Lynch !!

Looks a lot more dangerous player when he is marking the ball , then going back to take a shot

In general play with ball in hand it looks at times like with a lot of talls, the mind knows what the right play is , but the body is slow to react , particularly with handballs
 
His marking confidence is low. When he does get a clear run his mitts are letting him down. He has got good hands, just busting through at the moment. Kicking for goal, I watched him and Castagna 30 min before the back, L2 Lockett end, directly behind the goals. Im no goal kicking expert but I did notice Naish and Rioli v Geroge and Tom. The one thing I could tell was the good kickers (Rioli and Naish) did not swing the ball left and right on their approach into goal. Tom especially is moving the ball all over the place in his approach to goal. I roughly counted 1 goal 5 misses for Tom 1 goal 6 misses for Castagna, all shots around 35-45m out slight angles. Just got to keep practicing lads

I reckon Lynch would be so much better with 2 other talls around him on the forward line. (Reiwoldt and CCJ/Chol). Means defenders can't drop off as easily. Look at the successful teams atm - Melbum - talls everywhere in forward line (McDonald, Brown, Weidmann) Geelong (Hawkins, Cameron, Ratagulea) Brisbane (Daniher, Hipwood, McStay) West Coast (Kennedy. Darling, Allen). Port (Dixon, Georgiadis, Marshall) Only us and the Dogs seem to be going with only 2. The other difficulty is we then push 1 (or even 2 at times) extra mids up from the forward line leaving only 4 forwards, way too easy to defend.

An extra tall forweard would also alleviate the workload from Nank who is going to wear out very quickly!

Does anyone know if we are the most "flooded" against team inside fwd 50?

Maybe it's confirmation bias but it seems we always have one of the most congested fwd lines. It's no wonder Punchy finds it so hard to clunk one.
 
This is an example of one of the problems we have on our forward line at the moment.

Wouldn't say this is a problem - it's what Dimma would want from Lynch - absorbing 4 players in the air and bringing it to ground. This is our game plan.

We'd have the outnumber on the ground and players like Edwards, Lambert and Bolton would feast on this situation.

Read my follow up post.
 
Don't worry about Lynch and all these dropped marks and two grab efforts. The fantastic R&D team at the wonderful Drofder Enterprises are working on a solution. Can't say too much other than the Drofder RH1919's will revolutionise the game and Lynch and Richmond will be the first to benefit.

Drofder is venturing out of shoes and into gloves? Or is it some form of grippo alternative?
 
I'd go so far as to say how well Lynch plays this week will go a long way towards our fortunes.
A reminder he did not play last time we met..

I would expect Andrew would go to Lynch which probably leaves Marcus Adams to play on Jack. Jack will rip Adams a new one if left one on one, both in the air and with his ground left smarts. All we need from Lynch is to keep Andrews out of Jack's way (which he hasn't done very well last couple of weeks). Need a selfless game from Lynch which will mean people will bemoan his lack of marks/scores but the bigger picture is key.

Well, we sold out to Adidas on the shoe front some years ago (those Ultra Boost shoes....all Drofder developed), but yes BrisVegas, we are still at the cutting edge of performance enhancing sports equipment. The Rubber Hands 1919's will turn the game on its head. Here's a sneak peek of our prototype (good for driving long distances too I might add).

If he plays well, we win, and happens to clumsily collect Robinson in a contested marking 'attempt'..... oh what a night it will be!

Wow, I think someone might have ripped off your IP. I'm sure I've seen similar gloves on advertising banners when I have accidentally clicked on links to Pornhub videos
 
Can't fault Tom's efforts, just wish he had Jack's footy smarts. He gets caught when he takes possession or tries to, when a deft little tap or toe poke like Jack does would be the better option.

It's a constant battle for us.

Anyway, when Rubber Hands kicks 6 on Friday night you can all thank me.

is that your actual hand?
 
Harris "third man up" Andrews is going to have a field day unless Punchy can stick a knee into his torso.

Noticing more and more that Punchys man will body him and basically impede his run at the ball with the floating defender or two getting an easy mop up.
