I get he has to advocate for his client, but this just rings at out of touch with the community's pulse on this. I'd be worried about riling the tribunal with this kind or argument. "The message has already rung clear ... in the community."  Rubbish. 

Handing down merely a fine will ring a bell in the community that the sanctity of umpires has been diluted. That is untenable. The tribunal must be firm in its verdict here.

    So adjusting for different pay scales how much should amateurs be paid to belt an umpire? 🤦‍♂️

    As I've written before, Greene has been cited 21 times, fined $29, 000 in total. For a highly paid player like him that's peanuts. And it certainly doesn't deter him. Fines in such a circumstance are giving him the Greene light to add to his status as a repeat offender.

    So he's been reprimanded 21 times and we are supposed to believe he is now remorseful, coincidentally when the stakes are high for him/GWS?

    Spare me.

    I'd like him to get a good whack for this, 3-4 weeks minimum and then I'd like them to say this is your 22nd offence mate, we are putting a VERY big suspended sentence on top. 10 weeks extra would be about right. You can be one of the best players in the game, but you can also start playing by our rules or start suffering the consequences.

    I think the bugger should be made play for North Melbourne for the next three years as well..

    Ihle says a fine should suffice given “the message has already rung clear as a bell in the community…”

    Clearly it hasn’t coz here we are.

    Can't believe he pleaded not guilty. Throw the book at him. 6+ weeks.

    That's exactly what I thought. 

    Stupid beyond words given he can't deny contact. 

    Will deservedly add 2 weeks to his penalty, impacting the start of their 2022 season.

    What are they thinking?

    I completely agree.
    I'm sure if he was suspended instead of fined on some of those 21 occasions he would have changed his on field actions.

    He is a perpetual pest who is 28 years old and should absolutely know better by now, but he thinks he can get away with it and that's the AFL's fault.

    They found that his actions were 'disrespectful, demonstrative and aggressive'. The only part that he was not found guilty of was 'forceful' contact.

    If he was found to make contact with an umpire that was aggressive then it's very unlikely that he's going to come out of this well.

    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.

    Anyone else think this is disrespectful to the Tribunal.  Like he has assumed he will get off with a fine.  They fly on Chartered flights, surely they could hold the plane for another 30 minutes.

    One would hope that is poor reporting and he asked to 'take leave of proceedings' rather than just up and go.

    GWS and Greene have no respect for a competition that is keeping their soulless club afloat.

    Seemingly so.  But it seems reasonable for Greene to go to WA even if he's doomed for suspension.  He is their 'spiritual leader'.

    Sam Edmund has tweeted that Greene has been "exccused from the hearing". I see nothing wrong with that. There's nothing further he needs to do and it's not like he's going to be taken into custody when the sentence is delivered.

    The quote was from the AFL website and it seems like it was poor reporting.

    Poor reporting aside.  They could hold the plane for 30 minutes and be there when sentenced.  imv it would be the smart and brave thing to do.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
