    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.
    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

      And a known arsehole, Carey is an authority on the topic.

        Yeah but Carey bashes women, so I place no weight in anything he says.

          Plus grabs women by the breast and insults them. And gives a character reference to Jason Moran, I assume for executing Alfonse.

            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.

                  Still don't necessarily agree with the suspension, but it's consistent with Caleb earlier in the year.

                    This ^^^

                    MRO has to be consistent with these. Crozier copped a weak for something similar as well. Sick of only Dogs players getting done.

                        Weak decision, it's either a reportable offence and 2 weeks or it's not and he's clear to play.

                          Yep, having it both ways. Concocted result which does nothing for the credibility of the tribunal.

                            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.
