Footy star reveals his teammate's disgusting habit with his underpants and a common piece of kitchen equipment
Greater Western Sydney Giants skipper Toby Greene has revealed the downright stomach-turning habit that his teammate Tom Green has when he's staying in a hotel room. Green, who is often away from home travelling with his team, has devised an unconventional laundry hack that his captain has described as 'disgraceful'. 'This is not right in my books,' smiled Green while appearing on the TFG Tuesdays podcast. 'Tom Green reckons that sometimes when he's traveling, especially overseas, if he can't get to a laundromat or something, he will chuck his undies in a kettle and boil the kettle to clean his underwear in the hotel room. 'Disgraceful. And he reckons that it's a thing. 'I drink cups of tea every night at the hotels. I was disgusted.' Green says he couldn't believe what he was hearing and he was hoping that listeners to the show could provide their thoughts on the matter. Footy fans on social media were quick to agree with Greene's take about his teammate's laundry hack, with some vowing to never drink tea in a hotel room again. Several others piped up to say that they had heard of the practice. Meanwhile, GWS veteran Stephen Coniglio has revealed a nerve issue has been the cause of his indefinite stint on the sidelines. A glute issue originally thought to put Coniglio out for just one week has kept the star onballer missing from action since round three. It is a frustrating setback for the 31-year-old, who had been rediscovering his form after facial surgery and a shoulder reconstruction in the off-season. 'It was our West Coast game (in round four) and I just woke up like any other morning, just preparing to come to captain's run, and I just couldn't walk,' Coniglio said on Monday. 'I felt this pain shooting down my leg ... I just pulled out of that game, disappointing, just thinking a couple of days it'll settle. 'As it's gone on, it's moved from my glute down my hamstring. 'It's been a bit of trial and error, but it's a nerve issue that's bothering me. 'I tried a couple of injections that, again, hadn't seemed to work initially. We're trying a few other things at the moment.' Coniglio's return has been pushed back to their round-14 fixture against Brisbane, but he admits the timeline isn't certain. The time away from the game has at least given Coniglio more confidence in his shoulder and face, the inaugural Giant insisting he still has more to give. 'I'm over 30 now, so everyone's pointing to maybe it could be that, but I'm feeling 24, 25 again after having not played a lot for the last year,' he said. 'Last year, dealing with the two operations gave me some really good mental perspective on how lucky I am and how grateful I am to play this game. 'I'm very confident in my own ability and that I'll be back playing my best very soon. I love the game so much.'

Milestone man Greene lights up as Giants flex muscles
GWS superstar Toby Greene celebrated his 250-game milestone in style with a starring role in his side's hard-fought 28-point win over Carlton. Moved into the midfield to cover for injured teammates, Greene was an influential figure throughout the Giants' 17.8 (110) to 12.10 (82) victory at Marvel Stadium on Saturday. The inspirational skipper tallied 28 disposals, six clearances and three goals as GWS improved their record to 6-5, following four defeats in their previous five games. Carlton, meanwhile, slipped to 4-7 heading into their mid-season bye. Greene produced a huge opening term - 11 disposals, four score involvements and two goals - and kicked the sealer to help GWS resist a late challenge. He had plenty of teammates willing to get their hands dirty, with Tom Green (25 disposals), Lachie Whitfield (27), Lachie Ash (28) and Xavier O'Halloran (19) all busy. Jesse Hogan (four), Jake Riccardi (three), Callum Brown (three) and Aaron Cadman (two) all kicked multiple goals as the Giants posted their second-highest score of the season. 250 games for Toby Greene!And of course, the banner mentioned the fines 😂#AFLBluesGiants — AFL (@AFL) May 24, 2025 Blues captain Patrick Cripps struck the first blow in his battle with Toby Bedford, soaring for a mark on the tagger's shoulders and nailing a perfectly executed snap at goal. There were eight lead changes in the first half but none after the main break as GWS, whose greater efficiency in attack led to a 10-point half-time advantage, kept their noses in front. There was controversy when Bedford hurt his right shoulder attempting a tackle and umpires stopped play nearby several seconds later, deeming the injured player was in some danger. Carlton ruckman Tom De Koning had possession when a ball-up was called, while Bedford took his place next to Cripps at the ensuing stoppage despite his injury. Meanwhile, the Giants turned for home with a 14-point buffer when Riccardi delivered a dagger on the three-quarter time siren. GWS ruckman Kieren Briggs produced a highlight when he directly volleyed through a left-foot shot at a ball-up against De Koning at the top of the goal square. Carlton briefly got within nine points in the final term, but the Giants kicked the last three goals of the contest. Sam Docherty had 30 disposals and a goal on return for the Blues, who had few clear winners, with Sam Walsh (26 touches) and Cripps (25, one goal) also busy. Charlie Curnow kicked two of his three goals in the first quarter, but the Giants' defenders largely kept the Blues' tall forwards out of the contest. Carlton's defeat came despite their dominance in contested possession (154-116) and inside-50s (58-47).

Giants give Greene light for skipper's new role
Toby Greene in the centre square against Carlton might just be what GWS need to reignite their AFL season. With star onballer Finn Callaghan out through injury, goalsneak Greene is prepared to be deployed as a midfielder as his 250th match looms. Callaghan is set for a month-long stint on the sidelines after dislocating his shoulder in a collision with Fremantle's Patrick Voss on the three-quarter time siren in the Giants' home defeat. GWS were run over by 34 points after a substandard performance against Fremantle, leaving Kingsley to lament their lack of work in the midfield. Their bid to rediscover form won't get easier, with a Blues midfield led by two-time Brownlow medallist Patrick Cripps and Adam Cerra up next at Marvel Stadium. Experienced midfielder Josh Kelly remains at least one week away from a hip injury, while fellow veteran Stephen Coniglio has suffered another setback from a glute issue. It won't be the first time Giants captain Greene will be handed midfield minutes, but the 31-year-old admits he's got his work cut out for him. "I definitely need to relearn a few things. It's pretty hard work in there actually, so I've got to give them credit," Greene said on Thursday. "There's a few things I've really got to sharpen up on, some running patterns and things like that. "We've got guys who are pushing in the VFL, they've been doing really well in the midfield as well ... so I'm sure a few of us will be in there at different stages. "I'd probably rather be playing forward and consistently there, but just because of the injuries we've got and the boys that are out, it is what it is." Greene reaches the 250-game milestone after more than a decade at the Giants, drafted as an inaugural player with pick 11 in 2011. The All-Australian captain in 2023, Greene has long since shed his notoriety and built a reputation as one of the league's most creative and lethal forwards. He is a three-time All-Australian, a four-time club leading goalkicker, a two-time club best-and-fairest winner, and a one-time Brett Kirk medallist. A premiership with GWS is the only thing missing from his resume. "I'm probably not a deep thinker too much. I just sort of took it as it came and always had fun," Greene said. "I could sort of see in the early days when we were not winning many games, if we kept working hard, that potentially that might happen and we might start to turn. "And it did, being sort of able to compete for the last eight or 10 years. "Obviously, I haven't got to where I really want to get to, but I've always had fun."
