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?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
