you keep saying greene wasn't contesting the ball. he certainly was, up and until it was deflected and a collision was immininent. this was in a SPLIT SECOND before contact. it is disingenuous for you to insist he was a non-contestant

like i said later. a catch-20 of choices. i'm not convinced in this case that a simple putting out his arms whilst airborne with forward motion and with knees up solves the dilemma. could well be more dangerous for both players. ymmv. but the ball was deflected by boyd at the last split second whilst greene was in a marking action. at this point it couldn't be marked and a collision was inevitable. even if he continued in his marking attempt there would have been a serious collision. look, i'm no fan of greene and his record of rough play, and i'm certainly no fan of tough thuggish play, but in this situation i'm happy to view it as an (unfortunate) football act and therefore not "careless".

if he didn't turn and brace but continued the marking attempt the end result could well have been a knee into boyd's face and both players more seriously injured. if they insist he shouldn't have turned at last split second they would have to explain what he should have done and what that likely outcome would have been. it was a catch-20 of choices

not quite accurate. the ball that bounced off his shoulder was in fact deflected by boyd so wasn't on its original trajectory. greene was entitled to contest the mark and leave the ground. at the last split second it became obvious a collision was inevitable so the question is was greene allowed to protect himself? he couldn't avoid the collision. additionally was this accidental or careless in grading?

if toby hadn't turned his body, what do you think would have happened? there would certainly still have been a collision it might have been worse for boyd 2 players might have been injured as it was, boyd had minimal hurt, so does this mean toby made the right decision? this is a very, very difficult one and finally, was it accidental or careless you be the judge

lotta leaking up at the gabba last night persisting down all night

i think greene's defence would be to argue accidental vs careless can see this going mro -> tribunal -> appeals board

so, only 5 rounds in and the new "potential to cause injury" upgrading impact category, now has a novel and neat circumvention thanks to the ever ingenious and malleable mr. gleeson. only the afl could contrive such a great escape. helpful [censored] abound in many spheres.

we have taken quite a few in the aflw though, so we must have at least some scouts out there
