2021 Finals Round 1

[Booney]

Greene pleads Not guilty to making intentional contact.

Stevic made a statement that it was minimal contact and he didn't feel threatened. This prick will get off.

Tribunal chair "The contact can be deemed intentional if its aggressive (not for mine) forceful (not for mine), demonstrative (maybe) or disrespectful (certainly). "

[Booney]

Stevic doing his best to get Greene off here.

[Booney]

Not now, Stevic "It's not a good look for the game and there's an element of it being disrespectful"

Gonski now.

[Bum Crack]

Stevic doing his best to get Greene off here.

Did his best to get him off and then sunk the boots in right at the end. Bye bye Toby.

[am Bays]

I was trying to avoid him but I walked in direct line with him....

If the AFL let Greene off ... every kid playing the game will try and copy him walking into umpires

Apples and oranges, I can't believe that AFL suspensions seem to hold little weight.

I reckon it's 22 times he's been charged with onfield discretions, that's a life ban in any amateur or community league.

(Gleeson - for the AFL )

Gleeson: The truth is you deliberately bumped into Matt Stevic.

Greene: No I did not.

Gleeson: You did that because you're annoyed a free kick was reversed.

Greene: No I did not.

Gleeson: It wasn't an accident ... you did it because you wanted to.

Greene: No I did not.

Being on a junior committee, it is sometimes difficult to tell the kids what they can and can't do based on what they see on TV. My son is in U12's and knows what's right and wrong from our conversations - so he's educated in the game enough to ignore the punishment/lack of punishment and realise you just don't touch umpires, but others might not have that level of education in the game available to them.

Are these questions or not???
Gleeson is making statements.
Either he should be asking questions, or toby shouldn't be forced to repeatedly answer the same thing over and over.

[RB]

It's not clear whether Greene was called to give evidence by the AFL or by himself. If the latter, then the above excerpts are from cross-examination where the AFL would naturally ask leading questions - i.e. by making statements - to test his evidence.

[Lightning McQueen]

The longer it takes the more safer he is IMO, I feel that he's getting off......................and won't get games.

I still can't see how that could be possible bud. The tribunal would be aware of the potential ramifications for the entire code.

[Booney]

Why am I thinking he's going to get off?

[MW]

He's not getting off, but the longer it goes, likely only going to get 1 game.

[Dinglinga75]

Panic stations inside AFL house ???

[Lightning McQueen]

Panic stations inside AFL house ???

It wasn't Toby Greene, it was Jarvo!!

[Booney]

Panic stations inside AFL house ???

Agreed.

[tigerpie]

If he gets less than 4 Diesel's gonna explode!

[Rik E Boy]

If he gets less than 4 Diesel's gonna explode!

Diesel's act was bloody ordinary but jeez did they make an example of him at the time.
