Lynch !!

Spot on Ezy. He was showing off and running like a headless chook with no awareness. Even hurt himself. FINE!!!
Take your point. They’re usually pretty pragmatic about football but for some reason Lynch triggers a lot of opposition supporters. I think we probably view Hawkins similarly. All we want is consistency as you say.
It's a total frame up.
The whole incident is being framed as Tommy's BUMP!
No other interpretation of this incident is being allowed, permitted, examined, entertained, thrown up! (what attempt at mark?!)
Tommy is totally at fault, cos it's Tommy's BUMP!
No examination of the oppo's stupidity/illegality/dumbness of action in causing/contributing to said collision, nix, nada, zilch!
The oppo is the total victim here, as pure as the driven snow, buried unconscious in the turf!
Tommy's entitlement to protect hisself in a physical game is totally ignored, diminished, belittled, questioned, his priors prove it!
Out comes the biased media/afl with the crucifixion, firing squad, guillotine, goal, cos they are right!
RFC need to get the Advocates, Lawyers, Solicitors and Baristas out for this one and fight it!
Fight this nonsense whilst Crapps *Brownlow* (and pick and choosy with no consistency) is still tainting the air at AFL HQ's!
Agree. RFC should lawyer up and fight this with everything we have. It is trial by media of a hard but fair footballer who is maligned by opposition supporters because he plays tough footy for a club they love to hate. He did nothing wrong.
The ‘he deserves it’ cause of previous actions aspect is what drives me nuts. Just look at the incident in isolation irrespective of the player involved ffs. It’s no where near tribunal worthy.
What i dont get is why people think he would bump?
And not mark the footy and go back, kick a goal and sing the song after the siren.
Its clear its not a bump or intent to collide because there is no motivation. Its clearly not in his footy interest to do so
I actually reckon the tribunal will throw it out.
If they dont, its a pretty clear signal were heading towards a non-contact sport.
Whilst it may still be an entertaining game like snake said,
it will be a whole new ball game
Imagine how skinny the fox footy commentary panel will be in 30-40 years, if thats how it goes?
Theylle stuff Blokes like dunstall and brown and put them in a museum.

At this rate you will be an official contrarian soon TM.
I agree, I don't think those two incidents are very similar at all. I actually think that still shot looks bad for Lynch. You've got one guy in position to contest the ball and Lynch off the ground bumping the other well away from there. Still shots are risky reference points but if that was in any other context on the ground we'd take 3 weeks and run I reckon.
I only saw a replay on the night and must be totally out of touch
I would have pinged the Bulldogs player for unrealistic attempt and trying to initiate front on contact with a marking player
Jones marks the ball at full stretch
the other Bulldogs player was never going to get that high as to compete for the ball
initially all 3 had eyes for the ball , but out of position he braces for contact with Lynch and at that point he wasn't pulling out he was going to take out the body of lynch
lynch pulls out of the marking contest but cant disappear contact happens

That's why they should use real time action vision of the incident. The still shots don't tell the real story.
Lynch "pulled out" of the marking contest because he was out of position to mark the ball, which happens plenty of times in evey game. He didn't pull out to "bump" Keath but he did brace himself for the inevitable contact which Keath himself initiated by running into a marking contest in which he had absolutely no chance of winning. His only intention was to stop Lynch from competing for the mark.
Sorry TBR but your'e condemnation of Lynch is laughable, you defended Dangerfield's actions in the 2020 Granny saying it was a " football action" or some such nonsense & yet when Lynch has far less time to react in his situation you are quite happy to take "3 weeks & run".
There's being contrary & there's being terribly inconsistent, you're guilty of the latter.
Just another view on this, I spoke to my Bulldog supporting brother about it, he laughed & said it was an absolute joke. He couldn't believe that Lynch was sent to the tribunal. To him it was just a part if the game & Keath was unlucky.
I'm not even getting into the Dangerfield one, anyone who thinks that was something are talking through their bias and therefore impossible to reason with.
There's no issue with your description of the Lynch play, the problem is he has gone off the ground and hit him high which has concussed him. If he had gone low and got him hip to hip then there's no issue. A bit like Broad previously, no problem with his intent or laying a tackle in that situation, but he has stuffed it up. It's execution.
Thats extraordinary!!!!
Same round, same incident.
One is a great courageous response to criticism
The other is > 3 weeks.
Wow
