Lynch !!

[Disco]

Why couldn’t he not have hurt the foot and we were scheduled to play the Cats this week.

 

[immorta]

Should never have got this far, play on.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

This was the type of narrative coming from Saturday night onwards.

 

[mrposhman]

What I'd like to know is how does Michael Cristian still have a job? He has ample time to go over footage and make his judgements based on set criteria and still can't get it right. If i F'd up at work so badly and so often I'd be sacked.

He's definitely not fit for purpose any longer. So much mixed messaging coming from him now for years.

Its telling that the people that were going hardest for him on BF were Cats fans. They actually believe the *smile* they come out with.

Lynch didn't have the time to decide to bump or not, the down the ground vision showed Keath almost touching Lynch, as Lynchs eyes were still on the footy and a he planted his left foot to jump.

No doubt he got a sight in his peripheral vision, had no idea what it was and the instinct is to protect yourself. He would have had literally half a second or less for his brain to have processed and proceded to the action.

The way some supporters are making out, was that he was lining him up, and choose to go for him as he realised he had run under the ball. Still images allow people to paint a picture of something that is physically impossible to do.

And so does “slow mo “ Posh.

Been hearing that a lot these past few days.

Most incidents can look worse when we slow them down frame by frame but reality is things happen in a split second.

The people who went after Lynch and saying he should cop 3 weeks need to remember this. What irks me more is most are ex players.

It’s too much about me with these ex players who are on the payroll.

Sanity prevails fortunately. Pathetic MRO decision to put it up in the first place. No confidence in this farcical, inconsistent and incompetent system at all - worse than the previous tribunal system from years ago.

 

[Dyer'ere]

By the AFL's own admission Tom Lynch "braced". They conceded with that word. And they know it.

 

[Sintiger]

my faith in the future of the game has been (slightly) restored

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Christian needs to stand down.
He sent that incident straight to the Tribunal to face a suspension 4 weeks+.
Everyone will challenge his *smile* weak verdicts now.
1st McKay & now lynch from 4+ weeks to 0.
His job must be untenable now He is useless

No different to the Cats fans on PRE

The tribunal could let him off.

Yeah but you probably work in a meritocracy, and not a big fat boys club

 

[artball]

the Media and the MRO need to take note of this finding and themselves

they'll alter the narrative to suit their petty agendas but here's hoping that quietly a bit of self-loathing goes on

He lost the Ballard tribunal case as well last week. In recent times, it would appear that he has lost more at tribunal than they have won, putting a lot of question marks around his adjudication and decision making,

 

[The Big Richo]

Do you like apples?

At least you say it to my face unlike all the pathetic cowards having anonymous cheap shots on the other pages. My personal favourite is the poster who called Dustin Martin a drug user questioning my loyalty.

He's done well to get off, thought it was a week live, 2 weeks when I saw it again. Just a pity he's missing three months regardless.

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Should have been a Lynch free kick for blocking.

 

[UKTiger]

Now will the press and pundits lay off trying to crucify Lynch? I doubt it!

 

[DragaTheCro]

When I saw on Facebook that Tom got off I thought it was a hoax. Great to see sanity has prevailed and this trial by media has completely failed.

He is shitt at it.
He listens to the radio while driving into reviewing the incidents and he sends out verdicts to pleased the ones that could bend him over.
His decisions from the Pickett 2 weeks , to the Franklin 1 week for a elbow just shows he makes rulings on the back of popular opinion.
He needs to go.
