Lynch !!

Here we going again.
Slow news week. What can we talk about?? hmmm

McNaughtons 6 goals, naa it was only against Adelaide.
Geelong beating port, its 4 days old now.
Carlton final siren goal? He went through it yesterday.
Simpson’s falcon?
hey A Richmond player did something that will get him a fine.
Ok lets run with it. Get production to show 12 months of undispline. Hey, they haven’t had a suspension since last April.
Ok have we got 45 different views of it??

tooo many news oulets covering the same story.
Richmond and Collingwood sell papers, Makes the news.

theyre making out like Lynch is a thug, but they have no history.

This is bigger news in Melbourne currently then that little weasel Gaffs punch to the kids face.
Its all forgiven for Gaff, he is a star. No reference’s to his one punch.

Don’t worry about the mainstream media. How about a few on here who were only too happy to hang the Lynchpin (the usual righteous suspects)
I'm in the camp he needs to pull his head in. Focus aggression towards the ball and in play. Not making out his gunna hit someone, jumper tugging schoolyard push and shove antics. He should be a leader but let's himself down. Plenty out there including tiger supporters who feel the same.

Think David Schwarz summed it up pretty well that if he keeps up the niggle someone will line him up as he aint no Dermie ,Bazza Hall or Plugger who could take a hit.
Really? Reckon Tommy could handle himself okay. And just who would be the fearsome tough opposition player who would line him up? Matthew Suckling?
 
Watching AFL 360 you would think Lynch was Jack the Ripper. I find the tearing down of Lynch quite irresponsible. Not to mention a crock of dog poo.

Yep tuned in for the first time in a while and viewed what can only be described as a hatchet job; both on Lynch and the Richmond Football Club. Mincey and Yobbo made fools of themselves.

Mincey should stick to watching his daughters play netball and Yobbo should stay in the pub.

fantastic bit of work Oldy :bash
Yeah it reminded me of the Dylan Grimes witch hunt at the end of last year. Remember poor little Harley rider Charlie Cameron crying because that meanie Grimey kept on holding him in the last game of the year and he couldn't get a kick? Then the geriatric coach and the media jumped on board and ran with it every day until the first final in Brisbane?

And then someone posted a photos of Grimes and Charlie and guess what; Charlie is holding Grimey's jumper :rotfl2 It may have even been Oldie who posted it. And I think the photo made it into the HUN and/or the AFL website :rotfl2

2019 saw a lot of teams come at lynch, sicily springs to mind and trying to put him off his game. Lynch looks like he sick of it and not taking it anymore. I dont think its a great look but if that was the only one thrown over the whole round id be very surprised.
 
Lynch just needs to refocus on the ball and hitting every contest. Doesn't have to mark everything but makes sure he gets to every contest he can and has an impact. That's toughness to me.

Defend himself if provoked but focus on what he's best at.

Where was the media assasination of Tom Hawkins when he elbowed a guy to the face???

Oh no, that was, oh he didn't mean it , he didn't hit him hard, blah, blah, blah.

Its hard to think there isn't some sort of vendetta for the club when it appears that only our guys are character assasinated in the media for things other clubs do.

Look at Rance / Grimes, name anyone else who has received that attention for the media for putting mayo on something??

What about the Gary Ablett farce last year? Elbowing guys 3 weeks in a row, I don't recall him being lambasted like this in the media?

The major footy shows leading with this - OTC, 360 & now SEN having this as the lead/major issue? Wow.

And they wonder what's wrong with the game? Perhaps there's nothing wrong with the game, perhaps its those reporting on it that are the issue?

I reckon this might just steel the group a fraction more.

David Schwarz?
The Sam guy that got creamed pied in the face by Sam Newman on the footy show?

Always laugh how some ex players puff their chest out and suddenly become these tough guys.
Schwartz is well qualified to talk about goose of the year.

(PS - I don't mind the ox)

it will. you have wonder why the Media don't realise the kind of club we are ... what doesn't kill you, and all that ..
