The Greater Western Sydney GIANTS have been notified by the manager of Toby Greene that he intends to dispute a five match suspension and $5000 fine for breaching club protocols.

The Board accepted a recommendation by the club's player leadership group to impose sanctions on Greene for drinking alcohol while he was injured and failing to notify the club about an incident in Melbourne last Monday night.

The GIANTS are seeking further advice from the AFL about the dispute resolution process and have no further comment to make at this stage.
