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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
