Re-read my comment before that one and maybe you'll see why not. Maybe Walker should get 4 then

Tom Stewart gave someone a severe concussion though.

That was before all the facts came out and yes I was wrong about that.

Tom Stewart rightly got suspended but also had the understandable defence to at least mitigate the suspension to what it ended up being, that his action, reckless and dangerous though it was, was in play and not a decision to do something completely designed to vent his frustration, and your point was related to cleanliness of record.
I’ll repeat: did his hitherto spotless record stop you and your ilk calling for him to be essentially hanged and have his head displayed on London Bridge to serve as a warning to any other player who dared get an aggressive action wrong.
Why should Lynch’s reasonable record be used as an excuse now. You want people to adopt a soft stance on him for a lack of indiscretions but you’ve not done that before.
Because it's a Richmond player
The hypocrisy is staggering
Both players did the wrong thing

That's because they actually have a clenched fist under that glove or are you so daft you don't realise that?
Tom Stewart's action was not was NOT in play. It was after the ball had passed and Stewart knew that but still took him out.

Do they? Wow, that’s incredible. I had no idea.
Next you’ll tell me that a 2m tall power forward swinging a full blooded strike wouldn’t have the capacity to smash someone’s nose or eye socket to pieces if they connected with their palm or their wrist.
F**k me dead

I bet that ball took like, 3 minutes to get to where it did in that still shot
Hang on, it didn’t. He had the time it took for the ball to leave Prestia’s slap of the ball, to when that still is paused, for it to be ‘not in play’ having charged from defence towards the ball.
You cannot make up how stupid you are to try and say the two incidents are the same
Go on. Show the video now so everyone can see that yes, Stewart deserved every week of his suspension, but that it was an in-play act that was f**ked up.
Edit:
F**k it I’ll just do it myself
If you don't understand the difference between an open hand and a fist and the damage each can do then you, you need to go study basic combat a little bit more. Just like you should study your definitions of what "in play" where your obvious bias makes you look like a dickhead.Do they? Wow, that’s incredible. I had no idea.

If you don’t understand how much damage swinging a full blooded shot to the face can do if you connect with the ‘heel’ of your hand, or your wrist, to the wrong part of the victim, you’re either being deliberately stupid to try and defend the indefensible, or you’re just plain dumb.
And watch the video above mate.

The hit on Ralphsmith 14:37 left in the 4th quarter

Are you saying Stewart did not know Prestia had not got rid of the ball? That's the only way it can be really "in play". Of course he knew he had palmed it away and that Prestia was no longer part of the chain of possession, but he still took him out. From memory for this terrible act he got 4 weeks. Prestia was dazed for several days. Now you are indicating Lynch should get even MORE for an open hand that did NO DAMAGE. That is truly ridiculous.
Another stupid post because Tom Lynch did NOT hit him in the face with his open hand. It hit him in the upper back and neck that then slipped onto the back of his head. So why even mention an open hand to the face when it didn't even occur?

Has to be 8.
Commentators are always going on about when something is a "football act".
Well in this case it had absolutely nothing to do with the game itself. Was way outside of a football act or a normal part of the game.
It's a genuine criminal assault. Has to be 8.
Also the media have been at pains to say what a great bloke Tom is off the field and he just has "white line fever".
I saw him at a bar one night and he was a campaigner
So not sure about this "great bloke" crap the Melbourne nuffy AFL media are trying to peddle.

Eight weeks? LMAO. An open hand to the upper back and neck that slipped on to his head and that Butts just got straight back up from is totally and utterly ridiculous. They have been punishing everyone this year on outcome and now when there is no outcome they want to punish him on how it looked! Where the hell is the consistency in the tribunal?

No, I’m saying he lined him/the ball up thinking Prestia would take possession of it. Prestia didn’t, he got it badly wrong, smashed him high, and got rubbed out for a month, rightly so.
Your varnish drinking friends equated it to murder, thinking there was some sort of intent before the game started to decapitate Dion Prestia. As though he was the second coming of Ron Barassi or something. It wasn’t. It was an act of attempted in game aggression that went wrong. No different to dozens of other suspendible actions. Heavy tackles or bumps or whatever. They are calculated risks players take to commit a footballing act, that they f**k up, and they pay the price.
You’re defending someone who’s gone ‘I’m just going to whack this bloke in the head for no other reason than he’s holding me and I can’t get a kick’ on the basis that it could have done serious damage but through absolutely nothing but pure luck, it didn’t. Even though he has quite literally struck him in the head. Players have been suspended for as long as I have been watching the game for striking, ALL other parts of the body, and doing no damage at all. And you’re saying because he hasn’t injured him, this is no big deal.

You’ve just tried to say that it’s not going to hurt anyone because it’s an open hand but now you’re what, saying that it could hurt someone, but didn’t? I’m confused - what’s your stance on this now?
I see what I’m dealing with here. You’re not stupid, you just have bad luck thinking.
