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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
