MRP / Trib. Tom Lynch -How many?

[Cyclonus]

If Tex had swung a haymaker and connected with a Richmond player I'd want him suspended for 6 or more.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

If Gary Lyonns opinion is followed Jordan Butts will likely get 2 weeks for head butting Lynch’s fist

Well Butts did interfere with him first.

 

[Ian Dunross]

The bottom line is that if umpires don't protect players this sort of thing can happen.

You're right, how dare Jordan Butts defend his opponent, he was asking to be king hit off the ball

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It will be straight to the tribunal there is the capacity for them to upgrade on 'potential to cause injury'. You'd think it lands somewhere between the 4-7 range depending on priors, think 5 is about bang on.

 

[JackFlash]

I understand the frustration, but in the "woke" world of AFL he must surely cop 8 weeks?...

 

[Crow54]

I think Lynch should get a week but we have to be carefull not to throw the baby out with the bath water.

You should apply for a job in the Trump admin as a White House Press Secretary. You'd fit in well.

 

[HeHateMe]

Will be more than 4 at least you'd think. How many more may depend on if their is any concussion.

Aristotle Pickett what's funny about this comment.

Jon Ralph writing this morning 4 or more as well in the Herald Sun.

Doubt he gets 8 not unless he has a bunch of priors and having not followed Richmond not sure there, it wasn't Big Bad Bally Hall style lol

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

All you people saying 4 to 8 weeks are dreaming, he hardly made contact.
He should get one week for attempting to strike, the Adelaide playa was totally fine.
Maybe save the 4 to 8 week suspensions for players that concuss other players.

Most sane people know it's 4+, I mean Curtis got 3 weeks for a tackle for goodness sakes.

I'm genuinely curious that in your mind if the AFL wasn't "woke" as you described it, how many weeks should he get then?

There was no concussion or a hint of concussion. Jon Ralph is a clickbait Murdoch tossbag.

They can upgrade it on potential to cause injury anyway, concussion or not there was a high degree of potential to cause injury. It will be referred to the tribunal, that's the safe bet. Then Lynch and Richmond can present a case.

 

[RCAB]

Is Lynch reported for kicking?
Ginbey broke a guys jaw and nose, Lynch slapped a man . The player didn't get a concussion test because he was slapped not punched.
You can give Lynch 1 week for optics if you want.

I love to see someone roundhouse you in the head and see how you'd react.

 

[Cookie]

It's more of a Geelong thing with Tom Stewart and Tom Hawkins.

You might be onto something there.

Yeah i feel the Nash hit is the extreme case for the footy incidents. He got 4 although stupid it was still a play on the footy.

Ones like these where the intent is clearly to strike at the head should start just after the footballing suspensions.

Butts lucky he's not coordinated like Barry.

Thankfully for Butts it wasn't serious.

Kane Corn is a bully who wears women's underpants.

So you're a misogynist now too?

 

[SplintWhisky]

Under the grading it would be straight to tribunal. The AFL wants to be big on concussion but they get stuck in the morning spending 40 minutes trying to figure out which is the 'Left Sock'.

It will be 4 weeks because "potential to cause injury" only seems to exist for legal tackles. Should be around 5 to 6 because it was and actual swinging punch motion.

Yeah and Nash I feel was VERY lucky, I love Connor as a player but that was beyond ridiculous that didn't end in the 5-7 range. Now they have cornered themselves for this one, but it's clear as day this will be referred so thats a 4+ trigger with a strike

 

[RCAB]

Let that Richmond hate flow through you my boy!

 

[frggr]

He has stacks of priors but the AFL kept letting him off. He punched Sam Collins 100m off the ball then defended himself by saying he was pushing off his opponent

The AFL bought it

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Not at all, just a Kane Cornes hater. I'm like Shaq O'Neil- I don't like bullies.

Nah, he is saying Kane is. Wears them like battle trophies.

Unless they wear a Richmond jumper
