Lynch !!

Here's a query, does Lynch lead too hard and fast for rfc... he makes good lines and space... but the delivery seems to be constantly a foot too high when he meets the ball... which is amazing considering how big he is. So are mids misjudging where he will meet the ball or is he leading to hard and going under good delivery?
 
Lynch has a real timing problem IMO.Too many times he gets well under the ball irrespective of the delivery
 
His form hasn't been what he is capable of but he has played an important role in drawing the best defender and bringing the ball to ground. His recruitment has been particularly important with Jack going down. We got a look in the last quarter what a forward line with out Lynch or Jack in would be like and it wasn't great. The ball bounced out of there pretty easily.

Good post. He is not quite as good a mark as i thought he was but structurally vital.

Could it be his body isn't letting him jump quite as high as his brain is accustomed?
 
seems to me that teams are really targeting Lynch with lots of off the ball niggle.....seems like a really frustrated player at times. Without Towner in the forward line or Caddy for longer periods, there's no one else making the opposition defenders look over their shoulders and Lynch cops it all.
 
Can’t get Riewoldt back quick enough to help him out. Lynch isn’t playing anywhere near his best right now but it has to be said that thre delivery inside 50 is atrocious at the moment.

The delivery into fed 50 has been like that for a long time I reckon.

It makes you realise how good Jack is when he isn’t there

Delivery was shocking but many of our players aren't skilled enough to hit a low hard ball to a leading target. Stack showed how it's done and Martin brings out the weapon on occasion. Our delivery forward has been woeful but remember that's partly our game plan, to get it to ground and create chaos. Didn't work well last night.
 
Never appears to be just 1 on 1 with him. Whether he is getting double teamed or just not running to the correct spots. But most of the time he is launching about 2 or 3 deep.
