I wonder if he hadn’t already been injured and set for a spell on the sideline if he would have gotten off.

Exactly! The media have a lot to answer for with their hysteria on this incident
You’re a beauty mate
Bloody contrarian
Every now and then I like to pick some low hanging fruit just to see how it tastes.
Should have a club ban on any of these pricks that have a loaded agenda.
Tell em to gagf
So you were wrong about Dimma with his press conference and you were wrong about Lynch.
You’re having a terrible week and it’s only Tuesday
I actually yelled out YES then realised he aint playing for the next 8 weeks
Negative Ghostrider I was spot on about Hardwick.
I didn't criticise the content of Hardwick's presser, I said he should say what he wants to say without playing 'I don't know what your talking about' games or giving weird clips to commentators.
Just come out and say there was nothing in the incident and you expect Lynch will be cleared. Easy.
As for Lynch, I think many people have pointed out on here for a long time that the tribunal is usually wrong.
If there is a 3 week difference in opinion between Christian and the Tribunal, wouldn't this make Christians position untenable? Same with the McKay incident.

Hardwick wasn’t playing games.
He was right to question what they were talking about.
There was no report. There was no free kick awarded. There was no remonstration by any opposition players.
There was only trial by media which he wouldn’t have been privy to as he was probably preoccupied coaching a game of football.
It’s only you who surmises that he would have been pre briefed about a potential post game report.
And in the end, he was proven correct. He objected to the inference that it was reportable and rebuked the incident as a tough marking contest and the tribunal concurred when they delivered a verdict of nothing to see here.
It’s only you, Cornes, Wheatley and the Geelong membership base left to ponder where you went so wrong.
Agree, if a journalist cannot phrase a direct question in 3 or 4 attempts why should hardwick or anyone else have to guess what is being asked of him.
The journalist was being a *smile*, hardwick just helped him dig his hole. No surprise the other journalists support the said *smile* journalist. Well played hardwick.
So your position is when Hardwick was asked that question he legitimately had no idea what incident they were referring to? You're focussing on the content of what he said which I have no issue with.
Even if I didn't know that coaches are briefed by the media team before they walk into a post game press conference as to what the media might ask about the game, I'd still be happy to wager as many dollars as you like that you were wrong.
For one, they are sitting in a box with a feed of the game coming through and the incident was mentioned and replayed several times. The chances no-one mentioned it in the box are zero.
Secondly a key player in the opposition was ruled out of the game. That creates all sorts of interest in the opposition box, and they will have been immediately looking at what the Bulldogs would do to cover him and looking to predict whether the player would be back or not.
Having been in that environment many times and heard the discussions over the radio in those situations, there is no chance at all he wasn't aware of exactly what happened.
I reckon Tom reacted how 98% of us would have reacted if we were ever in that situation. We would have protected ourselves and tried to protect that peanut charging recklessly at us……the balance would have cannoned in with a knee lifted. The Jizza’s & Dangerflogs of the world.
I didn’t see that coming. I’m off to redirect an order for a truckload of chicken *smile* to Docklands

Common sense prevailed but a disgrace it ever hit the tribunal in the first place.
It was highlighted by other posters. The charge Christian laid does not event fit in to their own criteria. Expect a new category within a week.
And good work by our council. We haven't always got these arguments right.
