    Perhaps hard for you both to answer - was Marley Williams lucky?

    With having no experience with the law or knowing the facts I get the feeling Greene will get a suspended sentance at worse.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    Without access to the information who knows.

    At a guess he'd be able to plead down to lesser charges, and probably get a suspended sentence, but I'm not at all familiar with the Vic system.

    Suspended sentence, $200 fine (although for him it will be more like $2000 perhaps) and maybe 50-100 hours community work doing re-veg at primary schools.

    Better yet would be to attend a session to discuss the ins and outs of his actions with previous victims of violence.

    Personally, I think he was lucky. By playing not guilty you lose a naive playing card when it comes to sentencing. His age would have certainly helped him.

    Setting aside thoughts on Toby - let's await the verdict - if GWS culture is stinky poos can we target one or more of their gun players? Whose coming out of contract 2014/15? I like Leon Cameron, however I think he has a problem with too many young guns and not enough level headed senior guys.

    The club would be crazy not to be monitoring homesick ex Vic players from GWS and Gold Coast.

    Police will lay every charge that 1) they see fits the deed and 2) they think they have enough evidence for. It's likely he'd only get done for one or two.

    I heard he picked up a stool and crutches and went to work. Innocent until proven guilty, but if so, he'd be hard-pressed to keep his job.

    Yep. But for me it speaks to the legal system more broadly as a construct of an equal society. If he was from Broadmeadows or Frankton (etc) and had no job and no ability to have enough money for a good barrister, he gets locked up for 6 months. But that's enough society chitter chatter, but I agree with all of that.

    David Rhys Jones empathizes. Cry me a river.
    Try empathizing with all the guys who are advanced in age now with niggling health problems thanks to that thug.

    I had a chuckle at that article as well.

    Of all the people to get a character reference from, they went with DRJ?

    The desperation to paint Toby as some kind of victim or martyr is getting more and more laughable.
