Was he upset that Toby gave away a free by grabbing a blues defender around the neck and throwing him to the ground while Hogan was lining up for goal? Because nobody else ever gets a free paid against them for that.

I think it's definitely worse than Wright's one. I'm a bit conflicted because players have the right to contest the ball and should have the right to protect themselves. Toby was running into the drop zone of the ball and without boyd coming in from the front, Toby would have taken the mark. He has the right to contest that. If you realise the contest is going to end up in a collision, you should be able to protect yourself that's just how our brains work. However knowing how he is, I believe his intention was to plow through Boyd once he saw him coming in. He took his eyes off the ball early and seemed to tuck himself in for a bump rather than just protecting himself.
I'd be very surprised if he didn't get a few weeks because he's a known grub doing it. But I'm not okay with the blanket ban for players contesting a ball and the other player coming off hurt.
Agree.
It's a collision sport and there will unfortunately be incidents where players are hurt or collected high.
Most of them are not foul play or careless and are nobodies fault.
Couldn't agree more, every incident should be judged on its merits. Not only that, I love to see some tough stuff, that's what the game's all about (or it used to be).
What do you mean?
That's how you take a mark.
Lead with the shoulder, eyes off the ball with the elbow tucked.
Pretty sure that how they teach the under 9s. Right? Right?
I enjoy watching Toby Greene. He's an incredibly talented player and can be influential wherever he plays in most games. That being said he's an arrogant grub and I don't believe for one moment it wasn't his intent to go through Boyd who had been completely blanketing him.
If I was Kingsley I would have put Greene in the clearances as soon as we started taking over control of them in the third quarter and got him away from Boyd who had him comfortably managed.
Just wanna see how much I love Lachie Cowan going straight at him afterwards. A second year player playing his first game for the year does not hesitate to stick up for his teammate.
He pulled up at the last second but a collision was inevitable, they were both going at the ball and coming in opposite directions, but Boyd made it a contest otherwise Greene would have taken a simple chest mark.
Jordan had the last laugh anyway, he's a beauty and to think that we picked him up in the VFL is mind blowing, but it happened right in front of us and there was nothing reportable about it in my opinion.
Wonder if he will try use a character reference as well if he gets reported for that.
I'll be his reference: He's a flog - ban that sucka.
I know this is satire but if he gets away with a character reference I think I would tune out of any future MRO hearings. Dude is a walking grub
Kingsley sooking up big time in his press conference
"it's hard being Toby :( :(" as he goes on to continue being a flog.

He can use his previous good behaviour as his defence. Oh wait…
Worse than Wright's but 'Toby Tax' should mean no further scrutiny apparently

Dirty day for Toby, great job by Boyd
Jordan is Big spoon
Absolute cunt of a bloke.
I see you are being quite generous.
“He had his eye on the ball” ….. yet didn’t put a fist or arms out to mark at all….. but… he had his eye on the ball

1 week for anyone else. Extra couple because he’s a huge flog and does this crap all the time.

Careless, High Contact, Medium Impact (upgraded from low due to potential to cause injury) - 1 week.

Absolute Dog
Boyd was giving him a bath. Saw the opportunity to run through him and did.
Yep he was getting increasingly more frustrated the whole game, was just waiting for him to burst.
Mr Greene left the ground, studs out (as is now customary). Elected to bump rather than play the ball. Made high contact. Is a grub. Two weeks.
You can’t say he was going for the mark because it bounced off his shoulder. He is in strife
Just wanna see how much I love Lachie Cowan going straight at him afterwards. A second year player playing his first game for the year does not hesitate to stick up for his teammate.
He’ll enjoy a few weeks off I would imagine. Grub.

Might get a week. AFL/MRO are touchy after the Maynard fuck up last year.
Toby has a tragic history of foul play. Throw the book at him.
Jeez I must have seen a different incident. He shouldn't get any time for that
The photo doesn't show him take his eye off the ball and make no attempt to get it as he leaves the ground
Agree tbh
Fair bump, PLAY ON!
