' one-match ban for swotting the hand of umpire Dean Margetts in 2018 and says the jury should be informed "by the previous cases that have come before you". He argues for a "severe financial penalty" and not a suspension. He says a fine of between $20,000 to $25,000 is appropriate.

[Geoff Dickson]

A request for a fine ought to have been preceded by a not guilty plea.

 

[Land of the Giants]

They'll make sure he can't play in the GF if we get that far.

Enough of a statement that you rub a teams best player out for big finals, don't know what the extra three weeks would achieve over and above that

To torpedo our 2022 season before it’s begun.

Toby has eight weeks of suspension so far in his career. Does he get de-registered at 16 weeks?

You strike me as the kind of bloke that doesn't have many friends


You are a bit of a loner aren't you champion?

's camp is arguing for a fine in the region of $20-25,000. We'll have an outcome soon.

GREENE DEPARTS TRIBUNAL
12.56pm: Toby Greene has been forced to leave the AFL Tribunal, as Greater Western Sydney has a flight to catch to Western Australia for Friday night's semi-final against Geelong. The Tribunal has been informed that he will phone in on his way to the airport.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

The NRL has just handed out a 6 week suspension to L Mitchell for collapsing the skull of an opponent with a pre-meditated shoulder charge to the eye-socket.

And the AFL wants a minimum of 6 weeks for Toby.

The question is simple...does the National Player and Official Deregistration Policy apply to the AFL?

Tenner a pop boy, the answer is no and if you took a minute to look you’d know that

Mate i think thats probably enough internet for you today

Probably best you go have a lie down

 

[Geoff Dickson]

Thanks for clarifying.

 

[bossman111]

Three matches

 

[Callums_Guns]

 

[bossman111]

Fair enough, let's win it without him

 

[Land of the Giants]

View attachment 1222389

Utterly predictable.

 

[Geoff Dickson]

So the only question left remaining is whether the AFL or GWS will appeal.

 

[BarryAglett]

Fair enough, let's win it without him

Yep.

 

[bossman111]

Do we appeal?

The only thing I would take issue with is that it was deemed "aggressive", that's clearly the opposite of the testimony of the umpire.

Might get that from 3 to 2 but not sure it's worth the energy

 

[Giant Strides]

VFL hierarchy have got their wish.

Now let's stick it right up them.

 

[Pres]

VFL hierarchy have got their wish.

The majority of jurors on this case were non Victorian

 

[Section226]

IMO, 3 weeks is fair based in the front-on and side-on vision.

What is unfair is that Neale and Hawkins were not given harsher penalties for their umpire contact.

 

[Orange crush]

No potential GF For Toby .... that’s all they wanted

 

[Simmofreo]

Well there you go. Have probably cost us a chance at a flag Toby. Without Tom green
