Lynch !!

Hmmm that's what I thought would happen with Dusty but, we all know transpired.

This one was ruled insufficient force. Of course he had the right jumper on at the time.

Sicily is a *smile* and I'm glad he lost.

Pay it in 5 cent coins.

Will going after Lynch and his price tag cost us retainingg some of these kids in 2-3 years?

Absolutely so we need another flag in the next 2 years to show it was a good deal!

Think he may kick a bag this week.

Some of our older players will start to retire in 2-3 years you would imagine, even if it's 4 , there will be a few around the same stage & they are all on decent money. So at some stage we will have plenty of cap space

Reckon Balmey and crew will have all this well calculated and organised via their spreadsheets and general forward planning.

Lynch has a contract that starts low and increases over the length of the contract. Martin has a contract that is front end loaded. So as Martin's contract reduces Lynch's increases. So we will have two players taking up about $1.75m to $2m for the next 5 years. Approximately what the salary cap increased for this year.

There would have been a salary cap squeeze at some point regardless of getting Lynch or not. We will not be able to match big offers for free agents like Ellis. However if the free agents stay for less money then the pressure to keep the "kids" will increase.

But it has to be part of our system. Draft in good quality kids, put the development into them. Then keep the really good ones and trade out the others for picks, which we then use to upgrade our normal picks. Then we rinse and repeat by drafting in more good quality kids.

We should draft more duds so we don't have to put up with this problem. I miss old Richmond.

Given how our kids are performing at present I can’t see a salary cap issue on the horizon.

If we have class coming through the system then we won’t get sucked into paying overs for aging stars and if they leave we have the replacements ready.

Looking good I reckon

we've had obstacles in recent years. we were paying Maric, Hampson, Deledio and Yarran decent money while none of them were playing for us for differing reasons. And we were able to retain our stars while bringing in the big fish in Lynch. a $12 million salary cap is a lot of money to spread around, even if $2 million of it is being shared by 2 players. We will be fine. I'm tipping we are in a much better position than collingwood.

Dimma said yesterday that Lynch was only doing the 1 x full training session per week but should be doing the 2 x prior to the bye which will further build his fitness.

Not going too bad if he is only at 70% or so.

Lynch could be massive in the second half of the season if he can increase his aerobic capacity. Having a tall with a tank to get up the ground and regularly take those big marks when the high ball comes out of defence will be awesome (i’m Thinking in the Nick Riewoldt mould).

 

[TGM]

Two years ago Lynch was rightly anointed the next great forward of the competition. Two years of injuries have degraded his value and we got him for massive unders. If he stays fit and we don't get decimated by injuries we win 2 of the next 4 flags IMO.

Maybe we should have done a Carlton 4 player for 1 deal for GWS rejects

The best of lynch will come if not latter this year but in the future he will be a 60+ goal kicker for us.
Training will increase and his confidence will lift will every session.
Nothing to worry about
