MRP / Trib. Lynch To Tribunal

[tony__montana]

There was a difference in that Cameron led with a raised elbow whereas Lynch braced himself but both still jumped into the contact. Unfortunately as a result of Keath getting concussed Lynch will likely get rubbed out.

Massive difference in the way both players approached contact, nothing alike at all.

 

[Lacustrus]

Stewart got 6 weeks for his hit on Prestia.

Four weeks

1. like you said, dangerfield incident wasn't in a marking contest so its not even slightly similar to this incident
2. he raised his forearm directly into vlastuin's face rather than lowering his arm
3. dangerfield got 0 weeks, so i'm happy for lynch to also get 0 weeks

It was still a contest between Dangerfield and Vlastuin as it was a loose ball between them. While Dangerfield got no weeks and we'd all be happy having Lynch get no weeks, if Dangerfield got weeks then by that logic you'd also be ok with Lynch getting weeks.

 

[tony__montana]

Because Lynch turned at the last moment.

Look at the lead up and tell me that Keath isn't coming from the front. Also please verify if his eyes are on the ball.

Great still shots there mate, says it all and should be used in his defence

They classed Dangerfield as a football incident. This is very very much the same

 

[fusion]

I thought it was just an accidental collision, which is going to happen sometimes in a game where there is no off-side rule and the ball can come from any angle. Maybe he should make an argument that his broken foot prevented him from deviating? If he gets 3+ weeks, we're going to see plenty of players suspended for accidents.

I also see Jones pushing lynch forward

Jones definitely doesn't push him forward.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Wasn't front on contact though, but side to side.

Yes I have, the problem is that Lynch elected to bump once he was no longer in the contest.

He still elected to bump and as a result of that bump concussed Keath, which will always result in a MRO issued suspension or a tribunal visit.

We all demanded that Dangerfield be rubbed out for his collision with Vlastuin in 2020, which granted wasn't in a marking contest, because he elected to bump instead of contest the ball, yet we now want Lynch let off.

IMO it can't be both, you can't want one player rubbed out and then the other let off just because they wear the jumper of the team you support.

goodness me, it is not about 'want', it is precendent.

Dangerfield led with a raised elbow to brace for contact with Vlastuin's head (and that's being generous re. Dangerfield's motives), and got nothing, nothing at all, right? not even cited.

Lynch did something far less dangerous, tucked in to brace for contact, did less damage (Vlastuin's head knock + consequences were obviously comparatively far worse), but gets summoned directly.

You might not mind Lynch being punished for his act, but you can't pretend it is not utterly inconsistent.

Don't know if the tribunal has come out and said it is throwing out previous precendents for head knocks...

Four weeks

Well there you go, Stewart made no attempt at the ball, purely lined meatball up.

 

[sante]

It won’t matter what he gets but you can’t suspend a player in a marking contest

 

[richo's dodgy hammy]

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.

Turn it up ffs

 

[Frank Grimes]

Who cares, he is out injured. It's pointless as his suspension is going to be served during his injury lay off. It's actually embarrassing.

What may be funny about this is this won't punish Lynch and they may make a rod for their own back because they will be setting a precedent and expectation from the result/penalty for everybody else moving forward.

Both Lynch and Keath have eyes on the ball in the lead up, Keath takes his eyes off when he realises that he isn't going to get to the fall of the ball and that Lynch and Jones are going to contest it(3rd pic) and begins to brace himself for contact, in the 3rd & 4th pics Lynch isn't even extendind his arms for the marking contest and would know that Keath is there through peripheral vision, which is why he braces for contact.

What you don't show though is Lynch leaving the ground when he is making contact with Keath, which you see from the side on shot on the clip on the AFL site.





I'd love for Lynch to get off but as I said earlier the way the game is adjudicated now around bumping actions, acts like this, whether it's a Tiger doing it or another team will result in suspensions.

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

Well said, hopefully this is the moment our club decides to draw a line in the sand .

Don't hold your breath from past efforts we always just take it up the butt hole with no lube and asking for more.

Yep so nothing alike. Thanks for confirming.

 

[DickieKnee]

If you aren't allowed to brace yourself for contact there's gonna be a lot more concussions than there is now.

The similarity is in both didn't elect to contest the ball and instead took out an opponent. Camerons was much more severe though.

Game is gone.

AFL is actively seeking to suspend players, guys like Lynch and Harry McKay

are the reason you go to the footy, yet here we are trying to get them suspended on minor incidences.

Its ****ing footy, don't play if you're scared of a concussion.

You're missing the point, and also showing footage when Lynch is milliseconds from going into the air, when Lynch decides to brace for impact by rotating. IN THE LEAD UP, Keath is coming from the front (yes or no?). You state that he 'isn't going to get to the fall of the ball' – the fall of the ball is ****ing metres away from the contest.

What on Earth are you on??

 

[_RT_]

Your off your chops…

More a case of I'm not just blinded by the team I support being on the receiving end of a report and seem to have a bit more awareness of how the MRO adjudicates things like this now especially since the AFL got slugged with a class action around head/brain related injuries

 

[chriso11]

Ever seen players misjudge marks before?

Exactly he misjudged the mark, was running at it full pelt, saw a player coming and braces for the impact. How Lynch is supposed to see Keith and then avoid contact in a millisecond is beyond me unless he has the superpower to slow time

 

[biaseddustyfan]

he didn't elect to bump anyone. he jumps because he's halfway going for the mark. he even raises his arms for the mark after stopping his ribs from being broken. this all happens in 0.58 of a second btw

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

What happens in the scenario where Lynch doesn't brace himself and get's concussed also????
Who then get's cited and ultimately suspended, it's ****ing madness I hope the ALF get the arses sued off them with all the legal action with concussion cases.
I'm not going to lie I wouldn't even be angry if the AFL folded at lest all these dido wearing woke ****ers will be jobless. Maybe then a new league can start up with Benny in charge.
