligible for the rising star- and this one.

Been a few fines along the way, but am I missing any other actual MRP imposed suspensions?

Twice in 6 years is hardly "always"

Pre-judged and perception.

 

[dlanod]

Well there was that team suspension...

You're right re suspensions but I think he was getting at the fact Toby has been cited quite a lot and dodged bullets.

Without thinking too hard I can remember the spitting, head butt and a couple of high shots with insufficient force.

He has had to play an enforcer role earlier for us as our team has always been young and was pushed around for the first 3 or 4 years. It's also a bit his personality.

I love the fact he's aggressive and doesn't bow down to anyone it's just recently it's got a bit out of control.

It's a shame as his game has gone to another level and he is now genuinely elite.

He does not need to lose his competitiveness, just needs to tone down the overt stuff that gets him into trouble and beat them with his talent/hard work.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

That's why I said MRP. The club imposed thing was unrelated to his football.

Still doesn't get close to "always"

I disagree. He is good because he is hard and competitive and physical. It's not that he is good and is choosing these things but rather he is good because he does. If we want to accept him as an elite player I think we need to accept that he will cross the line as well
