Agree

Cotchin's tackle was way worse than Lynch knee. Should've been a week, maybe even 2 weeks in a normal H&A season

Cotchin is a massive sniper

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Lynch is a key forward, so it's fair to assume he cops heaps of treatment from his weekly tormenter. If he hands out the occasional sly one it's no big deal for me.

$750 fine.  Wow that will really discourage him and his $%# coach from continuing to snipe.  A football penalty is the only thing these guys understand.

cost him a round of drinks at his fav nightclub

Is that Lynch’s third fine for the year?

Fourth.

Sam Collins, Jarrod Witts, Alex Witherden.

The Michael Hurley incident did not result in a fine.

Aren’t players suppose to cop a suspension after they’ve received three or four fines in one season?

if that were the case you could safely bet they would have found a reason to not fine him

I don't understand the concept:' Its finals time. There’ll be no suspension nor should there be.'

So, because it's a final, anything goes. That is codswallop bean curd crapola.

 

It's what happens though, I don't understand alot about the AFL's logic.

However, wait until we get to a prelim and Gawn gets suspended for jumping with his knee too high in the ruck and Oliver gets a week for staging when he ducks into a tackle like Selwood does.

He was only doing a BLM knee in solidarity with George Floyd.   Lovely gesture. ?

I thought 3 fines = 1 week. I actually believed that was the r e ason the tiges did not play Lynch last week.

Surely the AFL wouldn’t make a knee jerk rule change based in one case ?
