He tried to “Kayo” the competition… “It’s alright bro…” 😂😂😂

Toby gets 6 but because the afl loves the bulldogs he only get 2...... seriously he headbutted someone

He had a bad day at the hair salon.

They should be banned from the game for good

Would take that getting off Lightly.

Can’t let it go without a penalty. 2 is light . Can’t headbutt.

Sad event, but too much leniency if the plan is to rid the sport of such behaviour.

Two weeks? Is that it? I love this kid and I don’t support Footscray but that is grossly inadequate. This is the new precedent. Mark it in your diaries folks.

What's going on with the mullets and mustaches? Is it supposed to be irony?

'twas just a wee Liverpool kiss.

Hello ABC, are you still in lockdown in Victoria? Its State of Origin time. The rest of Australia is up to date, but poor old Aunty is still trudging along in her horse & sulky!!

Silly Bailey, he should have saved the Footscray Kiss for Toby Greene. MightyWest

The umpires should get the rest of the year off for creating the incident, where does the AFL find these clowns FFS

Should have gone in harder Bailey, the applause would have been louder 👍✅

Tuohy ran away pretty quick... Lol Not so tough.

One of the most exciting players in the game. Not a Bulldogs fan but come on, there was nothing in it!

Only 2 weeks? Asking for a friend.

Dog 🐶

AFL thug

Tuohy should get weeks also - he simulated post contact and went in with the head also. Both grubs

What did he get for that hair style?
