Toby Greene reveals new Essendon coach Mark McVeigh’s shock trade play ahead of AFL trade decision

Toby Greene has revealed newly appointed Essendon coach Mark McVeigh has already reached out to the GWS captain about a possible reunion.

Greene is considering a move home to Victoria to be closer to family but remains adamant he is not “definitely going”.

He will begin meeting clubs as early as this weekend, starting with Geelong, but the Bombers have now emerged on the scene.

Greene volunteered the information on his podcast as he opened up on taking “the next couple of weeks” to discuss what’s next with wife Georgia.

I’ve probably thought about it the last week for the first time,” he said.

“I put it to the back of my mind the whole season. As much as people might find that hard to believe — that’s the truth.

“I felt like a lot of people in Melbourne or friends, maybe even some people at the club, feel like I’m definitely going, which is not true.

“I’ve never felt (that). If I was definitely going I’d say that now, I’d be up front with the Giants and make it easy for them.

“Spike has reached out as well since he got the (Essendon) job and asked could I catch up,” he said.

“I said I’d catch up with him but it wasn’t exactly what I was thinking all year at all. So we’ll see how that goes.

“Me and Georgia and the fam, we’ll have a good think about that over the next week or two. Write that all down, write the pros and cons — not that there’s really cons of either.

“I’m in a fortunate position and just do, I guess, whatever feels right.”

Greene said if he remains with GWS he will do so hopeful of contending for a premiership.

“One thing I want to do with them is win a flag and that’s the best thing I could ever do in footy,” he said.
