GWS Giants captain Toby Greene lands at Geelong Cats, Carlton Blues lodge paperwork for Sydney Swans forward Joel Amartey
It’s official. The Giants’ captain and best player is out the door to Geelong.
GWS confirmed on Friday they would receive a second round draft pick as compensation for the 33-year-old, who is an unrestricted free agent.
“Toby has been an incredible part of this football club for 15 years and we’ll never lose sight of what he’s given to the Giants,” GWS list boss Jason McCartney said.
“While we’re disappointed that his journey with us has come to an end, we’re also incredibly proud of what he achieved and the role he played in helping build this club.
“An inaugural player at the club, Toby arrived at the Giants as a teenager and grew into a remarkable leader who not only performed at the highest level but just as importantly, he helped shape the club into what it is today.
“While again it’s difficult to see him go, we respect Toby’s decision to return home to Victoria and we thank him for the enormous contribution he made to the club.”
