- Toby Greene reveals financial repercussions of the assault case
- GWS's star says he had no understanding of the consequences
Captain Toby Greene of the GWs has opened about the financial cost of his infamous assault of a pub goalkeeper, labeling him as a “very stupid moment.”
The incident, which occurred in Caulfield East, Melbourne in 2014, saw Greene and a friend involved in a violent altercation with a security guard in Zagame's pub after the service was denied.
Greene, who was using a crutch at that time due to an injury, intervened to help her friend who was fighting with a gorilla.
The goalkeeper was dragged by the stairs, beaten, kicked and beaten with a crutch during the incident.
Greene faced several positions, including a serious intentionally, illegal assault and assault with a weapon.
The Footy star declared himself guilty of illegal assault and finally escaped the conviction in the Melbourne magistrates, but received a fine of $ 2,500.

Greene says she had no understanding of the consequences at the time of the assault
However, the consequences extended beyond the court room with club fines and Greene's reputation damage.
And the repercussions did not end there, with the goalkeeper in question then submitting a lawsuit against Greene claiming that he suffered from posttraumatic stress disorder, depression and a broken finger that left him unable to work as a result of the attack.
“I would love that thirty seconds ago,” Greene told Channel Seven No filter podcast.
'I simply did not have the understanding of the consequences … it was very stupid. It costs between 250 and 300 thousand dollars, I think.
“Once you have a daughter, you value it more than me at that time.”
Greene also revealed that she was “very” close to dying in Bali while on a surf trip at the end of the season at the end of last year.
Footy's star thought she knew better than the locals when taking a shortcut in a reef area to reach a popular rest.
He read the situation badly and how big were the waves, and soon he was in big problems.

The Captain of the GWS giants confessed that he almost died because he made a silly decision on how to row in surf
“The first wave hit me and I couldn't believe how great and powerful it was,” he said.
The second hit me and took away my table, so I'm caught there, shouting, the jet ski cannot affect me. I was less than two more … I had no air in the system.
Greene finally reached a point where Jet Ski could pick it up, but says it was a close decision.
“If I got stuck where the waves were more, I was in big problems.”
