GWS star Toby Greene is free to play in Saturday’s sudden-death semi-final against Brisbane after escaping suspension at the AFL tribunal.
An “extremely apologetic” Greene has been been fined $7500 after pleading guilty to serious misconduct for an incident involving Western Bulldogs opponent Marcus Bontempelli.
The three-member jury on Monday night took 12 minutes to settle on Greene’s penalty after the AFL’s legal counsel, Jeff Gleeson QC, recommended a financial sanction was appropriate.
