Greene's ex-teammate says he abandoned Giants with Cats move
Joe Fonti takes aim at his former skipper after his defection to Geelong as the Giants look to make up for a host of lost experience.
Former GWS captain Toby Greene abandoned the team by joining Geelong as a free agent, as per his ex-teammate and current defender Joe Fonti. Greene, considered one of the greatest players in the Giants' 15-year history, left the club in search of more family support for his young family in Victoria. The departure of veteran forwards Jesse Hogan and Jake Stringer, along with star defender Lachie Whitfield and Kieren Briggs, further complicated the situation for the Giants.
Young defender Joe Fonti expressed his disappointment over Greene's decision, stating that it stings when a captain abandons the side. Fonti, however, praised Greene's leadership and mentioned that vice-captain Tom Green and star defender Connor Idun are strong contenders for the captaincy role. Despite the significant loss of 1,088 games' worth of experience, Fonti remains confident in the young core of the team and their ability to rise to the challenge.
