MRP / Trib. Tom Lynch -How many?

[RAPPA]

How many brain cells? None whatsoever

 

[ReturningHawk]

Can’t help but feel the AFL will get this wrong. A round arm to the head, off the ball.. has to be 6 weeks as a starting point.

 

[Cleric]

If the AFL is serious about sending the right message to the lower leagues and kids, has to be a big one. 6-8 weeks one would think.
The AFL wants to get legal bumps and tackles that cause head damage out of the game, but king hits is another level. We haven't seen someone lose their shit like this for many a year.

 

[Wojcinski]

8 weeks. Tom Lynch has always been a coward and this confirms it. Dog shot to the back of someones head because he was getting owned on the field. Very Richmondy

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Was worse than Nash and nash got 4

 

[StillAtLarge]

Mitch Cleary interviewed him after the game, clearly the bloke isn't all there

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

5 weeks + curfew

 

[Atomboy]

8 weeks. Tom Lynch has always been a coward and this confirms it. Dog shot to the back of someones head because he was getting owned on the field. Very Richmondy

Isn’t this why we have a red card ?.

Cowardly flog should have been sent off for a quarter.

He’s always been a gutless sniper.

 

[Toump Ass]

Jeez, don't see that very often in AFL football!!!!

Just wound up and tried to snot a bloke.
Big old-fashioned HAYMAKER!!!

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

if curtis gets 3 for a perfect tackle, that’s at least 6.

forget richmond’s afl team make a new boxing team
balta and lynch now

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

5 weeks

 

[NewkTheLot]

That he can’t land a punch like Barry Hall on Staker is down to sheer dumb luck.

When we’re in a world where a tackle that goes slightly wrong is 3, that is 6 weeks bare minimum

 

[JP Sauce]

Baz got 7 in 2008. This one should get more, given the AFL cares about knocks to the head now.

This was an intentional as Baz on Staker. Butts is just lucky Lynch can't throw a punch.

 

[PhatBoy]

Look he honestly should get off. Hes the only forward that’s ever been hassled by opponents so he has a right to smack blokes in the head and if he was given the free kicks he deserves, he would have broken Lockett’s goalkicking record.

That’s the mail I’m getting anyway

 

[Underarm]

Was worse than Nash and nash got 4

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

 

[Cool Kangas]

If PC gets 3 for a tackle then logic would say a deliberate hit has to be more?

 

[Strange Cat]

Back of the head ?

Needs 6 weeks absolutely a dog act and give the large media presence around coward hits the AFL needs to take it seriously

Can’t wait for this dog to retire

 

[Fitzey]

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.

 

[Wojcinski]

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

Nash was stupid but he was at least trying to make a play on the ball. Lynch decked a bloke off the ball. Its worse even if the outcome to the player isn't

 

[Mitchell Madness]

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

A punch to the back of someone's head is far worse than a hit on the ball carrier in the contest

 

[VL3OJ]

Lynch should be suspended until the Metro Tunnel and Westgate Tunnel are both open to the public.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Theo dropkick on ch7 saying 2 weeks. What a clown .

Roundhouse, back of head, off the ball.

If you get 3 for a tackle this is 4 plus

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.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Lynch is shifty campaigner
14 weeks

 

[_Mike_]

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

Shades of A Lynch swinging haymakers on Wakelin in the 04 GF

 

[StillAtLarge]

Isn't Lynch a toff from sorrento? Perhaps they should sentence him to live in st albans for a year
