MRP / Trib. Lynch To Tribunal

[WATiger86]

Watch them go heavy and the media will cite his injury as justification of why an extend ban is warranted

What a joke - a footy act resulting in an unfortunate injury

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

He was out for BLOOD. Haven't you seen the zoomed in, 3 angles of footage in slow motion in 4K????

Aren't they saving that for 360?

For those suggesting that what Lynch did was fair, IMO it's no different to Cameron doing this in 2018, except that Lynch didn't have the long run up, however he did opt to make contact with the opponent rather than contest the mark. Had Lynch put his hands up and at least contest the mark there wouldn't be an issue, but when you elect to make contact with the opponent and not contest the footy, you're always going to be in trouble.

You have got the right to brace yourself for contact nothing in it what a soft game it has become

the AFL is in real trouble as a sport here. A player going for a marking contest and bracing for contact coming the other way is sent to Tribunal for suspension… bye bye to marking contests. the disciplinary system is totally rudderless… what a farking joke

should be 10 weeks for the bloke that tackled mccartin last night since he almost died

 

[_RT_]

So he's not allowed to brace for contact to protect his ribs, from a player coming back into a contest?? He saw him coming at the last minute and he had 2 choices, brace for contact and protect yourself, or leave yourself wide open for a bunch of broken ribs.

That this is even being considered as a "severe" incident is a massive joke in itself.

BTW I don't see how it is comparable with that of Cameron. If Cameron had continued with contesting the mark, Andrews would have just ran past him and there would have been incidental contact, Keath was moving INTO not across the marking contact. Cameron had nothing to protect, Lynch did.

You're allowed to brace for contact, however IMO the MRO believes that Lynch chose to bump instead of contesting the mark. Had he done that and made contact with Keath it would be classed as no other way to contest the ball and bad luck for Keath.

As for being graded as severe, the MRO seem to label every concussion incident as severe as a means to establish some consistency in results.

As for the comparison with Cameron/Andrews, like Lynch Cameron never actually contested the mark and instead opted to take out the opponent, the fact he did it with an raised elbow is why he copped 6 weeks (IIRC). Lynch will probably cop 4 like Broad did and I have no issue with that, even if Lynch wasn't injured with the foot.

The AFL is going to continue trying to eliminate unneccary head contact where it can, unfortunately there will be incidents like what happened with Tom McCartin last night that are a result of contesting the ball, but when players are not choosing to contest the footy and simply bump an opponent players are going to run the risk

Lynch was about to be part of a marking contest his arms should have been going up, instead he chose to tuck them and bump and that's the risk you take in todays game.

Book an appointment with spec savers.

Gee wiz,
Brisbane players remonstrated.
Footscrays didn't . What does that tell you?
Also what was lynchs intent?

If he chooses to tuck his arms his intent is to bump.

Lions players remonstrated because Cameron led with a raised elbow. Lynch wasn't anywhere near as malicious, but in todays game, electing to bump when he had another option to contest to ball has cost him. I know it's not the popular opinion, but it's the way the game is being adjudicated now.

 

[Grockadoc]

I've looked at the replay numerous times.
I don't get it.
His eyes are clearly on the ball until the last moment when he turns to brace for impact.
What has he done wrong?

The thing that will get him is he didn't contest for the mark. The trinunal will say he opted to bump than go for the mark.

Should Lynch have got a free for front on contact, seeing as though he was in the marking contest, and Keath was not?

 

[joelsyt]

The AFL has had it out for Lynch since he left their golden child and won 2 premierships. The poor bastard is going to be paying for leaving Gold Coast for the rest of his career, he’ll get weeks, whether it’s right or not.

Ever seen players misjudge marks before?

 

[biaseddustyfan]

Lynch was about to be part of a marking contest his arms should have been going up, instead he chose to tuck them and bump and that's the risk you take in todays game.

lynch pulled his elbow down (rather than raising it into Keath's face) and didn't duck and lead with his shoulder either, and braced in the best way he could to avoid copping some broken ribs

what else is he meant to do? stop on a dime? matrix dodge under keath? is he meant to realise 5 seconds earlier that he's going under the ball and pull out of the entire contest instead? should he use time travel to help with that?

you realise this all happens in a split second? why would he put his arms up when he's run under the ball and can't hit it? is he supposed to be thinking about the tribunal in that moment and think i better put my arms up to avoid suspension even though I can see some bloke about to take me out? a bloke who isn't contesting the mark himself either

this was a standard making contest that went wrong. shit happens

Christian is a ****ing idiot - the end

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

**** the AFL it's turned to absolute rubbish. How the **** did this get sent to the tribunal? I can't stand this sport anymore.

 

[Dunger]

Lunch was trying to mark the ball, was run under the ball by his direct opponent and old mate was trying to impact Lynch in the contest instead of being front and square to crumb the ball.

Correct.

As much as people don't like it, it's the way the game is going. Getting hit when both players are contesting the footy is part and parcel of the game and it's unfortunate if you get hurt. However when one player elects to not contest the footy and given an opponent concussion they will be liable for it and be sanctioned.
