But Wayne Carey says is it, even though the subject gets more leniency than any other player in the league for face kicking and clawing.

The Greene cycle of offending is really good stuff. Does a heap of dirty shit, develops a rep for it, and now can't be judged fairly on the dirty shit that he does because his rep precludes any fair assessment apparently.
I don't know about you guys but in any of the footy I ever played I never once, in any situation including that one that Toby was just in, felt the need to lead with my elbow. I love Toby but of course he knew what he was doing.
Completely agree. I can't believe the defence of Toby Greene of all people on here. I have played a lot of footy and have never fended off with an elbow in my life. Watch Dusty, although most don't have his strength you want to keep the tackler away from you with an extended arm. An elbow or forearm is only intended to maim.
I’m not so against the Toby Greene decision. It’s more in relation to the inconsistencies in the Selwood bump and Dangerfields incident in the GF last year.
The alternate angles are a bit more damning - he does lift Bont clear off the ground and throws him back down head first. My initial impression from the TV angle was holding the ball, but the side angle shows it was the correct call.
Still don't necessarily agree with the suspension, but it's consistent with Caleb earlier in the year.
Toby Greene 1 Week after charge downgraded.
Weak decision, it's either a reportable offence and 2 weeks or it's not and he's clear to play.
Mason Redman's rough conduct charge has been downgraded to low impact.
Maybe we should have challenged Caleb's charge as I see no difference
If I was a conspiracy theorist i’d suspect that with lost coin from crowds the AFL desperately wants the Tigers to boost up broadcast numbers come finals. Greene had to go. Operation #freekickrichmond coming up.
