Toby Greene leaves GWS Giants to join Geelong for family reasons
GWS captain Toby Greene has told the club he wants to move to Geelong for family reasons and to play top-four football.
Toby Greene, captain of the GWS Giants, has told the club he wants to move to Geelong. The decision comes after weeks of uncertainty, with Greene thinking over whether to stay with the struggling Giants or relocate to Victoria.
Greene cited family reasons and wanting to play in a consistently competitive team. Geelong's offer is reportedly a three-year deal at just under $1 million per season, plus incentives.
The move adds to the Giants' mounting troubles: they failed to make the top 10 this season, have already delisted three experienced players, and face potential losses of defensive pair Lachie Whitfield and Harry Himmelberg.
The club is also struggling to find assistant coaches. Greene's departure marks another blow to a club in critical need of rebuilding.
