What's the bet that the AFEL will get Toby off, and they are just working on the spin.
Perhaps Justice, traditionally being blindfolded, means that she didn't see the TV vision.
No way he gets off, but ridiculous having a 3 hour tribunal. The penalty will be interesting.

Anything under 4 weeks will be laughable.
I don’t care if it’s Greene. Didn’t Greg Williams get 9 for shoving an umpire ?
I will never see #16 the same!!

Part 1 - Find him guilty. Tick
Part 2 - Severe penalty. TBA

Must surely be at least two on that charge.
Wording from the jury was “aggressive, demonstrative and disrespectful”.
That’s with Stevic playing it down in his evidence.

Would be a good outcome if he can convince them.

Re: MRO Thread
Not often I agree with the afel but today is that day:
The AFL's legal counsel, Jeff Gleeson QC, is arguing for a suspension of no less than six matches. He says: "This is a serious offence and a serious moment in the governance of the game."

GWS counsel arguing for a fine, while simultaneously citing Tom Hawkins’ suspension in 2018. You can’t make this up.

Pathetic effort by the silk wasn’t it? Surely there was a better argument to be made. Probably several.

Age says, "Ihle says a fine of $20,000-$25,000 would be appropriate. He compares it to James Hird’s fine for comments about umpire Scott McLaren in 2004."

Three weeks.
Seems pretty light for the seriousness of the charges.
He certainly shouldn't get time off for good past behaviour.

Re: MRO Thread
Will the AFEL appeal?
He left early to fly to WA. Will he appeal?
If it holds, it rules him out for the rest of the year. That’s going to hurt the team more than him. Selfish flog.

Surely they’d have to get the whole verdict overturned to avoid a suspension.
Can’t see that happening.
