I think Libba should have been charged by police for his assault on Knights as I believe any assault should be. I had a workmate near the incident who said it was a snipe as Knights came near him.

There was an interesting bit of Bob's book about his early years (think this was specifically his first game) when Libba and Hammill were going at it and he was yelling 'you and f...ing me' repeatedly at him.
Picture yourself amongst these huge men in that agitated state - no thanks.
I believe Libba's hit on Knight's was extremely low, I think we can/should accept that. It also shouldn't invalidate any opinion we have on this current situation.
Listened to SEN a bit this morning, Sheahan shares my view that Greene should've been suspended. Watson tried to imply that nothing else bar hair pulling happened. Pulling someone's head up by their hair and slamming it back into the turf while being shielded by a teammate is not nothing.
Then you have Brereton and noted ball-player Jordan Lewis haughtily backslapping each other while exclaiming they couldn't believe Greene was fined at all. Bah. What did he do wrong?
What they're tacitly saying of course is the player's code should have dealt with it rather than the the MRP.
Perhaps a little something like this Jordie?

Libba at least didn't go out to seek Knights. Libba saw Knights coming towards him from the corner of his eye, so lifted the elbow which caught Knights right on the forehead which bleeds easily. It was hardy even a cut, and looked worse than it was. However, that prick Campbell, who is now with GWS, dobbed Libba right in.
Rex Hunt on Marngrook was terrific in his assessment. Slammed the AFL and Greene.
Well written messages DD and ML. Great that you are expressing yourselves on this issue.
The grub was probably the difference tonight. Brisbane unlucky
Green came as a third person and went straight for the face although not much in it.
Cornes flying Green's flag and taking a dig at the ump for over umpiring last night.
The free the ump's missed cost the Lions the game.
But bombing it into their forward line in the last didn't help it just suited the plastics defenders.
Pissed off two weeks in a row because I wanted these stuck up snipers knocked out.
He’s been given a week.
Why the hell are his hands there anyway, something Suarez about this kid.
The Tip Rat "didn't think there was much in it" so it'll be ok. AFL can rest easy. GWS will challenge and he'll get a fine.
Can't understand why our Club rolled over on this. Don't want to be seen as squealers? Leant on by the hierarchy? Revenge is a dish best served cold. Am I getting paranoid?
