Go to the 7.10 mark

Club just needs to argue that he was trying to keep his arm from being tackled so he could handball.

No other way to take possession safely.

Hopefully just a fine if anything.

Incidental contact  move on.

Nothing in it. He collected the ball and the other clumsy player ran into his elbow.

Dangerfield’s smash of Vlaustin was much much worse than this and no one had anything to say nor did the MRP think it was worthy of any scrutiny.

Kane Cornes commentary on this is laughable but not unexpected as he hates Tom. 

[WilliamPowell]

Going out on a limb there, WP.

No, I've backed and defended him all season, especially early on when people wanted him gone and were constantly criticising him and his pay packet.

Hence, my comment a very good se as on so far

Surprised no one posted this. Lynch has been cleared.


Incident assessed:

The incident involving Richmond's Tom Lynch and Hawthorn's Jarman Impey from the third quarter of Saturday's match between Richmond and Hawthorn was assessed.

Lynch takes possession of the loose ball on the wing. Impey approaches to tackle from side on and high contact is made by Lynch on Impey.

It was the view of the Match Review Officer that Lynch's actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances.

No further action was taken.

I just thought it was an obvious statement to say the Coleman leader who has been BOG 3 weeks in a row...has had a good year.

Like yeah dude...obviously.

The last 3 weeks is the thing

Prior to that alot on here wanted him gone.... I didn't 

Now the same folks are gushing over him

I never wanted him “gone” but he’s certainly making me look quite silly at the moment.

I have defended him plenty over the years too but I think it's good people are giving him credit now that he's stepped up massively the past month. That's what you want from supporters. It would be a lot worse if everyone didn't get behind him and just talked about the bad performances of the past.

that's true 

[Andyy]

I've suggested trying to trade him but the reality is for two years straight he played crap footy.

He's looking like recapturing his 2019 form and I'm sure I've said that would be a different story.


Anyway I am glad for him and hope he keeps it up. Appears to be a massive confidence player. I don't expect 6-7 goals every week but for a million plus each year you'd want at least half that.

Robbo: How does Lynch escape Toby Tax?

If the AFL is serious about cracking down on head-high knocks, then the league had to treat Tom Lynch in the same way that it treats Toby Greene, writes Mark Robinson.
