It's a false equivalence, but neither should go to the tribunal IMO. Dixon got fined for what he did which was about right IMO.
The MRP is a shyte-show, and always has been.

No coincidence that stagerfield and his flopper teammates never get pulled up
SHocking is just a Gill puppet. The cant hates us as he knows Benny will get his job soon. Dill is a political animal hence the prolonged hatchet job. People like him are cancers in organisation. He needs to be cut out and soon.
What a surprise that Parrot and Lloyd are the ones pushing that it must be looked at, could be a fine or lead to a suspension. Watch Lloyd blink, look guilty, when Hurley punching his hand is pointed out, then says that is misleading. Flog.
They quickly skipped over Hawkins reference, nothing about Carlisle fine for hitting Rampe's hand. Was Dixon's offence even mentioned.
At least Cornes calls it out for the crock that it is.

Has always been a RFC hater but reckon he’s turned it up to 11 ever since Rance and Shedda mocked him on The Footy Show’s Gogglebox segment.
What a difference a year (or 2) makes!..... maybe Tom should get a ponytail or be in the running for a brownlow .... or both!

Still actually can't work out what he actually did wrong that doesn't happen in a game all the time. The one where he pushed the young Lions head into the ground was way worse.
And if anyone chooses to ignore this, then your head is well and truly buried in the sand.
Its an actual rule and all players should know about it. It gets paid a few times a year.
Luke McGuane did it once at Geelong after the ball had gone through for a goal. Free kick in the goal square and a second goal.

Let's lok at the last 3 charges on Tom Lynch
The first, a "Strike" on Witts after Witts comes in on Tom Lynch who is remostrating with Collins who'd just punched him to the guts.
No mention of the strike by Collins that had probably 5 times the force Lynch's strike had on that same player.
As for the strike on Witts, to be honest, i'm struggling to even see which action was considered a strike, andwhether any of Lynch's actions on Witts had more force than what Witts did to Lynch.
The strike on Collins looked more like a pushing action as Lynch leavered off him to get a break on the lead.
The strike on Hurley was a pushing action after a real strike was thrown into Lynch's broken hand.
So i guess my question is:
1 - Where is the striking offence against Collins (3rd qtr)
2 - Where is the striking offence agaisnt Hurley, after all we were stamping this action of targeting injuries from the game a few weeks back.
3 - In light of the staging fines we've just copped, where is Collins fine for the biggest staging act this decade?
My advice to Collins is that if that Tom Lynch action caused that much physical distress, give up the game of football before a stiff breeze causes your fragile frame to bust under it's own weight and fall down like a pack of cards.
Lastly, where is the psychologist to consult Collins who, judging by post game footage, has some serious mental issues that need to be dealt with.
I'm seriously sick of all of this media crap revolving around our club. It just shows where Australian journalism has got too, where journalists not just in the sporting sphere but also in politics have become no more than an activist group. They've turned a job where good research was key, into the easiest gig in the world. Trawl social media, beat it like an egg, and go to print.

This is a determined effort by certain sections of the media to affect the Tigers. It should be treated as such. If only we had a cheerleader out there who would call this out as BS.
