Meanwhile...

Toby Green had a player in an arm lock by the throat and was using that lock to drag and twist the player around after play had clearly stopped.

So for me the real story here is the verification that the 'Toby Greene good guy transformation' is a full whitewash.

 

Spot on.

Toby whilst being an amazing footballer is a thug. I don't buy this whitewashing of him for a second.

    3000 dollars isn't much in the scheme of things.

    I get that suspension in the finals is a double whammy but eye gouging is a serious thing.

    Hard to determine if intentional but nonetheless he was found guilty.

    Greene copped a week for the same thing a while ago.

    Didn't think there was too much in it and while I'd normally defend Toby here, he did the same action two weeks in a row and was suspended after the second. The fine seems sensible.

    Well done GWS a joke of a suspension. 

    I would guess that the grounds of Appeal are:

    first, that the finding was against the weight of the evidence,

    second, that the Tribunal misdirected itself, in deciding that if force was not negligible, it must be forceful, without any guidance as to what constituted either category,

    third, that the whole Tribunal system as currently constituted and the MRO, are inconsistent in their findings and at worst are a complete joke.

    The third ground was probably the most legalistic.

    Hope Toby gets off and gets his chance to play in his first AFL final. And has a great game. Although I want Saints to win.

    Yes, i hope he gets off too. Victim of anti MFC tribunal bias even if he is now with GWS.

    Alas GWS are dangerous. StKilda are not. Hope Saints win though its unlikely.

    How confident are you that the 'you're all a bunch of nincompoops' approach will prove effective?

    It would be hard to argue against.

    They will take it as a pat on the back.

    Seems ridiculous they would have the Tribunal hearing this week and not last week.

    Look at your 2nd word and then see how beautifully it fits with nearly everything the AFL does.

    Apparently the AFL couldn't organise anyone to attend the hearing so it got pushed out to this week.

    Imagine this level of contempt being shown to a big name player from a big club!!!

    What time would the hearing suit you best, MrCripps?  You lawyers probably have a big function to attend.

    The Giants argue the Tribunal's decision to deem high contact 'forceful' was so unreasonable that no Tribunal acting reasonably could have come to that decision having regard to the evidence before it.

    If they brought in the dissent rule for tribunal hearing GWS would be in a lot of trouble about now. The only thing they have not said is "your all a bunch of [censored]" but there's still time.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
