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?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
