Play Nice Toby Greene

[ashep]

And it'll be thrown out.

So? Doesn't make him any less stupid for doing the same shit 2 weeks in a row.

He is about to get off. Who says he is stupid.

 

[ashep]

You can beg all you like. That's doesn't mean there's a running tally.

So you explain it given it happened and you seem to have the biggest bee in your bonnet.

It's humans making these decisions. You can't tell me the MRP aren't adding some mayo because the dolt did it again.

At great financial expense to his club whilst disrupting their prep for a prelim, and further bolstering his wrap sheet so he gets hit even harder next time.

What a genius!

Meanwhile 1 game from the GF.

Meh anyone else and it wouldn't of even been looked at.

Want outrage blame the media and social media.

I'm critcising it because the inconsistency defies obvious explanation.

That clears it up. I didn't realise.

You’re saying if anyone else made contact with someone’s face as per the media footage, it wouldn’t even be looked at?

Are you serious?

Arguably this takes the pressure off his teammates and places it all on him. Shrewd.

If both actions are similar then they should be dealt with the same way. Both sent straight to the tribunal or both penalised with a direct suspension.

But no, The MRO isn't happy that he didn't heed the 'warning' last week so they make up a new interpretation to get the outcome they want.

Not at all.

They’ve followed the tribunal guidelines ...
https://s.afl.com.au/staticfile/AFL Tenant/AFL/Files/2019-Tribunal-Guidelines.pdf

... which specifically state that eye gouging is an offense that the MRO refers straight to the tribunal (section 3.2) which is what happened last week.

What is alleged this week is “Unreasonable or unnecessary contact to the face / eye region” which the MRO treats as a classifiable offense ...

Intentional or careless? Definitely intentional.

Impact low, medium, high or severe? Low.

Is the contact to high/groin or body? High

That all equates to a 1 match suspension.

I used to defend Kane Cornes but not anymore.

His faux tough guy stance on Greene is pathetic.

I respect Kane for having such a long career. Obviously his main attribute was amazing endurance and fitness.

But now he is retired and pretending to be a tough guy, it is just embarrassing.

"Once you are out there, you are fair game" is complete rot.

Once you are "out there" you still need to play within the actual rules of the actual game.

This faux tough guy talk from a bloke who was never tough is a joke.

If someone punched his lights out off the ball, when play had stopped, I doubt he would be saying he was "fair game" because he was "out there".

Moron.

Pretty straight forward stuff right there.

Bont did it to Lids last week.
Hodge to Greene this week.

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

 

[Monument Hills]

It's almost as if the fine and slap on the wrist last week didn't actually deter Greene from continuing to 'play' in this fashion

 

[76woodenspooners]

What choice did they have?

You reckon they should have classified it to the body rather than high?

Or that it was careless rather than intentional?

They should classify it as gouging again and send him straight to the tribunal. That didn't generate the desired outcome though, so let's get around it by changing the classification. Classic AFL.

He'll argue it was unintentional and get off.

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?

Not one shred of proof provided.

Just some sour grapes from a bitter supporter base that has a grudge against TG.

You honestly think a coach would instruct any of players to do something like that, especially as the player(s) who did it ran the risk of heavy suspensions/sanctions ?

Read some crazy shit in this forum, but that takes the biscuit

Give it a break. Surely little lunch has finished by now.

Eye Region = Your nose.

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.

 

[Adz]

Fagan has a poor finals series and I’m not sure going into bat for Greene would impress his players

Lol that is a really stupid accusation

Surely you are not contemplating that may be true are you ??

[My Cotchin Rules]

The way I see it. If he got off last week with a fine when there was much more evidence including marks to Bonts face then there is no way the AFL can rub him out.
He deserved a suspension last week. This incident needs to be in isolation not on the fact that they got it wrong last week. To now suspend him this week would honestly be the biggest joke on already the AFL is.

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

Off the top of my head are small forwards who are better than Greene (IMO):

Eddie
Chad
Cyril
Walters
Stringer

Fantasia and Gresham are catching up quickly as well. As the Doggies poster before said, I'd have him top 10 but not top 2/3 or even top 5.

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