Surely he will get suspended he hit the bloke in the head. How many weeks will he get?

I thought that Gold Coast would be about a 3 goal better team than us but now that Lynch should be out I think it is an even money game.

I'm really looking forward to the game.

    GC had a lot of players resting for that game. I wouldn't read too much into it.

    On the bright side, as you say Lynch shouldn't be playing which will help us slow their scoring. We'll have to choke the game to stop them from killing us with midfield goals.

    He will cite the Sylvia pre-season defence.

    Sorry tribunal, I thought it was Colin Sylva I hit.

    OK then, on your way.

    Don't know about the incident but I hope GC go in against us with their best side. I think we need to get over the idea of it being better for us if some opposition guns are out, time for us to stand up and play footy and match it with all other clubs.

    Negligent high contact, low impact I reckon

    Does anyone know (including the MRP) how the MRP is supposed to work this season?

    Based on last year's rules, interpretations and which packets are left in the MRP's Kellog's Variety Pack, I reckon Lynch will get two weeks.

    at least 2 weeks

    Not a gazelle is he!

    Deserves weeks, I'd say minimum 3. He doesn't contest the ball at all - he runs past it, eyes only on Buntine. He extends his elbow through the block too (instead of tucking his arm in).

    I'm sure the MRP can find a way to make this 0 weeks or 8 weeks if they want, I have no idea what actually will happen, but he definitely deserves to be suspended.

    Found it hard on the vision on here to see it clearly. It does however appear to be an elbow not tucked in, hitting Buntine's head, as Buntine went for the ball. There was no need for the contact and the head is sacrosant.

    He would have to get a supension, at least a week, maybe more. Last year he would have got a minimum of 2-3.

    He is from an expansion club and that will help him, despite what many might think.

    We will see what the new Panel is like.

    Where are these 'many' Redleg? I think you meant 'a very few'.

  • Quote

    The thing is they usually adjudicate on the outcome not the action or the intent. Does anyone know if the player was put out if the game? If he got up and kept playing id suggest he doesn't have too much to worry about. At least that's how they did it last year.

  • Quote

    I could see him getting off this. He could easily argue elbow was tucked in, Buntine got up fairly quickly (maybe could get buntine to say he hit him mostly in the shoulder rather than head).. Be interesting test case for the new tribunal.

  • Quote

    Will be interesting to see what comes of this either way. Will give us a good idea of where the new MRP will stand on these sort of things. Not that it means much, but if this happened last year, I would have said 1-2 weeks.

  • Quote

    Will give us little idea on how the MRP will operate IMO

    despite numerous revamps, the one thing the last decade has taught us is that they are consistently inconsistent and as the Judd and Pavlich and numerous others showed, all animals are created equal, though some are created more equal than others

    I haven't actually seen any indication that he's been charged yet. It's not mentioned on the AFL website and the match report says no reports from that game. Could he have been given the expansion team pass?

    6 weeks

    Knowing our luck it will only be 1 week and he will miss a NAB challenge match come back against us and kick 5 and be the match winner.

    You are correct, I got it round the wrong way.

    I think all suspended games have to be in season games.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
