He only gets off if they throw out the charge completely. I don't see any downgrade from careless, severe impact, high contact.
Lynch is a sniper. There are other players I would give benefit of the doubt that they were clumsy (Ben Brown) or protecting themselves but not him.
The AFL, given Lynch will have a few weeks off anyway, IMHO will probably suspend him for three in order to make a point.
The AFL are big into appearing to do the right thing.
I don't think there is any doubt that Lynch ceased to be contesting the ball. and chose contact to his advantage as the next option.
In regards to players getting injured and out for weeks making the suspension pretty null and void, would it be a good idea that they serve the suspension after being out with injury ?
Harry McKay has won his appeal at the tribunal
Tom Lynch has won his case at the tribunal.
Chairman Jeff Gleeson said Lynch intended to fly for the mark and once he realised he misjudged it, kept his eyes on the ball and then braced for contact.
"He did not bump and he did not engage in rough conduct," Gleeson said.
thats complete rubbish that he gets off.
I saw the replay and it was a deliberate, intentional elbow to the head.
AFL doing all it can to help Carlton make the finals.
See the first picture in the article with macKay, no eyes for the ball
