  • Audio from the incident shows that Greene told Stevic “he took a f***ing dive,” complaining about a free kick.

    Stevic’s testimony: “Greene made some minor contact to me...I didn’t feel threatened at the time.”

    Gleeson arguing that Greene had been aggressive, demonstrative and disrespectful towards Stevic during their three-quarter time run-in.

    Also, please let us know what you think via the comments tab.

    Gleeson says the jury must consider whether Greene had been aggressive, disrespectful, forceful or demonstrative. Any of those will automatically trigger a guilty finding.

    Greene pleads not guilty to the charge of making intentional contact to umpire Stevic.

    Ihle concedes though that Greene made contact to Stevic.

    The hearing is being held virtually. The tribunal chairman is Ross Howie, with jurors Stephen Jurica, Shane Wakelin and Richard Loveridge.

    Ben Ihle QC is representing Greene.

    Green and GWS footy chief Jason McCartney are sitting together in Tasmania.

    Jeff Gleeson QC is acting for the AFL.

    Toby Greene’s run-in with umpire Matt Stevic came just three days after concerns about player behaviour towards umpires were discussed at a meeting involving many of football’s heavy hitters.

    Well-placed sources have confirmed to The Age that the AFL’s competition committee â€" which features a host of club and industry leaders including Greene’s Greater Western Sydney captain Stephen Coniglio â€" spoke about a perceived trend of dissent towards on-field officials which some members of the committee agreed were trickling down to community football.
