    Yep that was the really big problem. Getting our arses handed to us made heaps of other things look much worse.

    I'm still a bit stunned at how easily we rolled over though.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

    Cheap, that will encourage him to do it again. AFL is only tokenistic with stampind out violent snipers especially at finals. AFL would rather keep its players who add to TV spectacle (AFL's god).

    Cunnington laid 4 stomach punches in 2019, none of which warranted suspension. All this after a 'crackdown' on stomach punches was promised by the MRO at the start of the year lol.

    Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal

    All the media fan boys are talking down the severity.

    We know there is no fairness, but when you recall Redpath rubbed out against Phil Davis, which also included a medical report that Davis had somehow been stunned (could only have been for diving too hard at the ground), how can they not suspend the germ.

    We need a medical report

    "Bontempelli came off complaining of the pain in his eye and he played out the game with restricted vision. He was only allowed back on the ground as it was determined that no further damage could be done unless he was gouged again."

    What a joke! AFL aids and abets a toe rags thuggery. I am really angry about this.

    Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal

    OK then - the AFL have in effect allowed all & sundry to scratch, gouge and generally be a thug.

    What a dreadful advertisement for our game.

    If I had a young child I'd be seriously considering encouraging other sports.

    What a joke.

    I hope Gordon & other respected Club & Media officials speak out for our club and the general community on this woeful decision by the AFL.

    When I think about the multiple weeks suspension Redpath suffered for something much, much less worse I am even more livid.

    No other contact code would have allowed this to stand. Think back to 1998 when Liberatore clawed Lawrence and the uproar and backlash. Greene should have gotten weeks, not a fine that works out to be 1.5% of his Gross Salary. Pitiful.

    What a disgraceful outcome.
    No clear evidence of eye gouging??
    What do they think he was doing with his hands digging into his face?? Trying to tickle him??
    The medical outcome should not be the guiding factor in the sentencing. That he didn't do damage is of no skill or restraint by Greene, just dumb ass luck.

    Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal

    You want the best footballers playing finals; that is the only reason I can see him escaping with a fine. The cut under bonts eye, the scratches on his neck make this textbook unsportsmanlike behaviour.

    I imagine Bont or the dogs would have needed to press the case to make a difference.

    A fine is an absolutely disgraceful outcome!

    Re: Tip Rat Green Straight to Tribunal

    Greene has 17 offences at the tribunal and there is footage of the talented person intently trying to attack Marcus' face including grabbing his hair and banging his head against the ground. This after he deliberately put his boots into a player's face. Seems to me he doesn't cqre about others' wellbeing. Children see this and learn. So AFL think Greene's behavioyr is good. All the reports were " Greene relieved" at the AFL's judgement. As such it is an approval. Yes Toby do that and we will let you play. You are very important for our revenue, thats more important than your record of deliberately assaulting other players

    Predictable.

    Only way to stamp this out is to stamp Greene out - he has it coming.

    Very disappointing result. Should have been suspended. He has history of doing this type of stuff. He is a thug!

    Greene is being sued by the security bloke he assaulted at Zagame's five years ago.
