Greene's One Week - Mabo, the Vibe, Justice

[MagpieJoel]

Hahahahahaha. Hahahaha. Hahahahahaha. Hahaha.

 

[barrackers]

One of their best last time we played them, so I’d be bloody stoked if this doesn’t get overturned.

 

[DinoSoar]

Well, I guess it was a full moon last night and the MRO might be still feeling the after effects. Let’s see what the MRP does with the inevitable appeal.

 

[jmac70]

Gee I hope this is true!

 

[danielnajdek]

Should just get a week for being a dumb arse.

 

[AgroMagro]

Something wrong with a person who goes for the face/eyes when the opposition player is pinned and can’t fight back.

Bloke needs help.

 

[ExcitementMachine]

Not sure how they can win the appeal though. It's back to back repeat almost identical offense, first one he pleads guilty... second one he chalenges
The AFL is unpredictable but still...
Plus if he loses the appeal could he be risking missing the GF too if they were to make it?

 

[danielnajdek]

Don't worry guys he'll get off. Only Collingwood/Geelong players get suspended during finals.

 

[Phil Inn]

Its all over the twittersphere from all the Journos. AFL are probably still trying to write a story that paints him in a good light for when they let him off on appeal

Im sure it was just a "lil mistake"

 

[jathanas]

Awful decision. Should not be suspended for that.

That incident standalone would incur a fine, but he was fined for the same thing last week Boxy. He thumbs his nose at the AFL, enough is enough with him. The way he goes about it is wrong.

 

[ThePhantom777]

I don't understand the "player's code" of not giving evidence. If someone eye gouges you, they should pay for it. Greene is a serial offender, are they going to wait until he blinds someone?

Absolutely. He reached for the face and Neale was on the ground clutching at his eye afterwards.

 

[Vicky Park]

Does this mean we give Maynard another week off?

 

[neilk]

Maynard will be heartbroken.

 

[kallangur pie]

These days facial massages are a definite no no and he has a history of it,if he beats this charge he virtually has a green light to what likes,it matters not that he is a superb player he like anybody else should not be touching someones face.
I don,t know if there is much malice in the incident but you could blind someone possibly,I think after last,s weeks incident that he is foolish enough to attempt much the same treatment to another player means that he should go this time.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Prospect of a Collingwood v Richmond GF is a pretty big carrot for the AFL.

GWS winning the lot is the whole vegetable patch for Gil and Associates.

Bruzzy will be sad the AFL took away his toy!

I think that’s not in play getting an extra week for failed plea.

I like the way you’re taking the p...

If he gets off this time he will get one hell of a reception in front of 95,000 Collingwood supporters.

 

[Mame]

I'd hate to disagree but Coll v Rich will break records.

Not suggesting Greene doesn't deserve a week because he does.

We should be the better man and not boo. Makes a mockery of Bucks comments post Anzac Day.

GWS v Tigers would rate higher in the northern states.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

He'll either get off or he wont. Out of our hands and you never know what happens at the tribunal. I'll try to not get emotional or excited over it and assume the worst...that he will get off.

It will also be an interesting exercise to test whether a fine means a fine, or whether a fine means a warning.

By that I mean if its the same offence as last week can he argue "I got a fine last week, be consistent and give me another". And can the tribunal argue, "you got a fine last week, you didnt listen to the reprimand, this time its a week"

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Might be at that.

Still would assume that for the AFL success in western Sydney is their nirvana. They will believe that GWS winning the lot will help them make inroads into that area and market.

It’s a bit delusional as the area will care for 5 minutes and move on to the next sound bite.

Just my take.
