Toby Greene makes contact with umpire - Update: Suspension Increased to 6 weeks on Appeal

[HTPunter]

2 weeks. Demonstrative and the AFL will argue intimidation. Can't be doing that. No Grey area.

 

[Jeremias]

2 week minimum.

Won't be helped by the media either. Whately to be all over this first thing on Monday morning seeing as though the Giants play his beloved Cats next week.

 

[Geoff Dickson]

So what is Toby's defence?

If you walk towards an umpire, give them a spray, and make contact....what can you argue?

Will the AFL back up its words (i.e., you cannot make contact with umpires) with a commensurate suspension?

His penalty has to be measured in weeks and not in dollars.

 

[PP34]

Seen far less incidents cop a week.

Deliberate and stupid as they come. Should cop 3-4 weeks if the AFL is fair dinkum.

Absolute farce if he gets off. Would send a terrible message for umpiring at all levels.

 

[Furn2]

Just saw this, wtf was he thinking. You can't let that go.

 

[Wetdog]

I actually really like Toby now but he's going to get a week for nudging the umpire, for sure.

Should get suspended. You can’t touch the umpires. Just ask Greg Williams. He got 9 weeks.

2 week minimum.

deserves it though.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

What the hell was he thinking?

Absolute gun, love watching him play, but that's the rest of the season. It wasn't a nudge as some are describing it, it was aggressive and it was deliberate.

5 or 6 weeks, minimum. I would be absolutely staggered if it was only one or 2 or a fine, you can't do that.

100% agree.

Disgraceful effort from the umpires. Not satisfied with last night's effort to get Geelong over the line they now target GWS' best player.

 

[matthew_s]

I'm sick of it tbh. So good to watch as a player, but this type of behaviour over and over again is not tolerable. Not every show of 'character' is good, and this is an example of that in my opinion

just described how most of us feel about tom lynch

 

[mxett]

Love Toby as a player, but as a person he comes off as a flog. Deserves at least 3 weeks suspension for that brain fart

 

[Dazzler9]

Gorrrrrrn

 

[Jeremias]

deserves it though.

Absolutely.

 

[caveman72]

After last night's effort trying to get Geelong over the line the umpires have bounced back today by getting Greene suspended. Should be no suspension.

What has Geelong got to do with what Toby did?

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Weeks.

 

[Colonial]

Should get a week but Toby tax gets him six

You guys were rather silent about Dangers elbow last night.

 

[My Third Nipple]

He’ll get off. Even up for his last suspension.

 

[Shane Heard]

No excuse for a deliberate, front on shoulder bump to a field umpire.

Absolutely disgraceful.

2 weeks minimum.
I hope the idiot gets 4.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

I like Toby and reckon he cops it raw from the umpires but that was dumb as *. Easily 2 weeks or more.

 

[Messenger]

Gone. Could have stepped around him and didn’t.

 

[Belnakor]

Nothing in it. 1500 bucks.
David king needs to read the ******* rule book. There was really less in that than neales one.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Truly great player but if there is a bigger dickhead in the AFL I'll go he.

What was he thinking ????

 

[outabounds]

Massive fan of Toby but if he doesn't get 5-6 weeks for that, the AFL are not serious.
