Pretty lucky, in my opinion, considering Lynch's record (although, Lynch did have a reasonable case).
It begs the question though, considering it only took the tribunal 5 minutes to make their decision, with the field umpire's evidence playing a significant role in the outcome, why didn't the video umpire confer with the field umpire prior, to avoid the un-necessary charge?

How can you break someone's cheek in a spoil attempt and not get pinged? I've got no doubt it was accidental but the fact remains that he has whacked a bloke in the side of the head and put him out of action for a month.
No penalty = what a joke...

Not surprising, was a waste of time reporting him in the first place. Cloke would of been cleared too, if he didn't do it during a final.

Absolutely nothing like Clokes.
No swinging arm in the Lynch incident, and Cloke did not have an opponent hanging on to him. The contact happened as the ball arrived with Lynch, not late like Cloke.
The tribunal has been consistent for the first time in living memory as it cleared Biglands in Rd 1, so it had to clear Lynch as it was a lot more line ball.

Deserved a week, not surprised that he got off though.
Apparently it is only reckless if it doesn't involve a Lions player doing the punching. I think one Jason Cloke will be fuming over this decision.
He was bloody lucky.

Cloke's attack on Edwards was alot more severe than Lynch's, and Lynch was actually trying to puch the ball not the man in the head

Why? Belting Edwards saved Cloke from being embarrassed in 2 Grand Finals. (...although it would have saved the embarrasment from his old man after the tribunal hearing.)

ABSOLUTELY DODGY AS ALL ****, THIS TRIBUNAL OF OURS
And yes, I meant to shout.

You guys have to be kidding dont you, there was no way in the world he deserved to be rubbed out for that, The ball was in the vicinity and if he was not be held back off the ball he would have been able to get off the ground. What was he suppose to do, no make a contest. Football is turning more into a game for the fairies everyday
Are you trying to say Cloke wasn't? Then you don't know him very well, do you. Lynch has a far greater history of punching opponents than Jason Cloke ever has.Originally posted by maccas_no1

As for a lot more severe I don't think so.
Well now all AFL players know that when they want to punch someone all they need do is wait until the ball is in the vicinity. Better let Baker know that.
So you don't mind players whacking each other in the head if the ball is in the vicinity?
The rules state that you can not make contact to another players head. End of story. Lynch not only made contact, he nearly knocked Wakelin out and fractured his cheekbone in the process.
Should have got at least 2 weeks.
Doesn't matter. Under the AFL rules if his action was reckless he is guilty of the charge. That is what Jason Cloke was suspended for. A total lack of consistency.Originally posted by cameronk
So you honestly believe he was targeting the player?
(I can put the roll eyes in too)
So by your reasoning the AFL should rub out any player that makes a high tackle??
If it would have been a Collingwood player up there you would see it the other way, its just Collingwood have a chip on there shoulder in regards to Brisbane.
