To think Cotchin got off his cheap jumper punch earlier in the season, and still entitled to win the Brownlow, and now Red getting singled out by the MRP, coming in to bat for his mate, where two players are jostling with an equal show of strength is simply unjust.
Lynch being an AFL golden boy coupled with Red carrying some unfounded 'media' image as a hulking aggressor with minimal media profile was the super easy option for the AFL to lay a charge on him - now interested in apparent jumper punches.
