I'm in the camp he needs to pull his head in. Focus aggression towards the ball and in play. Not making out his gunna hit someone, jumper tugging schoolyard push and shove antics. He should be a leader but let's himself down. Plenty out there including tiger supporters who feel the same.

Relax jack.
Have a good look.
Collins spent all night going for lynch's ribs but as soon as lynch fires back.
He becomes the villain. Give me a break.
What were the umpires doing?
Collins held him all night.
Hit jack in the face coming from the front, but like the usual NO free kicks.
The punch that put Big sooky lala Collins down was the right upper cut by Farts.

But news About Arts hitting Collins dosent make the back page.
Then lets go with lynch.
The punch, where he ran 10.metres without any issue.

Don't believe everything you hear.
What was Dixon doing to Balta the week before?
The hate squad are all up in arm's about something that happens 10 times a week.

Robinson was in the tip 5 years ago.
They reckon he has turned his career around.
All i see is the same dumb *smile* kicker that played at Carlton.

Hope Lynch just gives it the complete 'no comment' and let's his footy speak for him for the rest of the year.
Would love to know what Fagan REALLY says to Robinson. .... coaches hate giving the opposition absolutely anything,

Next time we play them, just put $50 on lynch kicking 5
And run a double with us winning more then 21+
Fagan can stick that stat up his clacker

He is trying to get under his opponents skin, he obviously did a good job of it. It's called being competitive, something you've admitted you are not good at. Saying he acted like a *smile* is uncalled for and just shows you aren't really appreciating the full context of what Lynch has been subjected to and what he is doing on the field to get the Tigers over the line.

Exactly, well-said. It's not schoolboy football out there. I can't go searching atm but it would be interesting to compare how many frees the big forwards have received so far this season; across all teams; and compared to the key defenders. Doubt ours have received a heap.

Others being dicks is equally as bad. I prefer the Dylan Grimes type, nice guy, never seen him fake punch anyone, but he'll run through whoever gets in between him and the ball. Now that's a tough player.

Grimes has been suspended for elbowing a guy in the head. And he collected Cox and was fined a few games ago for another stray elbow. Not sure Lynch has been in trouble twice for stray elbows?

We don't get any.
Roughead cops off lynch's arm. Play on.
Jack is hit head on by Collins, play on.
Jack gets held, play on.
Lynch gets blocked, play on.
Essendon are as bad at getting free kicks as us.
So lets see what happens on satedey night.

really pleased with Campbell Browns words ...
not only condemning 'Ugly' Robinson, but acknowledging how we're smart enough to use it as motivation ..

Kind of surprised at this stance coming from you. Obviously Tom is simply fooling around with Collins here. Remember, Tom claimed an open-handed whack to the guts; it may not have been but I, for one, cannot detect what the state of his hand is for the blow. But, crucially, Collins did NOT go down then but, in fact, ran after him quite capably until his encounter with Aarts. Then he dropped like the proverbial. So was it the ferocious blow from Aarts? Or did Collins go to ground after Lynch had clearly got away to mark? Seeking a free, trying to justify it to his team/coach? Who knows except him?

As i said in one of my prior posts, Collins has got away with at least 3 similar gut-punches from behind on Tom Lynch plus the high hit on JR8. Why no focus on them I wonder?

I am puzzled by the naivety of some on here that seem just so remiss in what is going on between players on the field. The off-the-ball tugs, shoves, sly punches long before the ball arrives, but especially the attempted clever (because the art is to make it all look so incidental or at least the good ones) blocks to keep a top player from approaching the ball by using the outnumber. This is a major strategy used on the key forwards. Jack and Tom are copping a heap of this this year especially with the use of flooding to stop our attack.

As another poster reported - one who attended the game live - Collins niggled TL all game. Please wake up to reality here.
Tom deserved his fine and has copped it. Collins has escaped any scrutiny as if he is an innocent choir-boy. Witts charged in to wave the flag but was allowed off scott-free too. So certain blows are expensive; others are free hits.

Tell me again - which club is the frustrating, under-performing but incredibly indulged love-child?

PS - came back to add. If you want to see someone 'acting like a *smile*', go find the footage of Collins post-game. If his on-field behaviour gets a tick from you, watch him slam his arm into a padded concrete pillar in the rooms. I have admired the guy for finally making it back to AFL level and for how well he played this year. But I now wonder about his troubled previous career and mental health. Could easily have damaged his arm. Dew had to leave his player-meeting (which SC had absented himself from to have this puerile tantrum) and come out to soothe, calm and collect him. Like I said ...

i have watched Lynch get molested with blocks, grabbing, scragging, checks all game many many times - gotta be there live to see it though.

Does everyone with an opinion here go to the games?

All this stuff about backman niggling forwards is just nonsense.

Every forward and midfielder in the competition deals with the same. There's a massive difference between the way a Charlie Dixon handles it compared to what Lynch has been doing.

As for Robinson he's a complete and utter moron. The point most people seem to be missing though is that he is to off the field what Lynch is being on the field.

I assume you go to games? Just asking

The reaction to Collins post game tanty is also interesting. The same people who castigated Goddard for spitting the dummy are saying that Collins actions show passion and should be applauded.
