Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
MRV just announced Tip Rat Green will go straight to the Tribunal for his dirty, sneaky, sniping as revealed by camera.

Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
I’m glad. He is an absolute sniper getting Bont like that.

Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
This is the silver lining I needed from the game

Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
The footage is quite disturbing in particular the hair pulling

He is my most despised footballer of ALL TIME. EVER.

Me too. The punch to Caleb's head, the kick in the face to Dahl and now this. He needs to be put away by the tribunal, we cant have this rubbish in modern footy.

I lie awake at night thinking about how much I hate Toby Greene.

Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
If the tribunal has any b#!!3 he will be suspended for more than 1 match - preferably 3 so he missed out should the plastics go further than next week. Dirty snivelling wretch of a human being.

Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
I hate him so much that i now hate Leon Cameron, as a child one of my faves. How he can coach him to play on the “edge” and then defend him publicly (i understand he is his coach but come on!) is beyond me. I wouldn’t want to drive that Ferrari

At a minimum he should get 4 weeks but given the way the AFL have shown a level of flexibility in the past he might just get 2 weeks
Does Himmelberg get called out for the gut punch?

Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
Can’t believe the 22 blokes in red white and blue let him get away with it.

While it would be nice if we did push back it's also a bit of a catch 22 because if they got reported for retaliating some would call them out of their stupidity.
The umpires needed to control it better

Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
The tribunal should rub this grub out for the rest of the final series.
He embodies everything I hate about GWS, worst club in the league that's for sure.

He was fined $2000.
He should be cited for the punch in the head when Bont was lying on his back and having his eyes gouged and hair pulled. Himmerbum comes in and smacks him one.

I’d personally prefer our team not expect others to fight their battles for them. No doubt the umps could’ve done more, but our players should’ve.

I'm a big believer in pushing back and flying the flag but not being reckless with it. We lacked a bit of spark in that regard

This is why we need Libba

Yep, a fit and focused Libba is very good at pushing back in big games. Lets hope he has a great 2020

When we played the Lions Mitch Robinson laid a big hit on Dunks and Trengove was the only guy who flew the flag. I think a couple of our more fiesty guys were missing unfortunately however other than satiating my desire for revenge against those grubs I doubt it would've altered the result in any way.

Honestly I think if we had Libba, Daniels, Wallis, Dickson and Trengove yesterday that game would of gone differently. Libba alone is our flag-flyer and would of punched back if given the chance.

It's just part of the picture, we were outclassed first and foremost

Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
I wonder if anybody has ever shown the tribunal video evidence to justify retaliation. It would be an interesting defense that the umpires were allowing that crap to happen, so it was left in our own hands.
-
Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
I can’t work this one out. We’ve seen hair pulling is a fine, we’ve also seen intentionally throwing a player into a fence is a fine.
Surely with the cut below the eye, the scratches on the neck AND the fact greene entered the contest late and dived on bont after the ball was dead it is a suspension and not a fine.
Not reversing the free kick is the travesty in this situation. That umpire should be suspended! Was about 80 cm away from it!
-
Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
Garry Lyon on SEN this morning declared:
The hair pull/headslam combo was worth a $1000 fine;
He’d looked at the footage 8 times and wouldn’t definitively say it was an eye gouge;
Unless Marcus came out and said that Greene had his fingers in his eyes then there was no case to answer.

No surprise there hardly a paragon of virtue. Personally I've taken into account my emotional reaction to the footage and even without that, considering the type of action, the intent and the delicate area of the body he has to get weeks and I pray Marcus breaks the player's "code".

Gary Lyon is the biggest Fwit on radio/TV

Let's toss up to see who will do it to Gaddy and see what he thinks then.

He tows the company line. Of course he can only see what he needs to see. Did Tim call him out? Tim seemed to be confident it was eye gouging

Quoted on Fox Footy that the Bont had markings under his eye after the incident.

Irrelevant today I know, but I do pine for times past when Greene would have suffered severe retribution within minutes.
So it is the Tribunal's job to suspend this sniping prick for 3 weeks, the close up footage was disgusting. Himmelberg should go for a week. The umpire at the Bont/Green incident should not umpire any further finals. Can someone name him ?

Yep that was the really big problem. Getting our arses handed to us made heaps of other things look much worse.
I'm still a bit stunned at how easily we rolled over though.

Cheap, that will encourage him to do it again. AFL is only tokenistic with stampind out violent snipers especially at finals. AFL would rather keep its players who add to TV spectacle (AFL's god).

Cunnington laid 4 stomach punches in 2019, none of which warranted suspension. All this after a 'crackdown' on stomach punches was promised by the MRO at the start of the year lol.

Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
All the media fan boys are talking down the severity.
We know there is no fairness, but when you recall Redpath rubbed out against Phil Davis, which also included a medical report that Davis had somehow been stunned (could only have been for diving too hard at the ground), how can they not suspend the germ.
We need a medical report
"Bontempelli came off complaining of the pain in his eye and he played out the game with restricted vision. He was only allowed back on the ground as it was determined that no further damage could be done unless he was gouged again."
-
Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
What a joke! AFL aids and abets a toe rags thuggery. I am really angry about this.
-
Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
OK then - the AFL have in effect allowed all & sundry to scratch, gouge and generally be a thug.
What a dreadful advertisement for our game.
If I had a young child I'd be seriously considering encouraging other sports.
What a joke.
I hope Gordon & other respected Club & Media officials speak out for our club and the general community on this woeful decision by the AFL.
When I think about the multiple weeks suspension Redpath suffered for something much, much less worse I am even more livid.

And a repeat offender !

Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
No other contact code would have allowed this to stand. Think back to 1998 when Liberatore clawed Lawrence and the uproar and backlash. Greene should have gotten weeks, not a fine that works out to be 1.5% of his Gross Salary. Pitiful.
-
Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
What a disgraceful outcome.
No clear evidence of eye gouging??
What do they think he was doing with his hands digging into his face?? Trying to tickle him??
The medical outcome should not be the guiding factor in the sentencing. That he didn't do damage is of no skill or restraint by Greene, just dumb ass luck.
-
Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal
You want the best footballers playing finals; that is the only reason I can see him escaping with a fine. The cut under bonts eye, the scratches on his neck make this textbook unsportsmanlike behaviour.
I imagine Bont or the dogs would have needed to press the case to make a difference.
A fine is an absolutely disgraceful outcome!
