They can’t call it deliberate, otherwise the charge should have been Intentional, not Careless.I disagree with the premise that Lynch ‘chose’ to go head high.
What was he supposed to do at the end of a gallop preceding what was going to be a marking contest? Duck?
If he gets done because of the end result so be it, however framing his actions as deliberate is unfair.
Unless he was supposed to jump out of the way like a circus gimp.
Spot On. Intent no longer matters, outcome driven. Madness.So a guy who turns to protect himself from an opposition player who doesn’t have his eyes on the ball is under threat of suspension, yet a guy (McKay) who makes wilful contact to an opposition player and strikes his head doing so, well that’s just a fine ?
You can’t be serious. What is happening to this game.
And as for Mince Whateley suggesting that Lynch shouldn’t have tried to protect himself (ie just wear it), well that stupidity just typifies again the hatred and bias some in the media hold for Richmond. Then again, I’m pretty sure he’s never played the game so I’ll cut him some slack for his stupidity.
Yeah….just let Keath cannon into you and wear the injury. Sure. Looked like Brereton wanted to say “WTF are you talking about ?” but knew where his bread was best buttered and thought better of it.
This one really, really irks me because that prick cocked the arm to hurt Vlastuin. He could have tucked his arm.
It's only Lynch's body language that represents what's going on.. #ARCTovey bringing in the ARC defence.
Tovey (Richmond): The immediate impression of watching this in real time is that this was not unreasonable conduct. There's also a lack of remonstration by Bulldogs players who were around and there were plenty of them.
Love the use of the “response from teammates”….echoes the “Lynch clearly reacted like he had missed the goal”.Tovey bringing in the ARC defence.

The lack of remonstration from the dogs players is compelling IMO. Just a hard marking contest. Move along.Tovey bringing in the ARC defence.

He could have dived out of the way; he’d look like a goose but wouldn’t end up in kangaroo court.
Brereton shouldve told Pinoccio to stand up and show him how he wouldbe done it.So a guy who turns to protect himself from an opposition player who doesn’t have his eyes on the ball is under threat of suspension, yet a guy (McKay) who makes wilful contact to an opposition player and strikes his head doing so, well that’s just a fine ?

Lynch has been bullied the minute he decided he wanted to play for us. From the shitt storm in 2020 with Gold Coast and the Hurley incidents.Lynch gets done for simulation.
The prosecutor has conceded "brace".
Where's the other 7 angry men?This should be a very quick dropping of the charges. If they take too long to deliberate, it'll be because they're on a conference call with Gil, the Scott brothers, Whately and Karen Kornes debating how big a penalty they can get away with.
For those with half a brain.The prosecutor has conceded "brace".
Should be game over.
