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…”

    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.

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
