If you calm down about the loss and put your club bias aside, think about it more logically.Somewhere between 4-6 weeks he should get, but because Richmond are the pets of the MRP/Tribunal, that sniper will likely only get 1 or 2 weeks.
In real time that they are both chasing a loose ball, which Lynch gathers, and then runs off, and his entire focus at all times is on the loose ball.
He is a big clumsy man, and not the most dexterous, but I don't think accidently pokes in the eye are work 4-6 weeks. That's clearly just carryover rage from the loss.
