Toby Greene is the latest player to bear the brunt of some umpiring controversy after being penalised for holding the ball in a tense clash against Fremantle.
Greene was tackled immediately by Dockers superstar Andrew Brayshaw inside the Giants 50 metre arc and attempted to stand up in the tackle to get a kick away, but was penalised by the umpire.
“You can’t pay that holding the ball, he tried absolutely everything he could to get rid of it,” Hawthorn champion Jordan Lewis said on Fox Footy’s broadcast.

“That’s stiff.”
St Kilda champion Leigh Montagna echoed Lewis’ sentiments.
“Oh NO! Wasn’t given much time at all,” Montagna complained.
“Everything he’s been asked to do, but he’s been penalised… he actually did it so well to try and get boot to ball,” Lewis replied.
“He’s the only player in the last ten weeks who’s actually tried to get up and put it on his boot,” Geelong champion Cameron Mooney added.
