TOBY'S TRACK RECORD
Total: 18 charges
Suspensions: 7 matches
Fines: $26,350
UPDATE: Is this the evidence that will free Toby Greene?
"He (Neale) felt contact. He had no idea who it was," Fagan said.
"It wasn't enough to stop him from playing on. It just caused him a little bit of disturbance for a few seconds and he dusted it off and kept going.
"It wasn't in the eyes. It was more to the nose was what he said to me yesterday."
Greene will face the Tribunal on Tuesday night at 5pm AEST.

Surely the AFL will get a detailed medical report on this rather than rely on the old 'say nothing ' culture of rival clubs

Not what the AFL website is reporting. They are showing new footage which clearly shows Green's hands going close to, and most probabily contacting Neale's eye region.
I thought he would get off, until I saw that footage. FFS, after being fined $7500 last week, and saying he was sorry, he is now caught putting his hands again on a player's face. It is almost immaterial whether the contact was harsh or not...the fact that after the previous week he dares once again to contact an opponent's face will surely be enough, given that the visible evidence exists

Richmond have just qualified for the grand final, watch them excuse Greene's thuggery because of their marketing strategy.

I can’t wait to see Coach Baldrick’s cunning plan.

A bit over all the Greene attention, I'm kind of hoping he plays now and gets smashed!

Yeah if they let him off it reminds me of that lowlife killer of the young woman in Brunswick a few years ago. Out on bail on serious rape charges and he goes and kills someone else while waiting.
Toby Greene has the same psychopathic personality! He can't help himself.
Gee that's a tough analogy!!!!

Northern clubs sticking together against the hated black and white hordes from the south?

When you see the zoomed in footage Greene clearly uses his fingers in a raking action over the eye area of Neale.
Moments later Neale is seen clutching at his face seemingly in pain.
I'll be staggered if he gets off.
Oh and to those ex-footballers in the media who keep carping on that what happened last week should be treated separately to this incident I call bulls**t.
Get found guilty in a court of law on a charge that carries a potential term of imprisonment the Magistrate may well be lenient and hand down a non custodial sentence if you are a first time offender . Get found guilty again however on the same or similar charge and you can be damn sure your prior history will be taken into account.

To be clear, in judging whether an accused person is guilty or not of a charge, prior convictions must not be taken into consideration. Only the evidence for the present charge is to be considered - not what offence(s) he committed in the past.
If found guilty then any prior convictions of the accused can be used in sentencing.

Really?
It's the AFL, remember. The same organisation that has cheated many times to get the result it wants. He shouldn't have played last week and he should get at least 4 weeks for the eye raking, but he will get one week, at most.
