have to admit it was unnecessary for him to do so.
Perhaps similar to Fyfe incident, but another ballpark to Douglas' snipe. Will probably get a game or two, which is ridiculous but so was the Fyfe suspension. Reckon the bloke tackling Lynch is more responsible for the head contact, unwittingly, and I hope Melbourne fight it and win.
Yep Melbourne have to fight this and IMO if he gets games all players may as well gridiron style helmets. They are clearly the next logical steps for players to avoid suspensions and head injuries. Is that what the AFL wants?
Viney was only protecting himself, had he chose to tackle instead of bump he would've opened himself up and been split down the middle much like Dangerfield was by Gia.
