\ufeffGreene, 32, appears alongside his wife Georgia and is asked about his father Michael, who was jailed following the 2019 grand final for headbutting a female police officer.<\/p>\n

On that occasion, Michael had watched his son lose the AFL grand final to Richmond before falling asleep in a toilet cubicle and then getting in an altercation with police.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"Ten, 15 years drinking alcohol and (taking) drugs (has) probably taken a fair toll on his body and brain,'' Greene says in the documentary.<\/p>\n

The Giants star then revealed he had his own altercation with his father following a different AFL game.<\/p>\n

"I knocked him out in the changerooms because he was drunk and carrying on,'' Greene said.<\/p>\n

"He's pretty loud and boisterous and (he was) extremely drunk.<\/p>\n

"And I was just embarrassed and just told him to F-off and punched him.<\/p>\n

"So, yeah, it's hard. The reason I love footy is because of him and (that is why I) got into it.<\/p>\n

\"Greene's<\/p>\n

"That's what I'll take with me and then you learn your lessons from some things that he's done that you can't do."<\/p>\n

Greene is a superstar on the field but has courted plenty of his own controversy over the years for a number of on-field acts.<\/p>\n

\ufeffIn the documentary he and Georgia open up on the abuse and death threats they receive from punters on social media regularly.<\/p>\n

"I knew it was something I guess my mum had to deal with as well ,'' Greene said.<\/p>\n

"But what you see is it does have ripple effects around you and it's something I would like not to happen, but sometimes I make silly decisions.''<\/p>\n

The Giants begin their AFL season against the Hawks on March 7.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
