Play Nice Toby Greene

'I'm extremely apologetic for what I did': Giants superstar cops massive fine

Greater Western Sydney forward Toby Greene is free to face Brisbane in Saturday night's semi-final

Wow.... staggered. $7,500 is pocket money for a serial offender.

A contrived outcome if ever I saw one. The action alone of pulling a players head up by the hair then slamming it back down in to the turf would have seen any other player suspended, yet the AFL recommendation was a fine. The AFL clearly want their league sponsored team in the Grand Final.

Manifestly inadequate? It's been used before....Potential to cause injury? It's been used before.......

 

[CD Xbow]

Weeks if someone from Hawthorn (and probably most other teams) did it, not to GillWS.

It's hard to see this as anything other than corrupt.

He's a little grub. If he had of been given a good clip back in primary school he may not have made being an arseh*le an art form.

The afl are so conflicted with gws they are openly biased to get Greene to play.

Just lol.

Competition is ****** from top to bottom.

Maybe he should have just put someone in a choke hold and body slammed them into a fence - that’s only $1,000 apparently.

Hair pulling for an Essendon player = $1,000

The “prosecution” didn’t even call for a suspension. He did add a few extra K on because he was guilty of being Toby Greene but I’m yet to see any footage that shows any eye gouging.

For what it’s worth - to me eye gouging should be minimum 12 weeks.

But it wasn’t eye gauging and some people just need to get over themselves and stop overreacting any time the name Toby Greene is mentioned.

I can't help but find this hilarious. Love it

 

[TheBont]

I’m speechless

Not even one game

Lol

**** the afl
Dickheads

 

[IronMike]

If it was any other player from any other team they would be gone for weeks.

Absolute farce.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Follows the Liberatore Senior school of tagging. He would be an absolute superstar if he dropped that rubbish. Doesn't need to do half the crap he does.

 

[Mazza44]

The AFL continues to just make shit up as they go. Pathetic.

 

[demondavey]

You’d have to seriously now question the legitimacy of the tribunal and what their priorities are. I mean even if he didn’t eye gouge, what about grabbing the head and shoving it into the ground? For a guy with a serious wrap sheet that’s pretty incomprehensible to receive a $7,500 fine.

Staggering.

It's such a fu...ng joke of a decision ! Talented player but such a dirty grub. The whole footy world will be on the Lions

 

[StillAtLarge]

If Sicily did this he'd be in The Hague by now. Said incident isn't as bad as everyone is making out but it deserved at least a week.
The afl has inadvertently given carte blanche for players to manipulate their opponent's face with their hand, pull their hair and throw them into the fence. The funny thing will be watching auskickers imitating all 3 actions this week.

 

[hansie]

He is an absolute a grade class 1 flog. Disgraceful he got off. #joke #afldarlings

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence... or something.

But yeah, amateur hour once again. If this was so serious, why rush it to the tribunal same day instead of giving the AFL "prosecutor" time tp prepare the case? Rushed, half-arse job.

 

[hutchy31]

Let’s set aside the eye gouging accusation, because some could argue that’s inconclusive.

What’s clear is that he was pulling someone’s hair and then using that leverage to push his head into the ground - while that player was vulnerable and couldn’t defend himself.

That it’s not worth a week is mind boggling. Don’t worry kids, during finals this weekend feel free to do the same without threat of suspension. The governing body tasked with the integrity of the game says it’s fine.

Will mean nothing when the game is officiated to a different set of rules.

 

[Libba39]

The AFL has opened a real can of worms for the remaining finals. The gloves have been removed and they have sanctioned it.

By the way I'm actually hoping the Giants make it through to play collingwood, and that Toby gets up to his old tricks. The Pies fans won't allow him to leave the stadium alive...

 

[jonnobackpocket]

He is a filthy, arrogant, grub of a human. The AFL suggests a fine, give me a spell. Anyone who honestly believes the AFL gives a f$&k about having a fair and unbiased comp is delusional. Hope he runs into the post and it wipes that smug look off his face.
