Superstar ahead Tom Lynch will head to the AFL Tribunal the place he faces not less than a three-week ban for his bump that concussed Western Bulldog defender Alex Keath.
Richmond’s Lynch crunched Keath within the Tigers’ five-point loss, his bump dominated careless conduct, excessive contact and extreme affect, triggering the tribunal listening to and a minimal three-game ban.
He’s anticipated to argue he was attacking the ball in a marking contest and had his eyes on the ball.
Any suspension will not affect Lynch, given he broke his foot within the loss and would require surgical procedure earlier than he returns to the park.
No timeline has been set on his return however he is a two-month minimal restoration time.
Tigers coach Damien Hardwick argued post-game Lynch shouldn’t have any case to reply as he had been making an attempt to mark the ball, bristling when informed commentators had taken challenge with the collision.
Former Hawthorn champion Jason Dunstall, who was calling the match, doubled down in his evaluation Lynch was in hassle on Monday night time.
“You can only be clumsy so often, and so deliberately clumsy so often,” the Fox Footy commentator mentioned.
“He’ll be in trouble … because he doesn’t contest the ball.
“(Hardwick) is getting slightly bit cranky as a result of issues aren’t going in accordance with plan, however what I do love about him is he at all times goes into bat for his gamers.”
Carlton’s Harry McKay might also head to the tribunal to fight a one-match ban he was given for striking North Melbourne starlet Harry Sheezel.
His hit was judged as careless, medium impact and high contact, but it’s been suggested the Blues might challenge the impact grading.
Match review findings from Easter Monday’s clash between Geelong and Hawthorn could feature a number of charges, including against Hawks ruck Lloyd Meek.
Meek kneed Geelong’s Mark Blicavs at a first-quarter ruck contest, with Cats coach Chris Scott saying post-game the “harmful” action needs to be taken out of the game.
Former Melbourne champion Garry Lyon agreed and said Meek should be cited, adding he “hated” the kneeing motion.
Blicavs was taken from the field after hurting his ribs but returned to the game.
“You cannot simply be stationary on the bottom and chuck your knee up, there’s all types of organs there which are harmful,” Lyon informed Fox Footy.
“If this can be a pure footy motion we’re in all types of hassle.”
