Sorry but threats to family in Socials is disgraceful.Very Ugly:
Google "Lycett", and there are several articles about Lycett's sling tackle on McHenry + his complaints about being vilified on social media + the AFC response
(https://www.afc.com.au/news/932444/club-statement).
Some of the alleged abuse went so far as to call him "an ugly West Coast reject".
Ouch!
Lycett has commented:
" "Footy is a physical game, but I acknowledge my tackle on Ned McHenry last night overstepped the mark and will be dealt with at the AFL Tribunal," he wrote. "I truly hope he's OK."
"However the abuse that has followed has been outrageous. People should take a breath and reflect before posting."

My two bobs' worth --- and I have reflected, before posting --- I didn't see any apology in there, Scott, or are you waiting for Ned to stop seeing stars so you can apologise face-to-face? You're 203cms and 98Kgs. McHenry 179cms and 73Kgs.
Was it not enough to tackle McHenry, without rag-dolling his scone into the ground? Have any of your teammates been thrown around like that? How'd you feel about that, at the time?
The social media abuse has been 'outrageous'? Sticks and stones, mate. Grow a pair.
The physical abuse you inflicted on McHenry caused actual harm/damage, took him out of the game which you played all of and might have long-term consequences.
Oh, and thank your lucky stars --- on a footy field, what you did might get you a 2-3 match ban. Off the field, your action on McHenry would be considered an assault (well, 'alleged'), with potentially far worse consequences; you weak, bullying, cowardly grub.
At least whoever is sub will get nearly a full game this week. It wouldn't be a showdown without one of our guys getting smashed in the head in the first 20 mins.
Threats to his family? If so, yes, that's disgraceful. Callous and stupid keyboard bravado. Social media has plenty of them, lurking, waiting for some reason to vent their anger, make threats etc, which is partly why I don't do Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat and so on.Sorry but threats to family in Socials is disgraceful.
Lycett had every right to call it out.

Lycett's not responsible for the behaviour and reckless anger of others.
Still, would have been gracious if he'd apologise to Ned, though, don't you think?

I wonder why we put him up to speak, seems like he’s had a bit to deal with as well as not playing over the weekend.Talia on SEN, sad to hear his daughter's in hospital.
The Run Home with Kymbo & the Rooch
Kymbo and the Rooch have got you covered for The Run Home from 3-6PM Monday to Friday on 1629 SEN SA.www.sen.com.au
I'm pretty sure he has a regular spot with them every week after the game.I wonder why we put him up to speak, seems like he’s had a bit to deal with as well as not playing over the weekend.
Ah fair enough thenI'm pretty sure he has a regular spot with them every week after the game.

Fair comments.I'm all for defending our players but this line of reasoning is always a bit strange.
1) It's not like Scott Lycett is going to walk up to Ned in a park while they're both walking their dogs and pile drive him into the ground.
2) It's a footy game, a contact sport, it's a bad act by Lycett, very bad but it's not physical abuse by any stretch of the imagination.
So I can't just go round tackling people to the ground?It's a contact sport.
If you tackled someone fairly and rode them to the ground you'd be done for assault in the general public.
This is what I expect at the first centre bounce of the next Showdown against Lycett
Agree fully about Fogarty . He is the only player that shows intent on hurting opponents in the tackle . Either be the intimidater or get intimidated in this game . We never recruit this type of player . We are the nice boys club.
