Toby Greene boot to Luke Dahlhaus face.

[Simbatheking21]

Well Tom Hawkins gets away with this stuff every week

Jarrad Waite has done it his whole career

 

[Patron]

I thought it was deliberate and bloody disgusting tbh. The fact it was Greene and we have never seen this happen before in how many years of footy suggests it was probably deliberate. Why didn't he raise his knee like normal? Why did he extend his leg? Bloody sicko.

I was referring it was not against the rules to raise your leg when receiving the ball, sorry should of clarified better.

It's not. But in the same way as a fend off if you get them high, a legal act becomes illegal.

I've always wondered about players using a boot to fend off (copped a torn up chest and broken ribs from one a few years back, was intentional though)

 

[Big Fresh]

How about high contact

Most speckies involve high contact.

 

[wild side]

Bad record, and reckless. He should go for a week

 

[Hoops]

Too bad it wasnt a speccie

 

[aCunningPlan]

Intent mean three fifths of stuff all nowadays, he kicked him in the head and forced him off the ground with a blood rule. It will be one week up to two with a poor record.

 

[Outback Footy]

Looking at that replay it was clearly deliberate. Clearly extended his leg to increase the impact. And it sure looked like he was looking at Dahls face. No argument it was highcontact.

And with his record? Has he been suspended twice this year already? What a frickin nimrod. Clearly he's not a bright boy

I see it as intentional as well. Most players when marking do not extend their leg out. This situation should be no different.

 

[Hoops]

Not relevant. You sure didn't have a problem with Steven King kicking Jeff White in the face did you hypocrite?

Nothing in it at all.

**** off Strawman

 

[GAsnr]

WTF would you stick your foot up like that for? Totally reckless and deserves to go. Channel 7 Nuffies doing their best to downplay a scum act.

To protect himself and the space around him so he could then get rid of the ball legally without being tackled? He's allowed to do that. It's a shame he connected with Dahl, and he might go for the high contact, but he is allowed to stick his foot up there.

A speckle implies there were two people in the marking contest, this was not the case.

I agree it's a stupid thing to do and don't see how it's necessary to ever raise the leg.
Hope you recovered ok

 

[Reppie]

Took the mark.
Allowed to protect himself.
Absolutely no case to answer.

Stupidly didn't miss a game. Thanks haha

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Nothing to answer for.

Wasn't a marking contest, but I agree.

I see it similar to one a few years back where Ziebell was rubbed out for making high contact when contesting a handball and the majority of the footy world said it was the wrong call. This one looks worse for the blood though.

 

[Tex9798]

The people that say it is intentional, what video are you watching?

Clearly has eyes for the ball and extends his leg out and Dahlhaus runs into his foot.

This is nothing more than an accident.

Put your pitchforks away

Probably best not to comment when you start off with a completely wrong statement

It happens almost any time a player is sitting under a ball and an opponent is running back with the flight.
Normally ends up being around thigh height though (unless it's Jarrad Waite doing it).

 

[Dennis Trumpet]

Should have been Front on contact against dahlhaus. no eyes for the ball was never going get a spoil in. Greene had his eyes on the ball the entire time and dahlhaus is a dumb campaigner with no spatial awareness

I see it as intentional as well. Most players when marking do not extend their leg out. This situation should be no different.

It should be noted it wasn't even for a mark... have you ever seen that with a handball receive? He's just a flog

Absolutely no reason to to stick his foot out head high as he did. Totally reckless. Channel 7 clowns doing their best to downplay a scum act.

 

[rippersnipper]

Greene had his eyes on the ball the whole time and he is entitled to protect his space. Daniher and waite do that all the time and nothing gets said about it, but unfortunately greene copped dahlhaus in the face. Definitely a freekick but nothing more. Dahlhaus ran into his foot.

Bontempelli just did it before his last shot on goal fwiw
