Lynch !!
- Thread starter Tigaman
- Start date
He seems very top heavy, big upper body and smaller legs. Do some squats Lynchy, time to get a big arse
Yeah ToO this is my major concern also. I wonder if a move away from the goal square might by him some space. More a traditional CHF role might break the shackles for him and give him some much needed confidence.
My current fave non Tiger is Aaron Naughton, love his attack on the footy, just throws himself at every contest. This is what I have always wanted from Tom. We got it often in 2019, at times in 2020 and rarely since.
I saw Tom last week take a mark or two up the ground in space, looked much better in space. Dimma has said a couple of times that he plays a role, if that role is tying down a couple of defenders then I reckon its time has passed and he should play more up the ground. Whatever his role is at the moment it isn't working.

The key difference is Naughton is 22 years old. Tom is 30 this year. There's a chance we've seen his best.
Regardless if we have or not, the trade was worth it. We've won two flags & I'd make that trade again every day of the week.
Absolutely correct on all fronts. If ten years of struggle is the price to pay for 2017-2020 I’m ok with that.
Think we've seen the best of Lynch.
But who cares he got us to the 19GF
And played his part in both GF's.

I don’t profess to know but this is how his exit was reported by Fox:
Gold Coast young gun Touk Miller says the Tom Lynch exit meeting is a ‘line in the sand moment’

Line in the sand for them to get even worse than they already were?
He does look somewhat unco at times, but he is also playing in a side with a stack of blokes that are poor kicks of the footy.
Remembering though he is nearing 30 and is 2 m tall with some significant knee issues of recent years and hand issues.
Tom has already paid for himself.
He has been bashed and belted as a result of the RFC game plan.
In fact he paid the RFC back in 2019 when he carried us on his back for the first 12 -13 weeks of the season
He has 2 flags at the RFC and we were hoping for 1 more when he came to the club.
The footy dept did their homework.
We kicked the ball much better to Lynch tonight & he was launching at the ball.
I thought he was massive in the win.

Yep, delivery into the forward line is critical for a player like Lynch. If he is always in the middle of 3 opponents he won't do much.
Still want to see more separation from our forwards but tonight Lynch had that tiny bit more space and showed why we got him in the first place.

I think the biggest thing for Tom, and the thing I have been most critical of is his inability to make space or get one on one. Tonight he did it and it worked.
One on one he is a nightmare match up for most defenders but it’s up to him to put the work in to create those opportunities.
More games like this from the big fella puts us right back into top 4 contention. That’s how important he is to us.
I care. Paying him for current performance not past. And last night is the bar.
Well he sacrificed instant top dollar so the team could have more success.As for the bar set last night.Won't be very often where he's up against an undersized defence.Did his job last night no doubt.
The only justification youll ever need is the 2019 Prelim.
