The one-game suspension for Toby Greene<\/a> has been upheld at the AFL<\/a> tribunal, with the GWS<\/a> captain set to miss this weekend's clash with the Brisbane Lions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old was cited for an incident with Jordan Boyd during the fourth quarter of the Giants' round six loss to Carlton on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Greene was charged with careless conduct, medium impact and high contact on Boyd.<\/p>\n

During the hearing, Greene explained his actions and why he believed he deserved to be cleared to play against the Lions, disagreeing with the prosecution's assessment.<\/p>\n

"The whole time I thought I was a good chance to take the mark … at the last moment I realised he was going to touch the ball before me, then I braced for impact," he said.<\/p>\n

"If I go in with an open chest, I open myself up to impact. Hence turning my body to protect myself, knowing he was going to get there before me.<\/p>\n

"If I go for the mark with my hands out and he tucks in because he's going to take the mark, I'm highly exposed and vulnerable."<\/p>\n

His plea fell on deaf ears however, with the tribunal sticking with the MRO decision and suspending Greene for one match. \ufeff<\/p>\n

Giants teammate Jesse Hogan<\/a> has been cleared to play on Anzac Day however, with his one-game ban for striking Lewis Young overturned at the tribunal.<\/p>\n

Hogan struck Young in the head during a scuffle and the incident was initially graded intentional conduct, low impact and high contact, before being thrown out by the panel.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old Giants forward is leading the Coleman Medal leaderboard with 21 goals from six games and his inclusion for Thursday's match will come as a huge boost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
