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.

I have no come back when this argument is thrown at me

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.


Lucky? Absolute blue murder.

Corruption at its finest.

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. 


Love it

 

 
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.

 

  Ahh yes, Carlton.

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
