Quinten Lynch

[thaipantsman 180]

No doubt we'd be chasing - as i've said before Neeld is very clear about the need for two power forwards (as is Malthouse and Buckley for that matter). Collingwood have Dawes and now Cloke and probably not much space in their cap. Blues would have to be favourites to get him given the Malthouse factor and the far greater chance of playing finals, which at his age is obviously going to be a big factor. The blues probably also have the cash.

Still we could probably outbid the blues and even perhaps offer him a 3 year contract? I reckon Neeld could be pretty persuasive and Lynch would get to play along side Clark. He would also get to play a bunch of games at the G

here's an idea and think about it seriously. how about we make Lynch exempt from the Cuts .

dont want him, dont rate him.

I actually dont really rate Cloke either because when things are tough and at Melbourne they are always tough.. he wouldnt perform

what a strange confusing comment about Mitch.

No worries, will do. Only one problem - i have no idea what you are talking about!

Has apparently signed with Collingwood for 2 years... Rumour announced by Richo on the GF pre show...

[beelzebub 22,308]

No one can sign anything yet !!

Just like no trades are being done hey... It's a bit naive to think hands aren't being shaken at this time of year, sure no signatures til trade week, but pretty sure meetings are being had all over the place

[beelzebub 22,308]

Deals might be close...for sure. Repeat..nothing can be signed.

Oh thats right Clark is at Freo isnt he ?

[stuie 7,374]

You did notice the word "rumour" yeah?

[rolly 149]

According to Barrett on Triple M  it's Collingwood out in front for Lynch, Chris Knights 99% Richmond's and Byrne's probably to off to Melbourne ...

Nooooooo!

Herald Sun reports Carlton, Collingwood and Dees interested. Surely we wouldn't be interested in a 29 year old. Good top up for the other clubs though.

Yeaah!

[beelzebub 22,308]

Intresting as first time Dees been mentioned .

[ILLDieADemon 804]

I heard he has signed to collingwood already.

[angrydee 842]

He has not signed with anybody. But he has wlked out on WC. I heard that he thought their offer insulting.

That was not what Richo said. He said he believed it was a done deal, very confident in it, but not that he had signed.

The same program stated how Dawes, despite having a contract for the next 2 years, may have to leave for them to get Lynch and could be shopped around, with us mentioned prominently

I cant believe he started on there rookie list.

Just makes you think that the picking all your kid from NAB draft isn't always the answer.

Over on big footy they have just posted that Q Stick is set to join the dees on a 2 year contract 360k a year. How much substance to the rumour is anyones guess but apparently they have gone with it on Perth radio

[Jordie_tackles 354]

Someone on bigfooty said that Brad Hardie - (radio commentator/journalist) linked Lynch to melbourne on a 2 year deal for 360K a year? on perth radio just now

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/lynch-to-melbourne.975619/

Wouldnt be the worst, could free up Martin as trade bait, and we need a genuine second tall behind Clark, thoughts? is only a rumour atm of course but thought i would share it

[Scipio 5,868]

Aren't there already a couple of threads on Lynch?

Good news, hopefully it's substantiated by something!

Lynch would be good for us; lots of experience in a top side and would create a strong structure with Clarky.

All the people on here yelling him down because he is too old or whatever - the days of planning for a flag by drafting kids are gone. Look at the Bailey era - it failed miserably. We need improvement asap and mature recruits are the go. Get some wins next year and create confidence for the future instead of drafting kids who perpetuate a losing culture.

Really? he has been very clear about the need for a second power forward? Where was this said? In the article about us not being interested in Cloke Neeld said the exact opposite - wanting to build a forward 50 of crumbing, pressuring smalls around Clark.

I personally believe Q is a standout player - under-rated like many WA players in Victoria but he is way outside our age bracket and would make no sense unless he has good training and leadership qualities that might improve our culture.

I dont think we have an age bracket tbh, we lack expericne, especially with Moloney (maybe not the best experience bu is experience) and Rivers going, Green.

Our top end is shallow, and Lynch fills a need imo, we can play Fitz or Watts or Cook under these guys with alot less pressure. We needed a second tall when Clark went down, i dont care if Lynch is just a stop gap persay, we have the $$$$ and need another target, why not?

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,078]

You talk sense Jordie. I cant argue with that.
