Tom Lynch - Gold Coast Suns

[WERRIDEE 5,518]

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.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,090]

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.

Deserves four weeks, dog act.

Lined him up. Elbow away from his side at impact.

4 weeks.

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

[Tony Tea 2,809]

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.

Coco pops

Not a gazelle is he!

6 weeks

[s-t-i-n-g-a 439]

What was the impact? Did the player continue playing?

[titan_uranus 25,045]

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.

[Redleg 41,491]

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'.

[s-t-i-n-g-a 439]

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.

[Wunders 397]

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.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

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.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

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

[RalphiusMaximus 6,090]

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?

[WERRIDEE 5,518]

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.
