I wish we had the on field talent and sheer balls in admin of GR to vow to the win the flag from here and pull it off. 74 anyone?
Weve got more on field talent than anyone.
The stage is set for another us against the world premiership
Its gonna be great fun.
Same rubbish we're copping now for Taz and Hop. Long term contracts that have failed before they started as these morons look at it. When Tom started, a million annoying questions on how could he cope with Jack...which succeeded, and now after just 4 f*cking games, Taz and Hop are a failure. Add the 3 flags, 2 for Lynch = jealousy!
I don’t know how they can arrive at a charge if they follow their own rule book.
Given the charge was rough conduct, they cannot apply Careless conduct according to the following:
The incident meets both criteria of the exceptions I would have thought.
Should be easy to get the decision overturned, but we’ll wait and see
You know there’s corruption when this is the AFL’s lawyer and lynch still gets convicted
It does appear like a bit of a conspiracy conference, but the emphasis on preventing concussion has taken over to the extent that even if they lose the AFL will come out of it smelling like roses.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?
However Gil and his cohorts actually have a larger concern, which is about their wish for a don't rock the boat appointment to succeed him as CEO. On this they certainly don't want an outsider getting control with the authority to review present practises and introduce change. The possible appointment of B Gale to that role keeps them awake.
Here the prosecution of Lynch will allow them a win win. Lynch goes down and he together with Dimma, and the Richmond brand suffers as a result with certain within the press going on with an anti Tiger message until the next similar opportunity arises.
Should they fail before the Tribunal they can have their media favourites continue with an anti Richmond theme and allege the Club and its leadership by calling witnesses and relying on old cases, have refused to cooperate with the need to identify and react to what is now known about the condition. (Mince and Robbo's show, the perfect vehicle).
The transition to a new CEO will ultimately depend of the support of the Clubs. Anything which has the potential to detract from the idea that an outsider, specifically B Gale, should take over, - will find favour. The stakes are very high. Anything is possible. I don't know how it will turn out but I do believe that this charge should not have been brought.
We need to ease up on the conspiracy side of things because it just weakens the argument. Some supporters on social media are getting a bit ridiculous with it and so when they complain they look like Donald Trump.

I have said a lot on this already but when I saw the witherdon incident from last week which wasn’t cited then the credibility of the system has to be drawn into question.
I don't think I said he wasn't charged, I said he hasn't yet been tried and therefore should not be considered guilty until the case has been heard. Or is he unable to plead not guilty?
But the main question remains - which of the reportable offences has he been charged with? It wasn't a strike, no kneeing involved, if a player was charging it was Keath etc. Rough Conduct is the only possible charge and that is extremely dubious at best. They can claim head high contact but which if the reportable offences has Lynch apparently committed? I can't find that anywhere, let alone the AFL site's report.
In order to be suspended Lynch must have committed one of the offences as specified in the rules, otherwise there is no case to answer.

While I agree with your interpretation above, where is this written, it sure isn't in the rules of the game as published here: https://aflua.com.au/laws/
Momentai, have they appointed anyone from outside V/AFL House since Alan Aylett? He was replaced by Jack Hamilton who was in the administration when Aylett was head of the VFL. Next, Ross Oakley and Wayne Jackson, not sure where they came from. But Demetriou and McLachlan both came from head office. Time for a different appointment I reckon.

Yea was just thinking about that , it grates me he has this reputation that he’s some thug like rhy jones or Matthews worst he’s done is rub an oppo face into the ground , we’ll roll me in honey and feed me to the ant eaters , he’s public enemy no1
Frockers bloke was airborne going for the mark n dropped his hands at the last moment to mitigate contact with the Wet Coke bloke. Lynchman went about it the other way, pulled out of the marking contest n braced for incoming. Much as I hate to say it, the way the game is adjudicated these days Lynchy's 90% to go three or four weeks.
Not intended to suggest a conspiracy Sin.
Just suggesting that what is happening to Lynchy is likely to impact elsewhere.
Why that is the case and why the case has been brought is an unknown.
Not to my knowledge. And look what they got with Aylett. A colossus if you like.
The place needs a new view and I hope the clubs see that.
