Dale Thomas told Triple M Footy's Trade Tracker podcast that he thinks Toby Greene has been harshly dealt with by the AFL appeals board.
Greene had his three match ban upgrade to six weeks for making contact with umpire Matt Stevic in the elimination final against Sydney.
"I just find this one pretty confusing to be completely honest with you," Thomas said.
"I think that Toby Greene has certainly become the poster boy of what you can't do in the AFL."
