Kingsley Will Wait as Toby Greene Deliberates Free-Agent Future

The coach says he will not pressure the captain and that Greene’s choice could affect how the Giants shape their playing list.

Overview

  • GWS coach Adam Kingsley told media on Thursday that he would re-sign Toby Greene today if he could but will give him space and time to make an unrestricted free-agent decision.
  • Greene remains undecided and has not publicly discussed his contract with teammates, using the bye week to switch off rather than comment on his future.
  • Multiple Victorian clubs are reported to be monitoring Greene with Geelong named among the possible suitors if he chooses to return to Victoria.
  • The Giants face broader list pressure because several other key players — including Jesse Hogan, Jake Riccardi, Max Gruzeweski, Nick Madden and Kieren Briggs — are also off-contract at season’s end.
  • GWS point to a recent record of re-signing core players before final contract years but acknowledge they may need to make tough choices on which players to keep as the season unfolds.
