Yep he's doing silly things to bring unwarranted attention on himself.
The media BS has to be wearing thin with the players to a degree.

Why should he, plenty of others get away with it constantly.
In any case, they have been building up the Geelong Collingwood game as the game of the century so the short attention span of the media will likely kick in tomorrow and they will be going on about how whoever wins out of Geelong and Collingwood is the unbackable flag favourite.

Why should he? You saw the reason tonight - commentators and media jump all over it. It will be all over social media all week.
If you don't care about that, fine. Don't complain when the football industry makes a big deal out of it.
Bit of a joke all the media scrutiny on Lynch, they've been looking for any angle they possibly can to hang him this year.
Plugger & Ablett used to annihilate anybody that stood in their way and it was praised as a manly act.
Oh how they laughed at the poor defender that got deliberately laid out, how dare they fill the hole.
But Tom nearly puts half his weight on their shoulder and all of a sudden it's a dog act.
Dermie (Reported 15 times, suspended for 30 games, deliberately stood on a man's face) mentioned there's no room in the modern game for this.
I love Tom's aggression, he doesn't take your *smile* and yeah he will retaliate.
He might give a free kick away or 50, but he'll probably win the game too.
Outstanding game tonight, could've had 5. Dead set champion

If it's not Lynch it will be something else. Like the Chol/Vlastuin incident which has been repeated since a number of times at other clubs but hardly newsworthy it seems. Maybe because they couldn't put a non-existent racial slur I to it.
I say just keep doing what we're doing and let others be distracted by the noise. Push the boundaries just don't go too far. Hardwick seems to be on board with that approach if his presser was anything to go by.
There seems a concerted effort to bring the Tigers down. It's called hate of sustained success, tall poppy syndrome, alive and well in the Australian media. Bring it on.
Wish he hadn't done the knee thing. Now we're going to hear about it all week. At the same time, getting a week for that would be a disgrace. Surely not.
Great game by Tom though, despite the set shots. I'm glad the toughest forward in the game plays for us.

I like what he did for the prestia goal.
Media focusing on him this good takes the focus of the fact we have a ruck problem... far out kebabgate
Lynch will have to take one for the team and distract attention from Cotchin, whose reckless tackle is far closer to a sanction IMO. There’s even a picture around where Cotchin appears to be gouging Jones - probably an illusion, but I think the media could do some damage if they choose.
But there’s no force with the knee. Howard doesn’t even appear to notice. It’s a complete beat-up.
Footy media has had an absolute shocker this year. Will be switching off again after tonight’s game.
