This thread is getting a bit anti-vax style in parts.Does anyone know how Lynch ends up at the tribunal? Is it just deemed serious enough or is it something to do with the ratings?
Its my body, my choice whether McLachlan gets to *smile* my *smile* ?
Lets make footy great again (MFGA)
I can see the similarities for sure

Only the MRO ( Mad Richmond Opposer) knows
Exactly right and that is the logical conclusion to this case. The message is simple......PLAY SOCCER!
We want Voice of the G taken out the back and slapped with a large salmon.
Now here is the actual incident in slow motion. Watch Keefe’s and Lynch’s eyes. Keefe takes his eyes off the ball first. https://streamable.com/t/vzacp3
From any angle at any speed it's utterly baffling and infuriating. They are a bunch of headless chooks.
I’m curious as to why there is so much dislike for Tom Lynch
He’s always polite when interviewed, quite a mild character, doesn't come across as arrogant, I don’t get why he always gets painted as a villain
Sure he left Gold Coast but lots of others have left their respective clubs too
Is it because he chose RFC and had the audacity to win 2 premierships in his first couple of years and because all the “experts” thought he would choose the pies ??
It’s over the top the kind of vitriol that is directed toward him

They hate him because he wears yellow & Black..
Do u think the media wouldve been so soft on Treloar if he chose us. No fken chance.
Hopper was a super star when he was going to Geelong.
But now he is a ok midfielder with poor kicking
Don't know how relevant it is to what you are talking about, but while he was at the Suns I know he was quite unpopular with opposition players due to the things he would say on-field. Lots of the Suns were in the same boat, lacked a bit of wise leadership I suspect.

Its the severe impact bit that takes it to the tribunal.
Davids post was good, but was wrong in that Lynch wasn't charged. He has been charged by the MRO, Careless, Severe impact and head high. That carries a penalty of straight to the tribunal as the penalty should go past what Christian is allowed to dish out (upto 3 weeks).
For some it would be envy; for others it’s just tribal and for those with the least amount of emotional intelligence it’s psychological projection.
If I was a player & thought I couldn't defend myself from heavy contact at the risk of suspension, I'd think about retirement. What a *smile* joke.
Remember this one? The 'bewildering' 'balls-up' (not my words) ?

What is it with Tom?
Is it just coincidence he seems to come under closer scrutiny and be suspended more than other physical old-school KF like Hawkins?
It is bias against him, Richmond, or both?
For me the bias was really underlined in the 20 GF when Selwood rubbed bakes face into the turf, identical to what Tom was cited for previously, and no case to answer. The commentary actually praised Selwood for 'fighting till the end', while for Tom it was 'that will be looked at'. (I didn't like what Tom did, but the point is the bias, not the incident). We all know the media often plays a part and can be the difference between an incident being ignored and becoming news.

Remember after the 2020 Port Adelaide preliminary final a young boy was abusing him from the boundary and he had a drink thrown on him? Lynch handled himself and represented the club magnificently.
"Despite the confronting nature of the incident, Browne reported Lynch wasn’t too perturbed by it.
As Lynch began to walk off the field, he chatted with a young, distraught Power fan that’d just seen his team losing a preliminary final by one goal.
Lynch was seen giving some words of encouragement and a thumbs up before the Port supporter was consoled by a loved one".
