Douglas went out of his way to hit Ward who wasn't within 5 metres of the ball... Viney hit a player under different circumstances. I'm not saying he didn't hit Lynch's head, but I'm saying there was no genuine other option. He didn't pick off Lynch.If Fyfe and Douglas get games, Viney has to. It really is as simple as that.
Regardless of what you think of the rule, anything different is flagrant inconsistency.
