MRP / Trib. Tom Lynch -How many?

[PhatBoy]

I think you don't realise how coordinated these guys are. If they want to really knock you out, they will. He even said this immediately after the game. He said his action wasn't intended to hurt him and he didn't. Butts literally wasn't even dazed. He looked more surprised than anything else.

Mate, world champion boxers land full blooded punches that don’t knock people out and concuss people
That’s in an environment where they are putting all they can possibly give, into hurting the bloke right in front of them. That’s it. That’s their aim.

Not just once, but multiple times per fight.

If your argument is ‘these guys are co-ordinated and can hurt people on cue so if they didn’t hurt someone it’s because they deliberately didn’t’ then it’s a pretty piss poor one

Gaff said the same thing, it was an instinctive reaction and he ended up ending Brayshaw's season.
Sorry mate, I don't buy this at all. It's retrospective thinking, not accurate to the event.
Drink the goon all you want, he swung out of frustration without any real thought. He didn't necessarily want to hurt the Butts, but he definitely wasn't thinking "Nah I don't want to hurt him aye, I just want to give myself some space". It was an instinctive reaction borne out of anger and frustration. What would be would be.

Let’s say that’s right.
Severe impact though the guy gets up straight away laughing.
People acting like it was attempted murder, coward punch FMD
I’ve copped bigger hits off a drunken hooker

 

[SuperFastMonk]

You don’t swing haymakers if you don’t mean it. Nit buying for one second there wasn’t clear intent, probably didn’t want to clock the bloke but there were other ways to get him off you rather than throw haymakers. Not a surprise he’s rightfully been sent to the tribunal

There's a reason he didn't close fist it

We all know he’s dumb doesn’t make the action better.

Funnily enough - not really funny - if you have the same hit to a drunken hooker you’d be charged

Ive seen this video so many times and can't tell if his fist is open or closed....is there other footage that i havent seen?

Lynch has been suspended for a total of two weeks in his whole career so that good record should count for something.

Your fellow Tiger fans were calling Ginbey on Lalor "attempted murder", so you can't sook when your own bollocks is thrown back at you.

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

We should let Tom Stewart sort him out.

The good bloke clause

 

[smasha]

If I was Richmond Supporter I'd be hoping they give him life.

Didn't even SNIFF the ball in the first half against Adelaide.
I did more for Richmond that Tommy Lynch did and I was sitting at home playing Nintenda Switch.

But was a major factor in us winning the flags in 2019 and 2020.

Didn’t count for others they have removed this so called Charlie Cameron excuse anyway

Surely years in prison is the only just punishment!

It was a coward punch though. That’s exactly what it was. Just like Gaff to Brayshaw and Hall to Staker. Butts wasn’t looking nor expected it.

Severe impact isn’t correct, but they change it to potential for severe impact. Outcome is the same.

World champion boxers don't use an open hand for one thing.....

 

[SuperFastMonk]

People will ignore Walker's punch to the back of Ralphsmith's head while still saying Lynch had the potential to cause serious injury for a strike with his hand.

McCartin got 4 weeks for full force punching someone in the jaw and knocking them out in the VFL a few years ago. Sonsie got 3 weeks for a similar thing to Lynch just last year. Nash got 4 weels for a strike on Miers that knocked him unconscious. They found he didn't intend to. Lynch did but was a low impact.

What Lynch did was a terrible look (open hand haymaker that hit shoulder then head, low impact), but despite people's outrage, you should not penalise players with a more severe sentence because something looks bad or an example needs to be made. You penalise based on what happened.

For a little slap that did not hit the target,LIFE and throw away the key!!!

Right. So you felt the same about his 6 seasons of 0 suspensions and reports when you wanted Tom Stewart jailed for an in-play act?

Yep and what he did was not acceptable. In no reasonable terms was Butts expecting that.

 

[PhatBoy]

They use 12oz padded gloves. They can still kill a man or break their jaw or nose or eye socket

The lunacy of your argument is astounding.

Lols 2019 ....Richmond AFLW would've beaten GWS

That's why he will get suspended, but it should not be 5+ that's for sure. And it's a joke that Walker didn't even get fined.

We good!
