Harry McKay big trouble

[CURLY]

Elbow to the head has to be three weeks. We have them in two so massive for us.

[SaintPav]

I thought I saw he’s been offered one week.

No chance he elbowed a North player in the head. Surely the AFL won’t stick us up.

That’s what’s been reported

[mr six o'clock]

Of course it's only one
The boys at head office what the blues right up there this year

[Sainternist]

lol Any bets he gets a slap on the wrists. He plays for Carlton. These days, the AFaiL are doing all they can to help bring them success!

[CURLY]

Has to be minimum two otherwise the AFL has again proven they cheat.

[Scollop]

Not starting a new thread but..

Richmond's Tom Lynch needs to cop a suspension.

Lynch went the bump on Alex Keath and Keath was subbed out in the first quarter with concussion.

I remember in 2020 when Lynch smashed the back of Ben Paton's head with his elbow in our semi final. Ben was so brave to stand his ground. He copped a huge hit which split the skin and had him off the ground for an extended period.

He's a dirty c*** and he's escaped several times by pretending he's clumsy in marking contests

[The_Dud]

lol, there’s allllllways something

[CURLY]

When’s Richmond play StKilda.

[magnifisaint]

There was nothing in the McKay incident. The guy is 6'10 and the other guy is 6'0. A bit clumsy.

Shhh. Of course you're right, but don't you realise that you're spoiling other people's fun!

[King Max]

When’s Richmond play StKilda.

Round 14. If he gets less than 10 weeks we know the AFL are against us.

[amusingname]

Has to be minimum two otherwise the AFL has again proven they cheat.

It’s more clearly cheating in the Saints favor if that were to get two weeks. Is one week at most, hardly any force.

Correct
Lynch is a sniper
Needs to be rubbed out
Hardwick pathetic attempt to defend him in presser was embarrassing

[CQ SAINT]

Isn't Harry risking 2 weeks if his appeal gets thrown out. They should give him 3 if he loses the appeal.

[Devilhead]

It was super low impact

If it was one of our guys we would be arguing that they should get off

Reckon he will get off

[Devilhead]

And ....... he gets off

[B.M]

Star player at a big club

Always going to get off

Having said that - not a lot in it

What do you think of Lynch getting away with what he did?

Is the AFL endorsing that a player has no duty of care when they are in the act of running towards a marking contest?

He is a professional athlete who is totally in control of his arms and he knows what he's doing

It gives him a licence to continue crashing into anyone in his way and it doesn't matter whether they get concussed

[Scollop]

Mckay didn't knock out Sheezle. Sheezle wasn't concussed

With Lynch, I cannot understand how he gets off.

Should Alex Keath have not contested the mark? Should Alex Keath have had his fist out pointed towards Lynch's head to try and 'protect himself'?

Everything we've heard about concussion and all the suspensions in the early rounds are meaningless if they can't be consistent about protecting players

[Scollop]

If the Neanderthals running the show can get their tiny peanuts around the concept of 'protecting the head' maybe they'll prevent a few extra players getting CTE

...and prevent any future harm to their families (who have to go through it all) and the innocent public who become possible and potential victims

[Devilhead]

The Lynch incident was problematic cause in the end he went past the ball and didn't contest the mark and hit the player with considerable force

If he contested the mark or at least tried to (ie: put his hands up) then 0 weeks

Because he didn't contest the mark then at least 1 week should have been given .... probably 2.

There have now been about 4 incidents that Lynch has been cleared which could have easily drawn a suspension ... same with Crotchin.

I am sure if it was a Saints player they wouldn't be playing this weekend

[saynta]

Paddy got two weeks from just standing still. so yes, the Tribunal is a f****** joke.
