That’s fine but you are ignoring one fact, did he actually bump him or touch his hand. The video does not show a bump and Stevic does not react like a player has just bumped him. He would have reported him on the spot. Guilt is still important these days. 

Only when it when it suits your point of view Mr. Leg.

    Stevic should have gotten out of the way and reported Greene on the spot? AFL spin-machine at its best. Greene initiated the contact, he was clearly annoyed at something and went straight for Stevic. Victim blaming at its best.

    "Watch Toby Greene do something stupid and get reported"

    Sometimes I get lucky😆

    Well I think I would rather we play GWS and without Toby that is less likely. They fade in games and I think we have their measure. The Cats worry me. I suppose my ideal is he gets 2 weeks and they beat the Cats.

    But it does, clearly, from both angles (despite the behind angle being less useful than the side angle)

    That vision/angle is worse for Toby than the other 2 I saw.

    I am not a lip reader, but Stevic appears to say “hey”, which is a reaction to being bumped/touched.

    A lot of umpires i know wouldn't report the player on the spot because of pure intimidation reasons. 

    Toby plays (and lives) on the edge and if he's happy to basically walk through an umpire, who knows what he'd do. The umpire might have felt safer to wait till after the game.

    Hes my favourite non dees player to watch but I'm expecting at least 6 weeks.  A message must be sent.

    Id be horrified seeing this happen in the bush somewhere where the umpires get minimal support. No wonder there's a shortfall everywhere. They must be supported

    It does look much worse, then the above vision.

    Love to know what he said to the ump??

    It's very relevant to the Demons.

    GWS will be playing us in a fortnight, and he's vital in their chances against us.

    He does well against us.

    He should get  at LEAST 2 weeks.

    What Stevic says is irrelevant.  He might try to ingratiate himself with a star player by saying there was nothing in it.

    As posters have pointed out, the crucial point is the possible influence on young players if this isn't taken seriously.

    One factor is, however, that the AFL pretty well runs GWS, and wants it to thrive.

    That’s a bit premature wouldn’t you say?

    greene definitely bumped him

    to make matters worse he doesn't even apologise or claim it was accidental, just keeps walking and mouthing off

    if it was accidental you'd expect some display of contrition

    At this point anything that happens with any of the other remaining finalists can have the potential to affect us, be it directly or indirectly.

    Wouldn't expect anything of the sort from Toby. The bloke is a grub.

    For some reason people seem to continually forgive and explain away his poor behaviour 

    Most recently questionable contact to eyes of 2 players in 2 successive weeks

    Historically, fined for assault in a pub brawl.

    Lost cause

    II'm  pretty impressed by GWS, and expect them to beat Geelong.

    GWS were overrun in the last quarter and, thanks to the Swans poor conversion , could have lost by 4 goals.

    Yes, poor kicking is poor football. Couldn't care less who wins their match. It's Port who are our major threat.

    It should be an automatic 2 game suspension even if the contact was incidental and more if the umpire felt threatened or intimidated by the conduct. There’s a responsibility to the game and to all who play it at whatever level.

    Has anybody seen Mumford's knee into an opposition player, while he was on the ground?

    I saw it and right in front of the umpire who did nothing.

    He's being sent to the tribunal. assessed as intentional umpire contact. He won't play next week

    It's just gone up a notch. Obviously disrespectful but now also intentional (what a surprise). Greene should get 6-8 weeks on all the available evidence.

    If the lily-livered AFL hierarchy ever wanted to set a precedent, now's the time. Think of all the junior umpires out there looking at this behaviour.

    This thug has got away with too much in the past.

    Time to call him to account.

    What?

    His good record won't help him in this case??

    If there was a market on Toby getting 1 week, then appealing the result and getting off (or at worst a fine) i'd be placing a lazy $100 on it

    To me it was intentional and with some force.  Not a good look.  A few Swans players were into him for this and another act Mumford did.  I wonder if the MRO will cite him also?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
