Long night for Brown, Lynch

Brisbane centre-half-forward Jonathan Brown is facing a potentially massive suspension at the AFL tribunal on Thursday night after being cited on video evidence on Tuesday for striking Port's Josh Carr during Saturday's AFL grand final.

And retiring Lions' full-forward Alastair Lynch has been booked on six counts of either striking or attempting to strike Darryl Wakelin - following his much-publicised toe-to-toe dust-up with the Port full-back during the first quarter of the premiership decider.

Wakelin has also been reported by video reports officer Ian Robinson with one count of attempting to strike Lynch.

Brown has also been booked for wrestling Carr while the tough little Port rover will face charges of wrestling not only Brown but also Brad Scott.

Brisbane's champion midfielder Simon Black will also face the tribunal to answer a striking charge laid on the day of the game on Port's Damien Hardwick while Lynch will also face a wrestling charge.

No mention of Ackermanis biting anyone so I would asume he has been cleared. It did look ugly, though.

If looking ugly was against the rules Akermanis would have been well drummed out of the game by now. And Kevin Bartlett's career would have been cut at least 400 games short.

Nor any mention of Cornes punching Brown's sore knee.

Guess it will be a long time before Jonathan is seen back at the Gabba (and fair enough too) I think some anger counselling following his suspension and then 6 weeks playing at AFLQ level may help. Something certainly has too!

How's it going Gorilla Girl? At least you've won three out of four. My mob lost the lot in the 90's and I would have been happy with one! Keep your chin up.

Its amazing that every bloke this supposed tough guy has hit seems to be 5ft (carr, hulme, shaw), not sure what that says, but not tough in my books, just a grub.

Lynch to face seven charges
By Karen Lyon
September 29, 2004

The repercussions from Saturday's grand final continued yesterday with the AFL laying another 11 charges against five players. Retiring Brisbane Lions star Alastair Lynch will now face an extraordinary seven charges from his first-quarter bout with Port Adelaide defender Darryl Wakelin.

Lynch's seven charges are the most faced by one player since St Kilda's Robert Muir had his career ended in 1984.

But, for the Lions, Jonathan Brown's two reports present the biggest concern as he faces a lengthy sentence after four tribunal visits in 12 months.

Further charges were laid yesterday against Wakelin, Brownlow medallist Simon Black and Port Adelaide midfielder Josh Carr.

Another Brisbane Brownlow medallist, Jason Akermanis, is still under investigation by the AFL after appearing to bite Port Adelaide's Shaun Burgoyne during the grand final

Brown also hit Chris Grant (earnt himself 4 weeks), and though he's not a dirty player I wouldn't be trying to make him mad (a West Coast bloke found out what can happen then, in the aftermath of the Subi brawl last round 94), and if I was building a case against Brown I wouldn't even bother mentioning Darren Hulme. That report was an absolute joke.

Hi REB, I'm doing really well, I even met some very nice Geelong supporters in Melbourne. They were, like me, hoping the Lions would win but not to be this year.

Have no fear this chin is as tough as old boots! lol

...all Geelong supporters are nice Lucy :)
