GWS bad boy Toby Greene has again ignited controversy in the first quarter after what looked to be yet another instance of unnecessary contact to the face of an opponent.
After a tackle from Tigers defender Liam Baker, Greene appeared to take a swipe at his opponent’s face, drawing the immediate intrigue and ire of Channel Seven commentator Brian Taylor.

Greene has been cited in both finals he’s played this September. He sensationally escaped with a $7500 fine for incredibly rough contact to the head and face of Marcus Bontempelli in his side’s big elimination final win over the Western Bulldogs.
Even more controversially, he had a one-match suspension upheld twice at the tribunal for making unnecessary contact to Lachie Neale of Brisbane’s eye in the three-point semi-final win.
The latter incident forced him to miss the preliminary final win over Collingwood, while also making him the prime target of ‘feedback’ from opposition supporters.
