Debutant
Andrew McDougall has more of a chance of kicking 5 this week than Lynch has of getting suspended for that. No chance at all.
there is a clear difference.and if it was Archer it wouldn't have attracted anything...right?
lol...Goodes raises him forearm and Lynch raises his knee and both opponents get it in the back, I'm really surprised that you think there is a difference in outcomes.
one will be properly interpreted as a charge.
one was incorrectly, and stupidly interpreted as a charge, which was challenged and downgraded to a correct interpretation as a strike.
It was in play, and body contact. Debatables are impact and intent. The options-
Negligent/medium impact would be 1 activation point
Negligent/high impact, or Reckless/medium impact would be 2 activation points
Reckless/high impact would be 3 activation points.
With a plea of guilty, 3 activation points for a charge would get him a 1 weeker, anything else would be nothing. Hence, 0-1 weeks. Bias hat on, I think this is negligent- was in the air when the marking contest began, made a ill advised decision to put his knees up.
Only thing I'm not sure about is Lynch's record- he certainly doesn't have any carry over points, but I vaguely recall him being cited for a charge against Hawthorn a couple of years ago, I don't think he was suspended though- if not, he gets a further 25% discount, in which case there is just no way he can get a suspension here- would need to be reckless/severe or intentional/high or something.
Random question- if player A and Player B are both charged with an identical offence, Player A is a 100kg monster and Player B is a 70kg rookie, should that be relevant to intent? Ie, should Lynch's action be considered reckless because he is big enough to do more damage?

Wasn't much in it. I highly doubt he tried to deliberately knee Smith in the back, he can not think that smart nor is he a dirty footballer. Great courage shown by Smith and a great goal.
there is always a different interpretation, especially the question "did it hurt?".
100kg monster will be frowned upon, while a 70kg rookie will be looked at differently, perhaps favourably.
Selwood should enjoy a week off, similar to the kerr incidence however further behind play. Should get 2 at least.. downgraded to 1.
Lynch will get off.

such a gutless act. though what we all have to remember here, is lynch is probably the dumbest bloke in the AFL, a point i think they could use to argue at the tribunal for why he did it. he probably did think he was a chance to mark the ball and so jumped - whereas every other normal human would've realised that they were no chance to get to the ball.
Lynch jumped as the fella's hands hit the ball, was never going to make it. dumb lynch didnt even try to spoil.
useless
2 weeks
next!

Lynch did not have his arms up attempting to mark.
He will cop one or two and rightly so, it was clumsy rather than malicious.

He was protecting himself when you jump you put your arms out and he stupidly raised his knees but given thumping dsomeone in the face means you still get off anything could happen to him. 2 weeks or nothing.

A dockers fan talking about gutless acts given the jellyfishes playing for that team who haven't won any silver in so long the trophy cabinet at Freo Oval hasn't even been built.
jellyfishes like daniel chicken? who make up stories to try and get other players rubbed out?

Remember the last game your players really bled for the ex coach didn't they send him off with a stirring performance wasn't it? Win something Freo other than a Derby and then ppl like me will give a sh##t.
stop changing the subject and try and make some sense

Putting the knees up was the bit that really annoyed me. Very very dangerous given most players protect themselves with their arms, and right into the middle of Smith's back.
Probably won't get anything but.

I don't think it was deliberate but it was pretty dumb.
He needs to be a bit more careful than that - I think probably a week.
Props to young Smith for putting his body on the line. Efforts like that are part of the reason why the Kangaroos will be playing finals this year.

Definatly no weeks.
Nothing in it. should get off
I thought it was off the ground when I saw it. I also think it was reckless and he deserves a week. However there was no mallace involved and calling him a dog is just stupid. If you actually follow the eagles, you would know that he lifts his knees a lot when taking a mark.
Glad the player hit was ok. It looked serious at first.
The free kick, fifty, goal and the fact the player (Smith) got up and continued to play should help lynch.
Lynch was already in motion went for the spoil, realised he was too late, protected himself.
Honestly nothing in it, not that i care if he gets suspended he was extremely selfish today.
