    They'll appeal. Have to.

    Geez that's weak! This should have been a clear message sent to everyone playing football. You do not touch an umpire under any circumstances or "this" will happen. "This" turned into a 3 week slap on the wrist.

    Agree 100%. I’m wondering if they do it out of sheer desperation of playing a final in a few days? A bad gamble of the appeal fee.

    AFL should appeal but the suspension being just long enough for Greene to miss the rest of the finals series will probably convince them not to. Not sure if GWS will appeal, I assume they'll try anything to give Greene a chance of playing again this year.

    Overall, it's another weak half and half suspension that satisfies no one. Same as Greene's suspension from a few weeks ago that should've either been 2 matches or nothing and ended up being 1 match.

    Weak as predictable. I wonder if it would’ve been more if it was a “no name”.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    Should have been 3 weeks plus 3 weeks suspended. The 3 weeks suspended triggered against any report at all, so that he thinks twice before being a dickhead.

    Re: MRO Thread

    3 weeks is a bit under for mine, but what's important is that if GWS make the GF, good-bloke-with-a-rough-life-plays-on-the-edge Toby Greene will be pouting on the sidelines.

    If that doesn't gladden the heart then you're dead inside.

    It's a shame Toby won't be around to harass the Cats they must be stoked. I noticed Whateley was particularly vocal re. Green being suspended this week.

    Can someone please explain why Francis fell over on the 50 but the umpire brought Dunkley back to about 44? Does he get to kick it from where he fell over?

    They paid it as a 50m to Draper.

    The MRO really got sucked in by Francis acting like he was unconscious. There really wasn't any head contact there at all

    Yeah they either take the full down field or the fifty, depending on which is the more severe penalty.
