Play Nice Toby Greene

[compact72]

Multiple Dogs fans posting that it may have been a direct instruction from Leon Cameron to blind opposition players.

Anyone have some more info on this?

Can you show the screenshot saying this?

What was said, is that perhaps Cameron ordered to get physical with players (such as Bont and Neale, and nothing wrong with a bit of physicality). Nobody accused of him to blind players

Not sure what your problem is. The AFL have managed it to get the outcome they want - hardly a crazy theory. Of course your desire to see him suspended has nothing to do with your interest in the game this week.

So your supposition is that the senior managers are bereft of any principles or morals, but have been successful in business nevertheless. Second, all the staff are mindless sycophants that are 100% loyal, neither questioning or leaking. Hell of a conspiracy theory - wouldn’t be a One Nation voter by chance?

Honestly don’t get people giving GWS fans a hard time. What would you expect an expansion team in NSW to get? Couple of promotional billboards to put up at Warringah mall?

It’s the same AFL that’s pumped heaps of money into Melbourne, the WB, and North Melbourne. Right now the Giants are playing their fourth year of finals in a row, can’t really ask for more can you? It’s definitely not doing any harm by winning games like they did on Saturday night for their supporters and prospective supporters.

These ridiculous footy conspiracy theorists need to get a life.

My favourites are

"The head is sacrosanct"

"Not a good look for the game."

 

[demondavey]

They've classified it that way so that they can directly suspend him.

Well no it’s because it is what it is.

LLLLLLOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL OMG.

How's that KOOL AID tasting Giant Pete?!?!?!

30,000 members MY LEFT NUT. GWS average attendance is less than 20,000 for the year and you've just made the prelim

Home game attendance average: roughly 12,000. And that includes all the grounds staff, the opposition supporters (probably the majority of that figure) and the AFL "new franchise bonus" of about 6,000 imaginary supporters.

LLLOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I heard Gold Coast's membership for the year is ten million. LOL.

You don’t have to attend if you’re a member, there’s probably quite a few that pay but can’t get there.

Yes to the first bit, no to the second.

The AFL is above board and transparent in all decisions. Good one.

Greene is a total campaigner, first the kicking/studs in the face, now this shit. **** him out of the game for good. Teach the campaigner a lesson.

One of the best posts I have read on this forum.

The Western Sydney region is the fastest growing population belt in Australia and it makes sense to build a team there (it spooked Soccer officials who quickly shunted off the ill fated Gold Coast United to Parramatta to become the Wanderers)

The more successful the Giants become, the better it is for the rest of the comp (such as increasing the talent pool of juniors playing footy up there)

What Greene has done so far is nothing compared to the gutless dog act Terry Daniher did on Gavin Brown in the 1990 Grand Final. Not to mention numerous other acts of Thuggery from Sheedy's Bombers over the years.

And the solution is we don't ignore it any more. The game does not need him.

Has to get off if there's any consistency.

That's like saying he has to get off if pigs can fly

Toby Greene is a good boy and didn't do nothing!!

Waiting on your screenshot mate

 

[PenAndPaper]

Greene is a grub, but he does not deserve a week for this 'incident' on Neale.

 

[Sgt Bargearse]

Boo this campaigner out of the game

Waiting on your screenshot mate

 

[bungalow_bill]

Who's crying? I'm merely questioning the inconsistency.

What is the material difference between the incidents that explains the difference in penalty?

Perhaps the Lions medical report?

Be nice to see the screenshots of the above

Well I am not saying he doesn't need to change his ways or behaviour (which clearly he does) but he is too good and talented a player to be lost or kicked out of the game..

He is not some kind of irredeemable monster that is not capable of changing his ways, clearly he has got behavioral and lack of discipline issues, nothing that can't be fixed over time, although that is clearly dependant on Toby himself.

Maybe if he misses the Preliminary Final, it will be the big wake up call that he needs, and finally understands the consequences of his actions and how costly they are (Well one can only hope)

 

[bungalow_bill]

I’d take Greene ahead of any of the players you’ve listed. He’s THAT good.

Charlie Cameron?

Bullshit

After so many incidents on field and an assault conviction off field, I'd say that view is hopeful but not likely.

 

[Chief]

Bulls**t

So you're saying the AFL is in such a state that one player is absolutely indispensable to the league?

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Perhaps the Lions medical report?

What did it say?
