Lynch !!

Love it when the Lynchman or any others play genuine hard mongrel aggressive contested footy. Don't like it when so many players constantly chip in with the stupid n dirty little punches, elbows n knees regardless of how forceful or not they are.
Thought on first view with the way he's been going this year he might have been in strife for the Prelim n that would have put a serious dent in our flag chances. I'll take the fine with a sigh of relief, but *smile* like that just isn't needed n unfortunately the youngsters see it weekly n think it's just all part of the game so then join in.
 
I have heard it all now Whatley, Huddo, Wallace and Murphy saying something like "it was like the umpires indulged Richmond in letting them get away with other incidents that should have been 50"

Since when have the umps done the Tige's any favours?

I think it was one of the Geelong flogs, Huddo or Whatley that was attributable to the comment.
 
Ferals going feral on the AFL page on FB.
For the first (and most likely last) time in my life I went to the reddit AFL page today - beyond feral. Lynch was called a c$&@, genuine f$&@ing c$$@, worst player in the league, other posters were referring to threatening comments etc etc. It was not footy banter, it was disturbed individuals who need to get out from behind the keyboard and seek counselling.

Did something I normally don’t do, read the comments on FB , lol ffs flogs saying he should get life, 3 weeks, worst bloke in AFL, hope he gets injured and how protected the RFC is :)) But probably the best of them Long would have got weeks if it was him..

I think the best ones were in the incident with Paton. Howard and Lynch up for marking contest, Paton backs in, gets incidental contact right.

I've read that Lynch "punched" him in the head without going for the ball - Ok then, he's got the largest fist I've ever seen, must get him in a porno
I've read that Lynch deliberately elbowed him in the face - Ok then if you say so, never heard of a marking contest, guess what elbows go up when your hands move upwards, its basic body mechanics and Paton is a shorter fella, he couldn't jump over Lynchs arms.

Yet another massive over reaction and complete character assasination

Balta pushing someone in the back, (which was probably fair), but then said we were pushing the boundaries in slow play tactics in giving ball back or playing on pretending we didn't hear the whistle etc.

That one there, if the roles were reversed you can guarantee they would have stated that the Tiges were staging there was such little force in it.

I've watched that marking contest back a number of times. Lynch always had eyes for the ball, went up for the mark, Howard jumps to, incidental contact on Lynch but slight push forward (with his body) unbalances Lynch and his arm collects with Patons head. He never once looked at Paton.

Compare that to the "tackle: that Jones attempted on Bakes. Who tackles with a closed fist??? Nothing is said because Bakes doesn't get split open.
 
Lynch is pretty lucky that he hasn’t been sent straight to the tribunal for an offence that wasn’t reportable and had virtually zero impact. He needs to be careful; next time they’ll get him for being ‘too mean’.

You know one of the funniest things I read. When the Hawks were the unsociable Hawks you never saw Buddy or Roughead sniping behind play. I'll give them Roughie, but Buddy???? Seriously??? He played to hurt people, add others like Lewis, that was their game.

I broke my own rule to stay clear of the media this week, right after having made it because I wanted to hear if Robinson was on 3aw at midday and if anyone would challenge him on his garbage cheating tweet.

He wasn't on but I know one thing for sure Tim Lane has become a full on hater..... Matthew Lloyd, believe it or not said he loves us at the moment and the passion we show and particularly how hard Lynch is hitting packs.....!

The one that really had me baffled was the bloke who I believe was charged by police for his on field actions and great player tho he was, and he hit blokes fair and square down the middle when that stuff was acceptable. .... he also kinged his share of players when they least expected it!

Anyway. .... it's a bit late now but Leigh Matthews said Lynch should be sent straight to the tribunal:rolleyes:
