I've written before on Demonland one of Toby's mates got in a fight at a nightclub and Toby was on crutches, hobbled his way into it and started smashing the other bloke with his crutches.

He couldn't even walk but he wasn't going to miss out on a fight.

He's a grub of a human. If he didn't get to be a professional footballer he would be in and out of jail on assault charges

    Natural reaction, Binman (humorous, I suspect 😉) Would in seriousness have been mine, too, before 9/25.

    Now I hope we don't!😁

    Articles in the media about Greene's reputation being tainted by suspensions.  what a joke, he is a gun footballer.

    Matthews and Dermie are in the media and regarded as legends despite being thugs on the field

    Got off lightly again  if you ask me.

    There should be a rider that if he is reported again it's for the season

    Should have got 10 weeks! Needs anger management counselling, what a fool, and an arrogant one at that!

    I don't understand where you are coming from. The 'What about' argument is sophistry and totally irrelevant. It's like saying that a repeat murderer or child molester should not have their reputation tarnished because they could cook a great lasagna.

    It was 6 - 10 weeks every day of the week. Reckon he got off as lightly as he was ever going to.

    my argument is that players that have been suspended many times for doing much worse then Greene have not had their reputation tarnished, in fact sometimes they are admired for it.  admittedly in the old days rough stuff was more common

    I reckon Stevic deserves a reprimand  for  his virtual "sticking up' for Greene in his post-incident interviews.

    By not "lagging" on players, the umpires  know they'll be highly rated by  them,  increasing their  chances of Finals selection  etc.

    But Stevic let down his umpiring colleagues at all levels by not renouncing Greene's behaviour .

    He shouldn't have been selected for Finals this  year.

    Victim blaming. We don't like it in the court system and we shouldn't accept it in this instance either.

    How does this work, JJC?  The players don't choose which umpires are given the Finals gig.

    The players make it well known who they think are the best umps.

    I have heard it said that the players all think Stevic and Rosebury are the best umpires.

    I'm sure this influences the AFL Umpire selectors  in their choice for the Finals. It probably should.

    Stevic seems like one of the best to me, but I feel strongly he let down all umpires by not being more critical of Toby's act.

    There's no doubt junior footballers copy what they see on TV of footy at the highest level.

    Stevic's done nothing to make umpires in lower grades safe.

    Victim blaming! He's the umpire. It's his job to make calls including putting players on report and giving evidence against them if required.

    I think there's been a misunderstanding. I agree it's Stevic's job to give evidence. What I was trying to say was that stating that Stevic's evidence was a bit weak is similar to blaming victim's of crimes for not speaking up about crimes perpetrated against them.

    I sense we're all in agreement here - that Stevic's evidence was not as "tough" as one might have expected.

     I like Toby. Really. 

    However, the footy context is clear. He has form and has had more warnings than most. And his penalties have been no better than a gentle slap on the hand. 

    So footy wise, I don’t have much sympathy. Many of his antics on the field have been reckless and dangerous. There is a real concern that left unchecked there may be a more serious incident both impacting Toby and the other person. 

    He does not require sympathy or listen to those within his bubble, but strong and sage advice from someone with his interests at heart but who will give it to him straight and unblemished.

    Irresepective of what happens today, I can't believe there is still discussion about whether Toby Greene should be captain of GWS. One of the major themes of this year's Premiership has been selflessness. There is nothing more selfish than putting yourself regularly in the position of being suspended. I would be horrified if my team chose an habitual offender to be captain. 

    GWS have a terrible culture. Selfish players playing for money they mostly don’t deserve. There is no team there is only individuals. Couple that with a horribly uninspiring coach and no history or supporter passion and you get a club full to the brim with talent that goes nowhere. 
    Clubs would kill for their list.

    Was talking footyt with a few blokes yesterday, one said that he read during the week that if Greene gets two more weeks suspension at any time during his career he’s gone for good. The rest of us questioned it.
     

    Is 22 weeks total suspension then deregistration still a thing?

    Does this just apply to all leagues out side of the AFL?

    Or have we just missed the mark completely?

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
