MRP / Trib. Tom Lynch -How many?

[Strange Cat]

Under the matrix they use, it is plausibe.
Deliberate, high, but what is the severity of the impact. If its deemed medium level impact, its two weeks.

imo, it shows the limitations of the current classifications. Something like that should be graded separately from things like dangerous tackles that are an unfortunate part of play.

Anywhere 6-8 is probably fair, but won't be likely. Possible if straight to tribunal as severe impact or other reasons.

Yeah that’s a fair point , the impact and any concussion if any will play more towards the punishment than the act itself

It really needs to change

 

[Skeppersap]

I wonder if he will get any for the kick in the head as well, especially when considering all his other incidents?

If it’s referred straight to the tribunal they can assign however many games they see fit, without needing to abide by a matrix.

They have the ability to send any charge directly to the tribunal if the matrix returns an unjust outcome.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

6 weeks.

I just think it's funny that it was Jordan Butts that broke him mentally. He'd be our 4th best KPD.

 

[juss]

I reckon it'll be 4-5

He's pretty much finished anyway, atm he's just a shield for the other KPFs in their first year.

 

[amazingjoshy]

The fact he can't actually throw a punch shouldn't save him from the fact he tried to knock a bloke out

What a flog, always has been

 

[Altum Volantes]

T Lynch will probably get 4 weeks but IMO should get a few more. 6 at least

Like father, like son.

 

[RCAB]

What kind of message does this send to all the lower levels if a deliberate roundhouse punch doesn't get 10 weeks? These things can kill.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

What's your beef Anzacpaul? What part of that isn't true?

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Might as well just retire now.

 

[RCAB]

Equally extraordinary justification getting his coach Adam Yze:

"In the moment, as a coach, you're disappointed. Because a few of them, we had possession and we were out and we're finally looking like we're going to execute, and his frustration spills over.

But in saying that, we're going to seek clarification on the marking contests, because he's such a big man, and they do scrag him, and he's feeling like he's getting held. Then he doesn't, and the ball goes down the other end and we give away three free kicks in aerial contests, in one passage of play."


Should we be shocked? They have a equally disgusting POS in Balta still playing. Joke of a club defending these criminals.

If you saw the game you wouldn't be shocked at all. Umpiring of Lynch was very inconsistent.

Saw it, nothing that other forwards don't get on a regular basis. Lynch actually backs into his defenders often looking to wrestle.

Telling that you're justifying assault even if he was hard done by.


Jon Ralph and Jhye Clarke want 4 weeks for this. What a joke.

 

[ReturningHawk]

A front on hit, that caused a concussion is worse, surely.

Miers had the ball mate. Lynch is up shit creek with no paddle and a bad reputation.

 

[FreddyTwoShoes]

This is the sort of deplorable dog act that needs to be punished severely. There’s no place for this in our game.

6+ at least please.

Apologies to actual canine dogs. You are all honourable and worthy creatures.

 

[frggr]

T Lynch will probably get 4 weeks but IMO should get a few more. 6 at least

Funnily enough Wakelin was being interviewed on SEN this morning and that match (obviously) came up

 

[frggr]

6 weeks.

Lynchy gets angry when he's forced to think about butts

Plenty of forwards don't receive Charlie Curnow level umpiring but none of them recently have reacted the way Lynch did.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Probably 6 weeks, although who knows. Depends what club you play for really, and Richmond aren’t at the pointy end of the ladder. If you’re the team on top, 0 weeks, down the bottom 6. The system is cooked.

Very simplistic, erroneous explanation, and totally without any basis. Perhaps think a bit harder before making nonsensical assertions which you cannot prove.

After your numerous deplorable posts advocating violence in the Suns/Demons match day thread, and other threads, you have zero credibility when commenting on such issues.

 

[TY24]

If you saw the game you wouldn't be shocked at all. Umpiring of Lynch was very inconsistent.

I watched Josh Kennedy get manhandled for 14 years and never once saw him throw a haymaker at a defender.

Stop defending the coward.

 

[74561347]

I’d suggest longest in history. Punching someone in the back of the head is what kills people…

12 weeks for me

12 weeks would still be 87 weeks less than the longest suspension in history

 

[Capt Haddock]

Is this for the kick to the head or the coward punch?

Please. Go and read the Richmond board, it’s very enlightening. If you do you’ll learn that this was all the fault of:

1) the AFL
2) the umpires - over his whole career
3) Craig McRae

It was absolutely not the fault of:

1) Tom Lynch

Pointing out the umpiring was Poor isn't justifying anything. Players need to control their emotions far better than that. He'll get his whack which he deserves, which has been a long time coming.

But just because Lynch did a bad thing doesn't mean the Umpires don't deserve their own scrutiny.
