Toby Greene, Marcus Bontempelli detail lingering feud seven years after infamous finals clash

Nearly seven years after their infamous clash in an AFL elimination final in 2019, Marcus Bontempelli and Toby Greene still harbour ill will towards one another.

Speaking to Amazon Prime for the streaming company's four-part docuseries Final Siren: Inside the AFL, the Bulldogs skipper and GWS Giants captain both go into detail about their fiery past.

In the game in question, Greene was charged after he eye-gouged Bontempelli's face and pulled his hair, leading to a fine.

"He's an antagonist. Any time there's a bit of a scrap Toby is in the thick of it," Bontempelli says in the documentary.

Greene also touches on the incident that sparked the feud between the two.

"He wasn't happy about me pulling his hair," Greene says.

"I'll never have a beer with him."

Greene and Bontempelli have both been named in Victoria's squad for this month's AFL State of Origin game between the Vics and Western Australia.

Speaking after being handed a penalty of $7500 rather than a ban at the time, Greene seemed apologetic.

"Looking back on the incident, I understand I overstepped the mark in my remonstration and I understand it's not a great look," Greene said.

"I apologise to Marcus if there's any harm done.

"I thought it was a dangerous tackle and that's why I responded."

A three-member jury took 12 minutes to settle on Greene's penalty after the AFL's legal counsel, Jeff Gleeson QC, recommended a financial sanction was appropriate.

The Prime docu-series is produced by the same production company behind Formula 1's Drive to Survive.
