Richmond forward Tom Lynch has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023 AFL season due to the foot injury that has kept him sidelined since Round 4.

Lynch met with a surgeon and Club medical staff this week, where it was decided, the fracture had not healed to the level required to increase training loads to consider a return to playing this year.

The key forward will instead have the foot further operated on before turning his focus to returning to action in 2024.
Richmond General Manager - Football Performance Tim Livingstone said the approach would allow Lynch to return to full fitness.
“Tom is such a significant player for us, so it is important that we get this right,” he said.

“We have monitored the bone throughout the season, and the healing process has been slow - but we have not waivered from the beginning that the priority would be Tom’s long-term health.

“It is frustrating because we would love to have Tom playing for us, but even more, we want him fit and firing for the long term. This course of action has been recommended by our medical staff and will give Tom the time required to get this right for the future.”
Lynch, who won the Jack Dyer Medal as the Tigers’ best and fairest in 2022, booted nine goals from four matches in 2023.

It's funny to see that the Swans have lost a lot more games due to injuries this year than we have, something like 30 or so more. Rob Innes is obviously having his own problems up there.

This can be a somewhat misleading stat as it depends on which players have missed games.

For example, 2 Sydney rookies missing 44 games collectively isn’t worse than Tom Lynch missing 20 games. By not naming the players, it seems much worse.

Having lost 30 games by round 18 is a rough season

Let’s hope Benny is fact finding whilst “looking under the hood“as he stated earlier when our season was dire.
its still dire but in the fact our management of injuries is 2nd rate.

At least the news on Tom has been virtually consistent all year. Consistently from bad to worse.

Reasonable move on Lynch, we're not contending this year and getting Lynch back later in 2023 serves little purpose. Need to get the foot right, and that can take time as it is in this instance.

Nice they are telling us too.

Can’t see Bubkus making it back from here this year either.
Another maximised injury

On the injury report from 4 days ago, it sounded positive but who really knows?

Josh Gibcus, hamstring

"Josh is working really hard, he's putting in a great block. He's looking stronger in the gym and he's starting to increase his speed outside. He has a really important scan in two weeks' time and we'll know more then."

This was from 3 days ago:

"Shorty's jumping out of his skin to get back, as everyone would expect. He's running, things are progressing really well.... We'll see Jayden back pretty soon."

McQualter had said something in his presser that Short will miss his 4-6 weeks - I think this may have been mis-interpreted to mean 4-6 weeks more, not the standard 4 or so weeks for a hamstring. Shorty did the hammy in the Brisbane game, has missed 2 weeks and may miss one or two more by the sounds of the injury report.

Seriously, they have mismanaged several players, especially with hammies. Short looked like a standard hammy so much so that only 3 days ago Luke Meehan said this.

Jayden Short, hamstring

"Shorty's jumping out of his skin to get back, as everyone would expect. He's running, things are progressing really well.... We'll see Jayden back pretty soon.".

Now, in yesterday's presser with Mini, this is what was said. The reporter says; Short seems that his recovery might need to be pushed back a little bit, 4-6 weeks.

Mini said; With a hammy like that hard put to an exact time frame on it to start with.
He's just gonna build his build his rehab and it will be a little bit of that last couple of week period for him, it might go for 1 week or 2 weeks when he really gets back to the end of his rehab. He is progressing atm certainly been no setbacks for him and when he plays again it'll be just a wait-and-see at the end of his rehab.
