Tom Lynch is free to play (but won't due to injury). The Tribunal is not satisfied this constitutes rough conduct.

"He did not bump and he did not engage in rough conduct."

Gotta ask where are they going to hang his head on the spike to make sure no one else does such dastardly deeds.
Nothing like a head on a spike to make the common folk think twice.!!!!

Ah bugger no spike no hang draw or quarter no gore some one has to be accountable for this.

Common sense at the tribunal

I wonder if the AFL will appeal? They would be ropeable where as they should simply be embarrassed by this entire schemozzle

In all seriousness yes a bit of common sense at last. Dont hold your breath though, or  your gunna choke to death. these clowns have no idea and stupidity is already raising its head as we speak.

That was just desperate and embarrassing from the AFL counsel. The AFL had nothing but a trumped-up charge that defied all the actual evidence. It should never have been sent to the tribunal in the first place. Another Michael Christian roulette special ::). Seriously, he needs to go as MRO.

Reasons via Tribunal:

On certain views of this vision, Lynch's actions appear quite problematic. He did not ultimately attempt to mark the ball and his shoulder came into forceful contact with Alex Keath’s head, causing a concussion.

Considering all of the evidence, including importantly Lynch's cogent and emphatic evidence, including all of the various angles of vision, we are not clearly satisfied that this was rough conduct.

The vision supported Lynch's evidence that his eyes never left the ball and that his line towards the ball never deviated. We find Lynch intended to fly for the mark, realised he had misjudged at the moment he was committed to jumping, saw a Bulldogs player in his peripheral vision and rotated and braced for contact. This version of events is supported by the fact Lynch did not have clenched fists, not follow through with force and intends to pull his body in, in a way consistent with a brace for contact, not a bump.

Marking contests such as this present a number of challenges for players. The ball was kicked in long and high. Players are all aware there will be a pack-type aerial contest. All flight can be misjudged and leaps mistimed.

It is not careless for a player to do no more than brace for contact in those circumstances.

As we’ve repeatedly said, players must do all that they reasonably can to minimise the risk of head injuries to other players. If we found Lynch had not genuinely braced for contact, had not had eyes for the ball, likely deviated, we would have had little hesitation in upholding the charge.

In the event, he did not bump. He did not engage in rough conduct.

The media have been feral about this. Interestingly, those that were the worse have been silent since the not guilty verdict.


Interesting to hear a Geelong FC employee (Josh Jenkins) on radio saying Tom Lynch should get suspended.
