What time is the hearing? Watched 360 last night for the first time in a while and cannot believe the trial by media on Lynch. They never said a word when Dangerflog walked for KOing Vlas or when GAJ was doing his Macho Man Randy Savage impersonation every week, but the minute Lynch gets a bloke high he should be rubbed out. Just about had a gut full

The biggest AFL Club in the Land gets the biggest attention however undeserved! (makes the minnows feel competitive!)

Only way he gets off is if the charge is down graded to low impact and for all honesty i dont see why it shouldnt with the dawks player continue to play and no concussion.

I cant remember has Marlion been suspended many times ?
Surely a $2000 fine will be enough

Pickett: I tucked my arm in to make the shepherd as safe as possible.

Asked to grade how much effort he put into the contact on a scale of 1-10, Pickett says three.

Asked to grade his speed on a scale of 1-10, Pickett says three.

Richmond is trying to argue impact was 'low' rather than 'medium'.

Richmond citing an incident between Levi Casboult and Alex Pearce in 2021, which was judged as 'low' impact, saying the potential to cause injury in that incident was greater than Pickett's.

AFL citing Tribunal guidelines: Any high bump that constitutes rough conduct that has the potential to cause injury will usually be graded as 'medium' impact. Saying the matter is "crystal clear".


AFL: It was more good luck than good technique that Moore was not injured.

The momentum in the Casboult case was "significantly less" than Pickett's, which was a "decision to bump".

Richmond: We say this is a case of good management and bad luck that high contact occurred at all.

Richmond: There was no appreciable risk here of anything more than what happened eventuating ... he's not travelling at excessive speed, did not apply excessive force, went low and tucked in, stayed low to the ground.

Richmond: He took reasonable steps to execute a perfect bump and, aside from some secondary contact and glancing high contact, that's exactly what he did.

Richmond: Moore reacts to the contact in exactly the way you'd expect from someone who's received force to their body and chest and shoulder as opposed to the head.

Richmond pointing to the fact no one attempted to remonstrate with Pickett and suggests there is "good reason for it".

Richmond: In terms of the potential risk to cause injury, that risk didn't exist that what would occur was anything more than what happened, which was no injury at all.

5min ago... The jury is now deliberating.

Bullshit:

Richmond's appeal has failed.

Marlion Pickett's one-match ban stands.

In the words of Jim Richards… Packoarseholes!

What absolute bullshit. Was a legit bump.
 
Reason for Pickett decision via Tribunal chairman:



Pickett approached and executed the bump with momentum, and Moore himself was moving with momentum. There was a realistic potential of head, facial or concussive injury.



The jury did not consider that the Casboult example was sufficiently comparable as the circumstances and momentum of the players were different to that here.
