Quintin Lynch

[Ned 156]

Going to be the only one here but let's not be stupid.

Every thread I've read on here speaks of how terrible we are at presenting up the ground.

Each week we toss up whether to use Bate or Miller as a target for a guy who can take a mark, make a contest etc up the ground.

I think if we could sign Lynch to a 2 year deal for not much you'd be so unbelievably naive to turn it down.

One: Judging on VFL Watts is currently being used as a running wingman suggesting he's not going to be the huge KPF we had hoped for. A dominating half forward flank appears to be what Bailey thinks he will be.

Regardless Lynch's physical dominance would alleviate an enormous amount of pressure of him and our other young players.

If a team gets very physical at the moment we just don't have that player.

All he would do was too put extra pressure on our young forwards to earn their spot!

We could ask him to go AFL draft and pick him up in the 60's. Don't see any negative.

Feel free to disgaree

Couldn't agree more. We need a big unit who can intimidate the oppoosition and belt people as needed to protect the young guys. At present, only Jamar is capable of doing that and he could do with some help. I wouldn't turn him down. Can kick a goal from the centre square to boot.

An Eagles fan on BigFooty had the user name "Lynch drops another mark" when the Eagles were at the peak of their powers.

I hope that by the time the next draft comes around, we will have forgotten that Lynch ever existed, and we will have seen enough development in Martin and Watts, and possibly Fitz and Gawn, to get us even more excited about the future.

I strongly agree with sentiments above. We should be looking into our own- we recruited talls for positions- CHF,FF,RUCK. If Meeson & PJ do not cut it at years end then we may have to another couple of talls- best place to look is VFL. Making up numbers in VFL currently on AFL lista are: Brown, Dawes, Reid at Collingwood. Vardy & Johnson at Geelong. Mullligan at Western Bulldogs.Stanley & Lynch at St Kilda. Knowing that some of these are contracted, some may want to part ways with their clubs as they are not getting a go.

I believe Gawn has the makings of a STAR- another Sandilands,more like a Salmon but bigger build but more flexible athletic type. Or look at some of the excluded types similar to Podsy at Geelong.I do not feel that Lynch should be excluded.

From what i have herd and seen - Quintin Lynch is not getting a game at West Coast and does not seem to be getting along with the coach. Having said this i reckon it mite not be such a bad idea to try and grab him at the end of the year. He would be a good inclusion down at our struggling forward line and help jack watts and liam jurrah develop and play against the much bigger bodies. your thoughts?

No. He'll waste our time taking off his glove and slow up our break neck pace.

Is it the big Q ?.the one who throws the glove off like a WWF finishing manouver when he lines up for goal? Yeh i may have him confused. There was some other mature age FF that the Weagles had for a while.

That was Troy Wilson, who was also a man mountain and played a handful of decent games. I think he kicked a bag of 6 or 7 against the Saints one time.
