and both times, he has looked around to see if anyone is watching, it wasnt a reaction, he took the opportunity because it was there.

Attempted eye gouging should be 4 weeks. Actual eye gouging should be 12+.

This whole affair leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. And pundits questioning the integrity of Chrisso or Wakes is just icing on the cake. They are bigger men than me - I’d be telling everyone to go pleasure themselves publicly.

As for Paul Connors - what an unprofessional buffoon.

The mass triggering of those upset with the decision to suspend Greene is music to my ears :lol: :P

What did Murphy say? This is unbelievable.

The AFL have a duty of care to the players. If they let this sh** go on and someone in the future loses his eye-sight, the lawyers will go berserk.

How the **** has Greene come out of this smelling like roses? Everyone loves him. There's an article in the H-S by his bloody mother how great he is!!! "Justice 4 Toby" banners at our game, hugs and tears and everyone congratulating him and loving him. FFS. It's like I woke up in an alternate universe.

He should never be allowed to play again. Filthy, non-football acts 2 weeks in a row. I actually want to see Martin snap him in half.

They are enabling him and turning him into a monster, especially his club president and coach.

I've lost count of the positive articles for Greene this week. Mark Robinson has written several, and another one today. The Age today. FFS. The AFL spin doctoring makes me want to puke.

Did you see him going for someone's eyes in the first quarter? We need a qualified psychologist to explain why Toby sub-consciously attacks an opponent's eyes. Something weird is going on. He can't help it.

'The court heard Mr Greene requires Valium and Suboxone, a drug used for opioid dependence, while in custody.
...

Toby's mother, Kate, released a statement to the Seven Network, saying: "Toby is estranged from his father. His father has battled mental health issues and has had nothing to do with this family for over 20 years".'

Very sad adult life has Toby's father had. I knew him from primary school, a few years older but always really friendly as he mucked about with my older brother. He went on an had great career as a ruckman in the Amo's, he also tried out at Richmond 2nd's.
He worked in the family business, but mixed with the wrong crowd after footy. He got into the bad stuff and by the sounds of it is very lucky to still be alive. I haven't seen him for about 30 years when he did some work for me. Not too many junkies are still alive at 59 years of age. He'll have to do his time, but seriously people, don't take it out on Toby.
