The whole problem with the intent grading is going to rear its head with Lynch this week.

He'll get a week for using a swinging arm gut punch from behind his opponent to generate separation in a situation where he then took an uncontest mark and kicked a goal. Meanwhile other players get the same penalty for being slightly clumsy while contesting the ball or tackling.

That sort of action, a deliberate punch from behind, 70m from the ball, should be a straight to the tribunal, 3+ weeks type penalty.

If they couldn't make "in play" as a grading criteria stick because everyone is always "in play", how about just measuring the distance from the ball at the time of the contact? Bands like 0-3m, 3-10m, 10-50m and 50+m, with a further distance band meaning a higher penalty.

How’s the “ahh it’s just the Suns, who cares lol” nature of their fixture.

• 2/8: vs Giants
• 6/8: vs Saints +4 days
• 12/8: vs Bombers +6 days
• 17/8: vs Tigers +5 days
• 21/8: vs Blues +4 days

Imagine if they were still in the Europa League.

I'd feel sorry for them except the whole season is being played in their home state sooooo .....

Don’t forget his ‘country game’ between Essendon(!) and Geelong... cripes.

Where do you remember this stuff from? Champagne comedy.

What does Lynch get for an off the ball punch? Probably an amount measured in dollars

What a ****in grub. We’re only seeing the bits caught on camera too

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Lynch wont even get a week off. Its not even as bad as the last time he hit someone behind play and he copped $500 that time.

If Mayes did it it would be described as the dirtiest dog act committed on a footy field since barry hall and he would get a month.

Tom Lynch is the new Alex Rance. Cheap shot merchant and a shit bloke.

lazy 836 metres gained from 27 disposals for luko

That's at least 42 Matt crouches

How on earth are the crows only paying $7.50 (TAB) to win on Sunday? They were $6 to beat the dogs who are only mid-table at best

Yeah i annoyingly chickened out of my weekly line bet against the Bulldogs because it was -31.5.

Its only a few more points against the Cats so I'm on board again.

I was there!!!!!!!!
They had some bloke playing guitar beforehand etc.

Played at the MCG as well, soooo country that!

 

[Enviable Tradition]

The Crows thread on Worrall is interesting.

No wonder they keep losing youngsters.

If they can't fix their culture quick they are going to keep losing their young guns and this rebuild could take decades.

The pointsbet ad really grinds my gears.

mumble mumble mumble

mumble mumble something mumble

I’ve always got the answer


what ******* thought a guy who can barely utter an intelligible word would make a great spokesman

 

[Harlott]

Baby faced Lynch is developing a nice little reputation, prone to snide, grubby actions on the field. Not very endearing.

Could Polec be on his way to a 4th club? Dropped again at the weekend by North who are going full re-build. Probably fit in well at West Lakes

I don't see it

Why would a club in stage 1 of a rebuild give up draft capital for a bloke who is 27 - not in a position of high demand, has an injured past and isn't known for setting great standards


If the crows do it it'll be to be better right now what's bizarre ( but then again they are 0-12)

they have no money in the salary cap, how would they be able to afford a player who demands upwards of $800k per year.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if he goes to a 4th club, would be incredibly surprised if it was west lakes.

As incredulous as it would be we’ve seen them sell the farm in the past to prove a point.

I visited the Hawthorn page yesterday, a few there wanted him!

Another Ports player there would be awesome!
