Overview

  • Footy Classified footage captured Toby Greene flicking his heel into Dane Rampe’s groin before the Sydney derby’s opening bounce on July 25.
  • Greg Swann said the Match Review Officer reviewed the incident but could not impose a sanction because Greene did not make contact.
  • Greene remains suspended for one match after a forearm strike on Isaac Heeney in the same game.
  • Swann called the kick a “horrible look” and warned it exposed limitations in the AFL’s current disciplinary framework.
  • Stephen Coniglio will captain the Giants against the Western Bulldogs as GWS presses its bid for a top-four finish.
