Welcome to the Tigers Marlion Pickett!

[TigerForce]

Dimma called Robbo out on his crap about dusty.

Has an axe to grind.

Has a platform.

Pretty pathetic.

Just looked like lynch went to handpass and was pretty much unaware of impey.

Just remembered Dimma's on AFL360 tonight.

 

[graystar1]

Will Jr be on the show with him tonight?
If so, hope Jack gives him a huge serve.

For those that predicted the "outrage" by Robinson re Lynch then read and be not surprised.
He seems to have a real hatred of anything Richmond.

Strange then that at the weekend, Richmond’s Tom Lynch escaped a penalty for raising an elbow into the face of Hawthorn’s Jarman Impey.

The AFL MRO assessed the incident as: “Lynch takes possession of the loose ball on the wing. Impey approaches to tackle from side on and high contact is made by Lynch on Impey. It was the view of the Match Review Officer that Lynch’s actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.’’

So, the MRO is saying it’s not unreasonable to elbow an approaching player in the face if it’s a fend. That is mystifying.


Greene cops Toby Tax and Lynch walks free.

Try to assess the incident from Impey’s angle — he’s running in, knowing he can get to Lynch to tackle him legally and in the next moment, he cannons into the raised elbow of Lynch, has his eye opened up and has to leave the field.

But it wasn’t unreasonable, said the AFL.

The AFL pats itself on the back for all the work it does on concussion research and CTE — a brain disease that has played a part in ex-players taking their own lives — and making the head sacrosanct.

Yet, Lynch was able to use the elbow, one of the most unforgiving weapons used to injure a player, and the AFL says, “play on”.

Look mate if you haven't noticed The fat knob is a massive Richmond hater.
And if his beloved Bombers had any chance of beating us, it just got blown out with the MRO findings.
This the same bloke that wants Hird to go back to Essendon.
*smile* them all.
I hope lynch kicks 8 to bend them over good and proper.

Robbo
'Can't see Richmond making the 8"
'Cotchin looks like his midfield days are numbered'
'Not convinced the last 3 wins mean anything'.
This is coming from a Essendon supporter.
'Will Martin walk away?'
'Martin should've spoke after the game'
His articles on Richmond are always nnegative
P.S Maybe we shouldve been so hard on him half time of the 2019 GF.
I've never seen a smoke get smoked soo quick. His head was fluoro Red and it wasn't even a hot day. He spent the entire week Mentioning Cox heroics in the final against us and we wouldn't want to choke agajn
He was reminded very quickly the game was over and the flag was ours at half time and he spewing GWS caved in

When your team doesn't win a final for so long it can psychologically affect you and cause you to say stupid things.

Nick Reiwoldt says Marlions shepherd was over the top! WTF?

 

[The Big Richo]

Nick Reiwoldt says Marlions shepherd was over the top! WTF?

I know what he means, that was old school footy. He doesn't need to plough the guy now, he just needs to get in his path.

 

[TOT70]

I thought at the time that Marlion would go. Any time you run past the ball and bump someone, you will be suspended.

I was chatting with a workmate this morning and he mentioned that his 19 year old son was concussed in a similar incident yesterday where an opponent ran past the ball and took him out. The kid didn’t see it coming and threw up twice last night. Probably won’t play now for several weeks.

It is unnecessary.

 

[jb03]

Just curious to know if there was outrage by Slobbo when DangerFLOG knocked out Vlustuin in the 2020 GF with his elbow. In comparison, Lynch's clumsy fend off was mild and I'm pretty sure Impey played on.

Robbo encouraged that pre-game

 

[TigerMasochist]

Can appeal on 2 fronts.

Medium impact down to Low and high contact down to no high contact

Bloke got up n played out the game, can't have been any more than low impact to the head. The actual contact to the body might have been medium impact, but it's a legal contact. Any contact to the head was an incidental result of the body block, but the head contact was a secondary contact and of a much lower impact.

Nick Riewoldt cried on the bench. Not surprising that he thought it was over the top.

But the hawthorn player got up and went chasing the ball.
Not sure what they saw

Understand what you are saying TOT.

My son last year got split up in the middle by an opposite kid , under 16’s and didn’t see it coming. Son was targeted all game until this kid got him.

You’ve made me remember my sons incident and now I feel bad for praising Picketts hit.

Is the bump then ‘dead’. ?

Is the shepherd’ not encouraged’ or ‘taught’ ?

Do coaches instruct their players do either of the above and you risk ‘suspension?

End of the day I truly know what the AFL are trying to do but is it in the best interests of the ‘code, the AFL or against ‘litigation?.

It’s a contact sport foremost.

To say Marlion shouldn’t have bumped or came in to shepherd is too simplistic for me? Don’t hit the head?

What does he do?

It’s going to be hard to take this instinct out of AFL players.

If the AFL want to change this it has to be disclosed to the clubs, it’s players , us the fans.

Then it becomes an generational change from AusFooty right up ..

Then the game becomes something else.

That’s what I saw.

Didn’t reach for his head. Didn’t come off. No free kick. No concussion report ( that we know of).

 

[tha8ball]

What does ‘low impact’ consist of if this was deemed medium? A stiff breeze?

 

[artball]

That’s what I saw.

Didn’t reach for his head. Didn’t come off. No free kick. No concussion report ( that we know of).

this is what RFC will push .. maybe even try the jumper design for an emotional angle ... suspended sentence !

 

[Dyer'ere]

I think we go for a one-week injunction then negotiate.

 

[Tigers of Old]

It all comes down to whether he hit Moore in the head. If he did then he won't play.

If he does miss no doubt the team will dedicate their performance to Marlion in his designed jumper. Could steel the group anyway.

Forgot to mention the Geelong player who concussed Higgins but also had no case to answer - talk about pick and choose the wanker
