    It says that he and Toby have been estranged for a few years.

    Still, that pathetic behaviour simply mustn't be tolerated, hope he gets the book thrown at him. Emergency service workers have enough [censored] to deal with then have to deal with neanderthals like that.

    That explains a lot.

    Can not stand Toby Green, after kicking guys in the face with his boot, then trying to hurt guys when they are down on the ground. To me it's a dog act.

    Jeez, that's not good.   I think Mr. Greene may be in serious trouble here.

    6 months + mandatory jail time in Victoria means very little. Rarely if ever imposed.

    Worth noting Toby has been estranged from his father for years. Hardly a 'family'.

    The family's story is very sad. Michael Greene was a very good footballer who was looked at by a number of teams however he got involved with the wrong people and ended up badly involved with drugs. His father made numerous attempts to help him but to no avail. I lived not far from the Toby's Grandfather's house/business and it was sad to watch his father's struggle.

    I actually feel sorry for Toby. Having a role model like this explains a lot. Especially as the father seems to have bailed on the family. 

    No wonder he is an angry man

    The old man has some issues to say the least.

    It would explain a lot having to grow up with a "bit of work" like that in the childhood home.................!!! Pity the mum and Toby.

    How many years? You don’t need a lot of exposure to toxic personalities in the home environment for it to have a very detrimental effect.

    I’d say he was a very young child when his father left, judging by this from the article in The Age:

    “Toby's mother, Kate, released a statement to the Seven Network, saying: "Toby is estranged from his father. His father has battled mental health issues and has had nothing to do with this family for over 20 years".”

    • Demonland changed the title to Toby Greene's Dad

    So many opinions and judgments made by people who have no knowledge of the background and personal/family relationships. 

    Mick was a legendary footballer for De La Salle Old Boys. 

    Mick is a decent human being and proud dad. It’s only a few years ago just before the draft that Mick and Toby were clearing away rubbish at home.  As Toby was hanging off the roof, I jokingly quipped to Mick that he obviously had no fear of heights but that was not a requirement to be an AFL footballer.  Their relationship appeared to be a good one. Perhaps that changed but it appeared that Mick remained in contact when Toby went north. He spoke regularly about Toby and his love for the Giants footy club. 

    I got to know Mick quite well and I would best describe him as a genial and well intentioned knockabout character. He loved his son. Unfortunately, Mick liked a beer or two and that has been a major problem along the way. 

    So what transpired on Saturday is quite sad for both of them. But Mick is not a bad person and the commentary of the incident does misrepresent his qualities as a person. 

    Like many families there were relationship issues but that happens across the board. . 

    Unfortunately, Mick’s undoing  has been due to his problem with alcohol.

    I admire you being loyal but what he did on Saturday was a low dog act of a scumbag.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
