I read somewhere no player has been suspended for anything since July....
Thats interesting, and i have had the feeling that they are letting a lot more go though.
However, I doubt Toby Greene would have been suspended in H&A. There was no eye-gauging, it was a bit a hair pulling, pushing head in the mud, and rubbing arm across face/head.
None of which warrant a suspension.
They would have to invent a new "Toby Greene" rule, and then a few months later retract it once a high profile victorian was changed with the same thing.
Like Goodes was the pieied piper that led the racists out of the shadows, Toby Green is the pieied piper of the anti-expansionists.
At the end of the 1st quarter there was another shocker. The marking contest between Toby Greene and Easton Wood. Princess Toby executes the perfect block with his forearm and Wood threw himself forward and is paid a free. On replay it was so obvious that Wood was staging.
I don't like the Bont very much but I don't like any of the Bulldogs players (for obvious reasons). However, what Toby Greene did was very ordinary.
As for the game I was barracking for GWS because I just couldn't stand to see the game gifted to the Bulldogs. It really did look like the only way for GWS to have a chance of winning was to beat up the opposition - and they did exactly that. I doubt very much it was by chance. I think they would have had a definite plan to get physical if the umpires started to turn the game in favour of the Bulldogs. In general, I don't like this approach but how else can a team nullify biased umpiring.

What a tosser this bloke is.
Had the gall to smirk during the "apology".
Hope they lose their next game. He doesn't deserve a premmie medal.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
The interesting thing to me was in the R22 game at Giants Stadium between GWS & the Bulldogs, the free kick count was 17-5 in the Bulldogs
favour. Yes, the Dogs gave away 5 free kicks in an entire game of footy according to the umpires. Seems unimaginable how that is even possible.
On Saturday the free kick count was 34-28 in the Dogs favour. So what happened to the Dogs game style in the space of three weeks to
mean they gave away almost six times as many free kicks?. As is well known it was a physical game, but it was GWS doing the roughing
up and applying relentless pressure. So you can see how they might give away some more free kicks than usual. But the Dogs total was also
very high, 28, up from 5 three weeks earlier. Did they start unravelling because of the pressure from GWS? or something seriously wrong
with the umpiring in R22? Five free kicks in an entire game!
