Wallace on SEN says yes for off the ball incidents on Sam Collins.
Collins seen punching lockers/walls post game apparently lol.
-
Would not surprise if he received 1 week. Unnecessary!
-
Yes it will be looked
If they are consistent he cops a fine
But.... Reckon he will be used as an example for the league to try and make another "statement"
-
Richmond player.....media outcry....second game in a row....gone.... :shh
-
According to SEN using the MRO criteria:
To the body.
Intentional.
So it then depends on the level of impact.
Low impact = a fine;
Medium impact = one week.
The guy on SEN reckons Lynch will only get a fine unless the AFL want to make an example of Lynch. Opposition fans crying "protective species". Tigers fan said Collins also hit Lynch and Tom would appeal a suspension.
-
Thought it was soft, albeit unnecessary.
Collins was fine though, looked to me like he went down when Aarts was running past and maybe gave him one more?

Dimma backs 'aggressive' Tigers despite Lynch worry
Star Richmond forward Tom Lynch is likely to face Match Review scrutiny over a final-quarter incident with Sam Collins.
By Michael Whiting
afl.com.au
18 August 2020
DAMIEN Hardwick has backed his Richmond side to continue playing with aggression, following a final-quarter incident that is likely to see Tom Lynch come under scrutiny from the Match Review Officer.
With his team leading by seven points late in the night against Gold Coast, Lynch appeared to hit Suns' defender Sam Collins in the stomach.
Collins dropped to the ground seconds later and Lynch led out to take a relatively uncontested mark before sealing the win with a goal.
Although Hardwick said he didn't see the incident, the Tigers coach was on board with the aggressive approach from his team as it begins a run to the finals.
"You give some, you take some," Hardwick said.
"That's the reality of the game, it's a combative sport. We want our guys to play aggressive, assertive footy, that's how they play.
"We don't want them to go over the line, but sometimes they will, which is unfortunate. If their (opposition) backs are there around it, they'll go through them."
Lynch was instrumental in the grinding 21-point win, kicking two of his team's eight goals.
Speaking on ABC Radio post-match, the marquee forward said he didn't have anything to worry about.
"It was an open hand push-off, that was it," Lynch said.
"He (Collins) was a bit angry about that It was just an open hand to the chest, which as a key forward you want to do."

'Cheap shot': Tiger forward faces scrutiny for stomach punch
By Jon Pierik
The Age
August 18, 2020
Richmond forward Tom Lynch faces scrutiny for an off-the-ball "cheap shot" on Suns opponent Sam Collins after the Tigers continued their push for a top-four berth with a 21-point win over Gold Coast on Monday night.
Footage behind the play at the Gabba appeared to show Lynch, the former Suns captain, whacking Collins in the stomach before dashing off on a lead where he marked and converted a goal that iced a hard-fought win.
Collins then remonstrated with Lynch while Suns skipper Jarrod Witts also got involved. Collins appeared to still be angry with the chain of events in the dressing room after the match.
The incident will be assessed by the match review officer before the Tigers' Dreamtime clash against Essendon in Darwin on Saturday.
Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said he wanted Lynch - and his entire team - to play in an aggressive manner.
"You give some, you take some. It's a reality of the nature of the game. It's a competitive sport. We want our guys to play aggressive, assertive footy, that's how they play," he said.
"We don't want them to go over the line, but sometimes they will, which is unfortunate. I like our guys to play assertive, aggressive footy. If the backs (defenders) are there around them, they will go through them."
However, St Kilda great Nick Riewoldt later described the whack as a "cheap shot".
"That play we saw, Tom Lynch went on and kicked a goal. He (Collins) clearly didn't like the treatment and that Tom Lynch got on the end of it and kicked the goal," he said on Fox Footy.
"The precedent is there. Players are going to continue to do it because the whack (punishment) is not big enough. It is a cheap shot because you are not expecting that as a player."
Tigers veteran Jack Riewoldt said Lynch was at his best when playing angry.
"I think that is by design. I feel he plays his best footy when he is on the edge. He is pretty scary ... we know he plays his best footy when he is aggressive in the contest and sometimes there has to be a little bit of this to get him up and going," he said.
"It's just understanding what makes you as a player. I feel he had a really big impact in the back half of the game."
The win leaves the Tigers only two points outside the top four with six rounds remaining. They had 25 more inside 50s than the Suns, but could not breakaway until the final term. Skipper Trent Cotchin returned from a game off and was superb, finishing with 26 disposals, including 15 contested.

Here's the video of the incident:

1. Tom Lynch needs to cool it. Just ask Tomahawk
One of the traits that makes Tom Lynch so good is his aggression, but the marquee Richmond forward is walking on thin ice. Lynch's hit to the stomach of Sam Collins in Monday night's win over Gold Coast might not even be looked at by the Match Review Officer, or it might end up costing him a fine – either way, he is entering dangerous territory. Just two weeks ago Lynch's shove to the back of Alex Witherden's head cost him $500. While neither incident is that bad in isolation, it's these types of brain fades that can be costly come finals time – just ask Geelong's Tom Hawkins whose moment of madness with Will Schofield cost him a preliminary final spot and perhaps his team a Grand Final appearance.

He caught Collins by surprise, low impact, didn’t affect him. Aarts was the one who put him down. Apparently Collins thinks Full forwards aren’t allowed to give it back. Carried on like a fragile 6 year old after the game.

:lol :rollin Saw that.
What a hosehead this kid is. If Lynch wasn’t in his head before the game he certainly is now. I’m guessing it will be an easier game for Lynch next time they play.

Don't know about it being easier for Lynch as Collins will be fired up. Point will be if the Umps will give Lynch any frees when Collins tries to exact revenge

10 News just lead their sports news lambasting Lynch as a thug and lauding Sam Collins for his sooking/emotional outburst after the game. This media has got to stop. It's pathetic.
-
Fined twice
-
Not for lack of trying by the usual "meedja" suspects... :shh
-
This is why i can't stand the media. So Collins punches Tom with a roundhouse to the stomach in the 3rd quarter. Any descussion about this? Of course not...
Tom gets one in as it's been going on all day and all of a sudden he is a thug...
Media dictate what people see...pathetic. And to think people are supporting that petulant behaviour after the game by Collins...makes me sick!
-
Is their footage of Collins punching Lynch?

Yes- happened in front of umpire number 10 3rd quarter.

Footy Classified finally showed the vision of Collins whacking Lynch off the ball and called the reaction to Lynch a beat-up & a pile on.
Lloyd said he went through this as Brown & Hawkins have too. You react in frustration to being hit off the ball. Lynch needs to wait & pick his moment such as Collins backing back into a pack and stick his knee up going the mark if he wants to get Collins back.
-
Dimma has gone whack at David Schwarz for criticizing Lynch.
Said it was over the top & Schwarz can't talk. Played a Grand Final against him and Schwarz was crying after the first 20 minutes.

Well said Dimma. Need to stop the rot with this pile on.

True. They are also white privileged and therefore already racist* by default.

Richmond president Peggy O'Neal grilled on Damien Hardwick's David Schwarz remark
Glenn Valencich
7News
21 August 2020
Richmond president Peggy O’Neal has refused to address the “problematic” aspect of coach Damien Hardwick targeting former Melbourne player David Schwarz.
Schwarz was among the football identities to criticise Tigers forward Tom Lynch after a spate of aggressive acts on the field drew sanctions from the AFL.
Schwarz had claimed Lynch was “not tough” and needed to “stop being a knucklehead” on the field.
A fired-up Hardwick acknowledged Lynch oversteps the mark on the field but said criticism of his character was “over the top”.
His subsequent personal attack on Schwarz, however, drew pushback from football fans who thought the coach had crossed a line.
“The reality is, these things happen from time to time but let’s not define a person’s character by that one event - let’s look at a period of work,” Hardwick said.
“For people to sit there and say he lacks courage is completely irresponsible and lacks perspective in my point of view and they really should have a good hard look at themselves.
“Because I guarantee you, there’s a few players out there making comment.
“Mainly I’m looking at David Schwarz here - I played a grand final (in 2000) against that bloke and within 20 minutes of the game he was crying - so (he should) have a look at himself at some stage.”
Schwarz later told Fox Sports said he stood by what he said about Lynch but would not take Hardwick’s comments personally.
The radio host did offer a subtle jab towards Hardwick for criticising a man’s emotions after overseeing a wellbeing-focused transformation at the Tigers.
“Apparently it matters if you cry,” Schwarz said.
Speaking to ABC radio host Virginia Trioli and AFL commentator Kelli Underwood on Friday morning, O’Neal said she had not spoken to Hardwick since his press conference.
Quizzed on Hardwick’s decision to make it personal, the president rejected opportunities to address the matter beyond a coach defending his player.
O’Neal, pushed to ponder why Hardwick raised Schwarz crying in a grand final, instead said fans were going “a little bit stir crazy” without midweek football.
Kelli Underwood: “This has been a model club the past three years but I think it’s fair to say their reputation has suffered a little bit over the past couple of weeks. Damien Hardwick he’s a good man, he’s a great leader, he’s protecting his player and he’s clearly seething at the criticism of his player.
“But he knows you’re always going to get criticised by former players in the media. People like that will always have a crack. He’s taken the bait. It’s a bit cheap at the end of the day. He was the one who made it personal, which makes it a little bit grubby in my eyes.”
Peggy O’Neal: “I haven’t spoken to him. I had lots of meetings, it was late in the day when I heard that. It certainly has created some discussion, it’s created some fodder for all the talkback radio. But he’s really seriously protective of his players. He’s great about that, it’s one of his great strengths.
“Sometimes I think it’s a bit like family, we defend them in a pretty fierce way. We can criticise them but nobody else can. I saw that David Schwarz came out and said it’s just a difference of opinion so I think we’ve stirred that pot long enough.”
Kelli Underwood: “Can I ask, you’re on the competition committee that formed a couple of years ago. I remember Steve Hocking, the had of football at the AFL, came out and said the one thing this competition committee’s really strong on is to get these cheap behind-the-play punches out of the game. What do you think of Tom Lynch doing that?”
Peggy O’Neal: “I think you’re pointing at Tom but what about all the things that happen before the ball’s bounced, the forwards standing the square when defenders come and punch around for a while? I do think the AFLPA and the players themselves have to come up with a solution.
“You can give penalties, you can give fines and then people say the fines aren’t enough. If you rub out the entire side because everyone’s doing it ... but it was something we talked about long and hard. Players have to be part of the solution. They don’t like it happening to them so they shouldn’t do it to other people.”
Virginia Trioli: “The real sting and the problematic part is not the staunch defence, Peggy - I think you’d expect that really from any coach. (It) was the way that he was prepared to go so personal with the way he turned on David Schwarz. Particularly given the work that clubs and clubs like yours and others have done to open up a degree of understanding about mental health issues and the like.
“People thought that was a bit rough - if your instinct is to go that place when you are in that position of being on the back foot and defending yourself, what that might reveal about the person. What do you think?”
Peggy O’Neal: “I think people are going ... a little bit stir crazy. I didn’t watch that (2000) grand final again, what happened there I’m not sure. It seems like it’s lingered through the years. I think we almost stalled on these kinds of issues because we’ve had three days without football. I just sort of think do we really need to focus on these incidents and somewhere buried in there is the Sir Doug Nicholls Round that’s coming up that’s just so exciting and it’s got very little air time compared to these types of conversations.
“I’m really disappointed to see that that’s where the conversation’s gone because it’s more provocative as opposed to the very positive story about celebrating Indigenous Australia and what they’ve brought to Australian Rules football. When David Schwarz says it’s a difference of opinion and he’s ready to put it aside, I think we’ve got to respect that too.”

Not saying Dimma should've made the 'cry' dig at the end but he clearly was peeved by Schwarz and his faux toughguy claim that he would've grabbed Lynch by the neck if he was Lynch's opponent. A coach is going to defend his player against that sort of rubbish.

How's the footage of CH7 trying to stitch our man up again?
Honestly they'll probably stick a camera in his bedroom they're so hungry for blood.
Wish he'd kicked those 2 easy ones and made a statement tonight.

I support Hardwick 100% good on him. He defends his players.

Amazingly biased commentary last night on channel 7.
In the Bellchambers Vlastuin 50 metre incident they practically said there was nothing in it.
Replace Bellchambers with Lynch and they would have bayed like hounds for Lynch’s blood.
IMO Bradshaw lost the plot and there are a raft of anti Richmond commentators not far behind him.

Richo one of these but for different reasons, just annoying that in trying not to show bias towards us he has gone so far the other way, can be excruciatingly annoying to listen to at times.
-
Although he wasnt whacked across the face, ears I certainly thought Floss cooped it on and slightly above the shoulder, that's 50 metres. For anyone suggesting he milked it hasn't copped an unexpected hit to that area, in can stun you
As for the upcoming media lynching of Tom Lynch started by Jon Ralph.
I would hope that Hurley gets cited as well for trying to hit a blokes injured hand 50 odd metres off the ball, while not looking at the play only looking at the man he's was trying to hit.
It looks like a push to me with Hurley milk the severity of the contact. Will he also get cited for that?
-
that is an utter disgrace ralphs call.
a week for what. Thats a stage from hurley.
i bet he gets a week.
high contact, medium impact = 1 week. Dogs

Here's Ralph's tweet for those that didn't see it:
‘Surely enough for a week’: Tiger Tom Lynch under fire after ANOTHER whack
August 23, 2020
by David Zita
FOX SPORTS
Richmond forward Tom Lynch could potentially be looked at by the Match Review Officer for the second week running, after an off-the-ball hit on Essendon defender Michael Hurley.
During the fourth quarter, Hurley was jostling with Lynch, before the Tigers star lashed out with a hand to the neck of the Bombers defender, who immediately remonstrated to umpires.
Play continued on, but the incident drew attention from onlookers.
Lynch whacks Mick Hurley in the neck which is officially high contact. Hard enough to be a week. Hurley looks to be whacking his hand or trying to break his hold but it’s surely enough force for a week this time. pic.twitter.com/ICj8VvlxWl
— Jon Ralph (@RalphyHeraldSun) August 22, 2020
A finding of careless conduct, low impact and high contact would result in a fine, which would be the third in two weeks for Lynch.
The 27-year-old forward drew scrutiny throughout the week after an off-the-ball hit on Gold Coast defender Sam Collins.
Lynch burst out of the blocks to start the game against Essendon before finishing with two goals and two behinds.

Dimma backs aggressive Lynch despite another potential MRO incident
By Callum Twomey
afl.com.au
23 August 2020
RICHMOND has urged Tom Lynch to continue his aggressive approach despite the key forward again likely to find himself under scrutiny from the Match Review Officer for a clash with Essendon's Michael Hurley.
Lynch was fined for two separate incidents in Monday night's clash with Gold Coast, and will be assessed again for his shove to Hurley in the last quarter of Richmond's 12-point win in the Dreamtime in Darwin contest on Saturday night.
The pair were grappling as Lynch initiated a lead but he made contact with his arm to Hurley's throat in a bid to push away from the Bombers defender.
Coach Damien Hardwick vigorously defended Lynch's physicality this week and said he wouldn't be advising caution to the key forward.
"I haven't seen it and at the end of the day, Tom plays. He plays like that. He's a hard, tough player and you saw the courage of him coming out and leading out to that ball late and the collision with [Adam] Saad. [He's a] pretty tough guy," the two-time premiership coach said post-game.
"I've been around footy a long time and I've been very fortunate enough to be at some really good organisations.
"All the good ones run the line all the time. They generally give away the most free kicks and they generally have the most reports, that's why they're a good side."
Lynch kicked two goals against Essendon in the Tigers' hard-fought win in the centerpiece of the AFL's Sir Doug Nicholls Round.

Interesting that they just happened to have a camera trained on Lynch when the play was in the opposite pocket..... :shh
-
And now an asteroid is heading towards Earth.
Waiting for the media to make this Tom Lynch's fault also.
-
Hurley should be charged for unnecessary contact to an injured player- will not happen though :banghead
-
They might as well have next games Lynch headline ready against Barrass or McGovern.
Copy paste, rinse, repeat. :rollin
-
shouldnt there be an answer by now?
-
Lynch sent to the tribunal.
-
Straight to tribunal. Will get a week now probably
-
Tom Browne said it's a cumulative charge. All 4 incidents - Witherden, Collins, Witts & Hurley - will be (re-)looked at to judge Lynch's record.
-
What the hell does that even mean?
Hahaha what a stuffin joke
-
Hawkins got off for alot worse lol.The media got what they want.
-
So the league is saying it’s own MR system is flawed, didn’t know there were carry over points.
Secondly, how can you be fined for staging when you actually get pushed in the back or whacked in the chops. Staging is only staging when the event doesn’t occur.
-
Straight to tribunal. Will get a week now probably
Not if he gets off
-
He will get a week. If they didn’t want him too then they would have given him a fine
I actually think they want him to get 2 weeks the pigs
I think it’s laughable he got sent to the tribunal for that and Hurley nothing for staging.
-
When Trash Can Barrett says it’s not worth a fine and Kane Cornes thinks it’s not worth a free kick , the incident is soft!
-
Has to be the worst stuffing decision in the history of the MRP. Clearly a directive from the top.
-
Apparently Christian took the option yo take it to tribunal he didn't have to cave in to the media and pressure.
-
So did Hurley get charged for misconduct? For trying to whack Tom's hand?
Or this week are they letting that go?
Agree with Frankie and pmac he will get a week
AFL want to send a message about who knows what and we are it
-
Has to and will get off. Absolutely nothing in it at all and should only take 5 minutes for a decision tomorrow night.
-
How does Charlie Dixon get a $500 fine for tackling a guy to the ground off the ball and then drives his elbow into his head?
-
How does Charlie Dixon get a $500 fine for tackling a guy to the ground off the ball and then drives his elbow into his head?
Because it's Port not Richmond
-
Has anyone got a link to how the cumulative points system works? Otherwise I am thinking the AFL is going to punish us for our aggressive attitude to our opponents in general and perhaps even our performance in the media last week. Looks like big Lynchy is going to be the main whipping boy and will get a week, while they have stained the careers of Vlastuin and Grimes after overlooking some absolute howlers this year. Can we get a captain's review on Paddy Dangerfield's entire career?
-
It's a "repeat offender" rule they've brought in for those that are repeatedly fined and avoid a suspension because each individual incident is below the ban threshold.
Lynch is being made the sacrifical lamb to appease the ranting hounds.
Mind you Richmond hater Cornes says there's nothing in it. As does David King and Wallace. It's mainly the Essendon sycophants (psychopaths more like it) frothing in the media.
As for Hurley: Jake Carlisle didn't get away with whacking an opponent's injured hand. The MRO just makes it up as it goes along playing a pantomime. Where was Sam Collins' punishment for punching Lynch first? No the instigators get off and are falsely labelled "victims" of those "big bad Tigers" :rolleyes.
-
Tribunal hearing begins at 5pm today.
Read somewhere Lynch will be defending himself.
-
Hurley should be fined for staging
-
SHocking should be fined for impersonating an AFL administrator and Christian fined for being a sycophant
-
Sounds like he will not be playing :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead
-
Verdict pending
-
Lynch saying he pushed away with an open hand. They (AFL) are saying it was to the throat and chin.
-
Jeff Gleeson working hard to punish Lynch.
-
Paul Williams, Shane Wakelin and Wayne Henwood are the jurors. Jeff Gleeson QC is representing the AFL. Sam Tovey is representing Richmond and Tom Lynch.
:pray

Jeff Gleeson working hard to punish Lynch.
He has more chance of inventing a COVID19 vaccine than getting Lynch suspended. The fact that supporters are worried about it being a suspension tells us that the MRP and the game under Shocking is going backwards fast

Hahahahhaha suck that you B**ches hahaha
Going to be some social media pot stirring tonight!
-
Mark Stevens said Lynch would've saved some dough too thanks to the MRO sending it to the tribunal rather than fining him. So a win on multiple levels.
-
great, now lets beat the eagles and make more of the competition hate us than they do now.
-
Benny Gale has rightly come out and called the scrutiny of Lynch outrageous. Like he's Ivan Milat.
-
So is the MRO going to send Toby Greene straight to the tribunal for punching Conca in the guts way off the ball?
I won't hold my breath.
-
I think if there was ever a player the media loved to throw under the bus it is Toby Greene.
The AFL have also changed rules because of him so he’s certainly not a protected player by any means.
