What a coincidence..the 2 players who get off their charges just happen to be Richmond and Carlton players...both appealed at the tribunal and both won and both players hit the heads of their opponents and Lynch left his opponent concussed...where was the 'potential to cause injury' penalty factor there??
My word, its one rule for us and another for the big Vic clubs and all within the very same competition. Said it before and I will say it again, Silvers should be on the phone to Gil giving him the biggest serve over this and making the point that should we get victimised again at the tribunal for stuff they would never wipe out the vic boys for, our legal team will be going the injunction route rather than wasting time at the tribunal
Carlton's Harry McKay and Richmond's Tom Lynch faced the Tribunal on Tuesday night

Lynch gets off as well!
Tom Lynch has also had his case dismissed by the Tribunal.
Chairman Jeff Gleeson said Lynch intended to fly for the mark and once he realised he misjudged it, kept his eyes on the ball and then braced for contact.
"He did not bump and he did not engage in rough conduct," Gleeson said.
Lynch off and McKay off – what a night for the power forwards.
