Geelong offers Toby Greene $3 million to leave GWS
Geelong has raised its offer to Greene to $3 million over three years as the GWS captain weighs leaving.
Geelong has upped its contract offer to GWS captain Toby Greene to $3 million for three years, trying to lure him home to Victoria. Greene, turning 33 next week, has never played anywhere else and has spoken of his desire to lead the Giants to a premiership.
Toby Greene owns a home on the Surf Coast and his partner is very keen to move back to the Victorian area. Greene is torn between that homecoming and loyalty to his club.
The decision was complicated when out-of-contract star Zak Butters chose the Bulldogs over Geelong, a move Greene said has not heavily swayed him. Greene told his podcast his mind is 'ticking' and he wants to lock in his choice soon.
