his feud with the Western Bulldogs<\/a> \u2014 tension exploded in the 2019 elimination final when he made contact with Marcus Bontempelli\u2019s face and pulled his hair in ugly scenes. <\/p>\n\u201cHe wasn\u2019t happy about me pulling his hair,\u201d Greene said in the documentary. <\/p>\n
After being asked by a producer off camera if the pair get along, Greene puts it bluntly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll never have a beer with him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Greene and Bontempelli were two of the more senior players to represent Victoria in this month\u2019s State of Origin game, and the pair appeared to put any bad blood behind them. <\/p>\n
Greene, who has played 261 games for the Giants, was called out directly by GWS coach Adam Kingsley in a blistering spray captured in the new No Holds Barred documentary. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou know why \u2026 you don\u2019t f***ing stand up,\u201d Kingsley barked at Greene at halftime of a round 20 game against the Sydney Swans when the Giants trailed by 28 points<\/p>\n
\u201cThree f***ing touches in a half. You don\u2019t stand up. You allow yourself to be beaten. You don\u2019t change your position, you don\u2019t get to contests and you\u2019re undisciplined. What are you going to do about it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kingsley then points to Josh Kelly as his tirade continues: \u201cWhat are you going to do about it? You\u2019re a f***ing leader.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t f***ing mean anything to us, it never does. We talk a f***ing good game, we talk a good game.<\/p>\n
\u201cGuess what they do? They go and out-tough you and embarrass you every single f***ing time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then it\u2019s Stephen Coniglio\u2019s turn in the fry pan.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow many high speed metres has this bloke got?\u201d Kingsley asks as he points at the midfielder.<\/p>\n
\u201c23 f***ing high speed metres. For the game. Start f***ing running.\u201d<\/p>\n
The blistering spray from Kingsley clearly got through to his players as they went on to kick 12 goals in the second half while keeping the Swans to a single goal. A 28-point halftime deficit turned into a 44-point victory.<\/p>\n
The Giants have made finals in Kingsley\u2019s three seasons in charge, but are set to be without several key players to start the season. <\/p>\n
Tom Green (ACL) is out for the season, gun defender Sam Taylor suffered a hamstring strain in State of Origin, and midfielder Toby Bedford also strained his hamstring in a practice game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GWS Giants captain Toby Greene has revealed he punched his \u201cextremely drunk\u201d father and \u201ctold him to f***…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":508675,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-508674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508674"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508674\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/508675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
