Greater Western Sydney Giants star Toby Greene could get back in trouble with the Match Review Officer after hitting an opponent in Saturday’s Win over the Fremantle Dockers at Perth Stadium.
In the last quarter of Round 14, Greene stayed on camera by throwing his arm back and touching the chest of Fremantle defender Reece Conca.
The off-court incident took position tens of yards from the ball, and Conca fell to the grass and grabbed his stomach.
A coach ran to the floor towards the 28-year-old, but Conca stood up and continued to play.

If MRO Michael Christian thinks the coup is intentional and of “medium impact,” Greene would be suspended for a week and the Giants’ game would be lost to Carlton on Thursday.

Brisbane Lions legend Jonathan Brown has argued that Greene, who claims to have a criminal record on the MRO incident, would be suspended.
“That’s the reaction. We know that the AFL is not very excited about this action, that’s the player’s reaction, and obviously he was injured. He’s a tough player,” Brown told Fox Footy.
“How do you delineate a low effect in a medium effect?Conca went back there, so is it just a low effect? No one really knows.
The wonderful Brad Johnson of the Western Bulldogs explained: “It’s silly of Toby. There’s no desire to do that.
“You control the game and control your opponent on the day.
“Surely there’s no desire to put yourself in this position. “
Speaking to reporters after the game, Giants coach Leon Cameron defended Greene: “He spoke to Toby and said he had just left.
“Obviously it fell, all the conversations in our locker room were just, “Everything will be fine. “
“As Toby is, it will be front-page news, but we are used to it. We’re not worried. “

Returning from a three-week absence due to injury, Greene made 14 eliminations and scored a purpose in the Giants’ convincing victory 14. 7 (91) to 8. 5 (53) over Fremantle.
Meanwhile, the Giants’ young pistol, Jake Riccardi, made his mark by scoring 4 goals in his AFL game time.
“This guy looks like Wayne CareyArray . . . it’s exceptional,” Brown said.
“I can’t think of a key striker who would possibly have burst into the scene like this at the beginning of his career in recent years. “
ABC announcer Ben Cameron tweeted: “Despite their most sensible talent, the GWS Giants have discovered a player in Jake Riccardi. They complement what they already have on their front line. Diamond in the rough. “
