All I've done is put forward the alternatives that I believe Christian would have asked himself if Lynch was capable of taking to avoid the contact and in his opinion he thinks Lynch did have those alternatives hence the charge being laid. If our defence advocate can make a good case that Lynch didn't have those options available then he gets off, if not then he gets rubbed out and the debate no doubt continues among some of us. As for me I'm pretty much done with it and will be happy if Lynch gets off, but I'm not going to be shocked or angry if he gets rubbed out because having looked into why the charge was laid I understand how it was reached.

The MRO also sent David McKay to the Tribunal for his part in this contest, also asking for a 3 week ban. Whilst he and Clark are both contesting the ball at the point of impact and Lynch and Keath were not, the similarity is in both instances both players roughly equally contributed to the collision, and both McKay and Lynch left the ground as impact was occurring.



McKay's case was not suspended by the Tribunal, and Lynch should not be suspended either, and whilst there are differences in the two cases, the reasons for no suspension should be similar. Clear intent to contest the ball initially, bracing for contact very late when it was inevitable there would be a collision.

AFL gonna implement new rule that Lynch has to serve his suspension when he’s back fully fit for match selection
You say this in jest, but I actually wouldn't be surprised.

Well, I have never seen anyone else suspended or even charged for what McKay did. And I have never seen anyone else suspended or charged for what Lynch did.

The only way the MRO could justify his position in the Lynch case imo is if he has been told to send every concussion causing incident possible to the Tribunal to be tested. But I am confident the Tribunal will not suspend Lynch here.

Currently been deliberating the Harry McKay charge for 25 minutes after a 90 minute hearing. Could be a long night for the Lynch hearing.
 
I played the game for over 25 years and have watched it for well over 40 years so I'm well aware of how quick it all happens.

O'Meara wasn't cited because he was contesting the ball and it was reasonable for him to contest the ball in that way, if it wasn't for Witherden coming in from the opposite direction he likely would have taken the mark uncontested and this from the tribunal guidelines back up why O'Meara wasn't cited, nor should he have been.

As for Lynch he could have pulled up and made slight contact with Keath, he could have attempted to side step Keath, he could have tried to engage with Jones. Not that it matters because you're no doubt going to tell me none of those options were viable. Well tonight at the tribunal our advocate will have the chance to put forward the arguement that Lynch didn't have those options and if they make a good enough case then Lynch will get off, if not then he'll get suspended.

According to the guidelines he will get suspended if he had a realistic alternative and didn’t take it.

What I don’t understand is when JOM had a realistic alternative …. to continue going for the mark …. I’m not sure why the fact he didn’t take the option to go for the ball is irrelevant in his case, but not in Lynch’s. You say it’s because JOM was already in the air, but why could he not have continued going for the ball?
