MRP / Trib. Lynch To Tribunal

[_RT_]

Not that it matters as he'll miss 2 months, but sent straight to the tribunal.

Shouldn’t even bother turning up.

You've got to be kidding me.

 

[Barnzy]

Lol I legit would tell them to get ****ed and just don't even offer up a case for eyes on the ball in a marking contest

Not worth the time and effort to fight. Give a quick prepared statement and move on

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Looking forward to players doing something similar getting the same treatment for the rest of the year

...

the circus continues

 

[Muddiemoose]

Hope they give him 6 weeks so that they will need to do the same for every other similar incident that ever occurs

 

[DeseRigs]

This is genuinely baffling.

 

[French Tiger]

Ha ha this is one of the most ridiculous things ever. Seriously that is a shocking decision

Precedent and AFL. 2 words never used together

the AFL is in real trouble as a sport here. A player going for a marking contest and bracing for contact coming the other way is sent to Tribunal for suspension… bye bye to marking contests. the disciplinary system is totally rudderless… what a farking joke

For those suggesting that what Lynch did was fair, IMO it's no different to Cameron doing this in 2018, except that Lynch didn't have the long run up, however he did opt to make contact with the opponent rather than contest the mark. Had Lynch put his hands up and at least contest the mark there wouldn't be an issue, but when you elect to make contact with the opponent and not contest the footy, you're always going to be in trouble.

surely Christian is taking the p1ss. He is a frigging

 

[Barnzy]

This flog is loving it. His hit piece worked

 

[tunksy]

This sport is getting ridiculous

 

[chriso11]

I wonder what part of the decision to send Lynch was driven by his constant character assassinstion in the media and by the AFL’s desire to shove it up Dimma. Got nothing to do with the incident

In a few days we are going to be lining up that video of Lynch's "bump" (which it wasn't) and compare it to Kosi Picketts from Round 1 as it appears the AFL think Lynch's action is way more damaging than that of Pickett (being as he wasn't even sent to the tribunal).

How weak of Christian to record that this is a worse incident than what Pickett did. They set the precedent in Round 1, then clearly go away from it. Clearly it appears 4 rounds in that Melbourne were looked after massively with that "penalty" to Pickett. Joke.

He’s a dumb campaigner

Lynch should ask for an extra week just for the lols

So he's not allowed to brace for contact to protect his ribs, from a player coming back into a contest?? He saw him coming at the last minute and he had 2 choices, brace for contact and protect yourself, or leave yourself wide open for a bunch of broken ribs.

That this is even being considered as a "severe" incident is a massive joke in itself.

BTW I don't see how it is comparable with that of Cameron. If Cameron had continued with contesting the mark, Andrews would have just ran past him and there would have been incidental contact, Keath was moving INTO not across the marking contact. Cameron had nothing to protect, Lynch did.

 

[tiggywigs]

I've looked at the replay numerous times.
I don't get it.
His eyes are clearly on the ball until the last moment when he turns to brace for impact.
What has he done wrong?

* THE AFL

You know it's a complete shitshow when the main board doesn't even have a thread on a Richmond incident.

Gee wiz,
Brisbane players remonstrated.
Footscrays didn't . What does that tell you?
Also what was lynchs intent?

He was out for BLOOD. Haven't you seen the zoomed in, 3 angles of footage in slow motion in 4K????
