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.

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

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
