Ah ok that makes sense. Was about to go off because Freo also got the home derby despite the AFL knowing full well that only 1 derby was occuring this season and the attendance should have been split.
Also, we had already played Sydney before they came here, so would always get one less game.
Of course they could have sent a Victorian club instead...

Pickle me grandmother!
I am shocked, i tells ya.
I am shocked, i tells ya.
Lynch was always going to get off that and Christian new it, he could have suspended him for third strike, but by sending him to the tribunal he wouldn't have to. And to be honest if one of our players got suspended for that i would be pissed.

But it wasn't even until the tribunal started that we knew what the incident had been graded as.
We need a new MRO.
Him sending this to tribunal is stupid.
He has already had 3 offences overturned this year in Yeo, Hawkins and now Lynch. Arguably McGovern shouldn't have been suspended either.
He doesn't even understand his own table of offences. The MRO and the Tribunal don't have a common view of what the AFL are trying to achieve with their table of offences in terms of what is part of the game, and what are actions that sit outside or normal play in a contact sport.
What MRO thinks constitutes a strike v what the tribunal think constitutes a strike are worlds apart.

So Hurley’s throat and chest are in the same place of his body?
So if Lynch injures one of our players this weekend do we sue the AFL for negligence?

Actions are actually quite similar but context is different.
Gov ran 20 metres and had rage coming out of the pits where his eyes are meant to be. It had nothing to do with the ball, and everything to do with retribution. His contact slipped high, and in my opinion wasn't worthy of suspension.
Lynch was ruled as a high fend off and getting separation on his opponent.
Lynch's actions are much more akin to Yeo's in my mind.
The MRO should rightly be embarrassed that 3 of his offences have been overturned this year, for essentially the same thing.
You can hate Richmond and think Lynch is a flog without being parochial tho
He's a flog and a faux tough guy but he didn't deserve to go for that
