The Tom Lynch Thread

TOM LYNCH

Along with Lucas Cook, he will be one of the KPF likely to left on the board at pick 12 and potentially worthy of that pick.

Any thoughts..?

looks ggood, would be a project player, seem pretty good below the knee's... At 196cm could he possibly play ruck and free up a jack Fitz to go FWD???

[jayceebee31 761]

Definatey a project player whom I feel will be picked up around pick 22 or later.

Pending results at draft camp, pick 12 may be a bit early if we go for best available. Probably mid to late teens.

[Adzman 2,154]

Not sure. Watched the link, he is a project and could take a number of years to develop. Looks alright though.

[Bay Riffin 1,474]

underwhelming highlights package I must say.

Nothing in it gives me anything to get excited about. I hope that was highlights of one game, because there were few highlights in that.

Right...

So, draft a KPF to play in the ruck, so that the ruckman we drafted last year can play up forward?

Interesting drafting strategy.

Why does everyone keep saying Fitzpatrick is a ruck? Is it his height? Must all 2m players automatically play in the ruck first and foremost? Ask the kid, he'll tell you he's a forward. Ask the club, they'll tell you the same thing. The guy they drafted last year to play ruck is called MAX GAWN. You may have noticed him? Really tall guy, hasn't played much because of his knee?

Can we please not draft anybody purely because they have grown to a certain size?? Bad footballers are bad footballers regardless of size.

Probably because he often played ruck in juniors and has been playing in the ruck for Casey.

I fully expect him to be a forward who can go into the ruck, at AFL level.

I was more leaning towards questioning the wisdom of drafting a forward to play as a ruckman.

[Grandson of a gun 276]

Again nothing that looked great in the highlights. But a bit taller than Darling and again could be worth a punt a bit later in the draft.

[Keyser Söze 0]

My favourite KPP so far.

I'd take him with pick 12 if he was still there, obviously depending on who else is left on the board.

Graeme Yeates rates him very highly fwiw. Draft combine results will be interesting. But I reckon if he's anything special GC will surely snap him up before we even get a look in, with the 512 picks they have before our 1st..

I reckon gc will have a number of kpf so won't need him. He kicked four in an elimination final and one of rhe best player in tac cup, so he is finishing the season well. I reckon he is really shooting up the rankings and we might seriously look at him with pick 12.

Underwhelmed as well with that "highlights" package.

JCB31, who could we get with pick 18?

Agreed - Fitzpatrick is versatile but I dont see him as essentially a ruckman.

[furious d 464]

He's been tearing it up in the TAC finals. He'll test well at draft camp too. Wouldn't be surprised to see him rated around the top 10 by draft time.

[Swampfox 190]

Well i suppose we have enough Jacks so its probably a good policy to start collecting Tom,s

Wow Tom has grown to 199.1cm, super agile, great skills, great mark.

My wish for him slipping to pick 12 are growing fainter by the minute.

Darling and Cook closely behind

I'm not too stressed, cos I can see no matter who gets taken in the 11 picks before us, we'll be left with a gem.

But by god, I hope we end up with Tom Lynch.

[BLWNBA 1,004]

Not the best highlights package and judging on that I'd say he looks very raw. Showed some athleticism and good composure at times but let himself down numerous times. This kid could be a player but will require some work. The kids got some size, and if he were to produce the thought of having him down next to Wattsy is very tempting

[No16 1]

Lynch, Cook or Darling for me. All three look very good forward prospects.

If all three are taken before our first pick the best available may not be a KPP... Maybe we should try and trade into the late teens of the draft so that we can definately take best available with our first pick then based on needs with our second...
