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?

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
