Non-Richmond games 2024

[tdy]

We have played the weagles into form, they're killing Freo

[Francois Jackson]

Harley Reid dominating. I think the eagles have absolutely nailed that draft.

as dio i think has said we are one draft too late

Done deliberately
Yze master stroke

Hopefully freo ends up falling in a pit the remainder of the year

Let's see what Greene gets today

I don't care either way as the afl are a bunch of clowns , though if baker copped one then he surely goes for one.

Thats as black and white as you will ever see.

Two wrongs don’t make a right
Baker shouldn’t have gone

And Greene DEFINITELY shouldn’t .. he jumped to mark the ball and the reckless (fantastic in a past era) courage of the Carlton player caused the contact

Greene tried to protect himself and his opponent and braced mid air and still made contact with the footy

What is he meant to do?

Football is stuffed if he gets suspended

100% agree but i'm just biased for our club.

I like greene. Hope he gets off but if you believe even 5% of what these corrupt pos say then he should go as well.

He probably will go

And it’s a disaster for the game if he does

Been instances of blokes frightened to jump for the footy out of fear of suspension etc , and it will only get worse

The more this happens , the more the game will become the aerial ping pong that the imbeciles in NSW call it

May as well just go to touch footy and be done with it I guess

[WilliamPowell]

Toby will go, not saying it is right

But based solely on how they are adjudicating these now he will go

Hopefully he will get treated the same way as others have in 2024 and not given a harsher penalty because of who he is ie "the Toby tax"

I wonder what the AFL will do the day a player doesn't brace for contact to protect himself and to a lesser extent his opponent and there are arms, elbow and head clashes going everywhere and both players get knocked out? Who will they blame?

The simple fact is you can’t attack the footy anymore

Greene copped a week. The Giants may challenge it though.

No surprise

No point in appealing he won't get off. With his record the "good bloke" defence is useless

this is why so many people cant stand the way the game is.

If you're going to give blokes weeks then be consistent. As they aren't consistent the whole thing is fos and doesn't wash with me. Every one of these should have been let off.

Toby Greene's appeal tonight failed.

----------------------------------

TRIBUNAL'S FULL REASONS FOR GREENE DECISION

The charge is pressed on two alternative bases. The rough conduct (high bumps) provision and the general rough conduct provision.

Taking the high bumps basis first.

The first question is whether in the bumping of Boyd, Greene caused contact that is at least low impact with Boyd’s head or neck.

This question is expressly conceded by Greene. He admits this was a bump. He admits that in the bumping of Boyd he caused contact that is at least low impact to be made to Boyd’s head or neck.

The next question is whether Greene was contesting the ball, and whether it was not unreasonable to contest the ball in that way.

I have given an instruction to the panel to the effect that, if a player has ceased to attempt to mark prior to impact, and is bracing for impact in circumstances such as this, that player is not contesting the ball.

That only leaves the question of whether Greene had ceased to attempt to mark prior to impact and was instead bracing for impact.

The evidence is that this is what he was doing.

It is also a finding that we could and do make upon closely viewing the video footage.

Prior to impact, Greene had abandoned his attempt to mark the ball and turned his body to brace for impact.

It follows that the exception to the rough conduct (high bumps) provision does not apply and there is no cause to consider whether his conduct was reasonable.

It follows that the charge of rough conduct is made out under the high bumps provision, noting again that Greene admitted this was such a high bump.

There is no need to consider the general rough conduct provision, the charge is upheld.
