Tom Lynch (Adelaide Crows)

[DeesEmb 9]

Lynch wants a 3 year deal at Adelaide.... I wouldn't give him that at Melbourne, he's just a list filler

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,974]

I really don't understand how people on D'Land can scoff at us picking up Tom Lynch?

The guy has 22 goals this season from 16 games. He is the perfect 3rd tall in the Jack Gunston mould. A forward line with the following would be extremely dangerous:

HF: Kent Hogan Petracca

F: Garlett XXXX Lynch

I put XXXX because I'm hoping that's who replaces Dawes as our 2nd tall, preferably a guy who is a genuiene ruck/fwd.

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

I agree there seems to be more love than you'd expect from a player like him.

He's effective. However he always gets third best defender behind Walker and Jenkins.

When Dawes was in form last year he was just as effective as Lynch.

[Fitz Fitzpatrick 886]

Dreamin!

But sweeten the deal with Toumpas, another player as well as a Draft pick??

Hnmm keep talkin you interest me!

You had me at Toumpas

No he wasn't..

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,025]

Toumpas for lynch?

Bring it.

Still no offer for the Toump.

No whammys no whammys stop.

Except for when he was banging in goals while Walker was out with an ACL...

[olisik 4,060]

Watching Lynch tonight I need to say. I am not impressed.

Will be extremely disappointed if we trade for this fella, gives away stupid frees, does silly turnovers and looks to play for himself. Big no for me, we are trying to rid ourselves of that type of player

Which game, or quarter, was that?

[boydie 653]

Which game, or quarter, was that?

He played a good half against Carlton and played a good game against the Crows.

Other than that there was nothing to suggest form.

[boydie 653]

I wouldn't even consider trading Toumpas and our 3rd rounder for Lynch and their second rounder. Let alone throwing our second rounder in WITH Toumpas, that is crazy.

Lynch isn't that good. Toumpas has more upside. He will take time to develop mentally, but when he does, he will be an important player.

Agree regarding Toumpas.

Toumpas has shown the same if not more than someone like JKH, yet because one a is a pick 4 and the other is a pick 40 we're already calling for the head of one and labelling the next as the 2nd coming of Jeff Farmer.

[daisycutter 28,728]

dunno what the fuss is about

and that's not just based on tonight

[olisik 4,060]

I rate ToumpAs higher then JKH

I also rate Stretch higher then JKH

JKH will be lucky to get another contract if he doesn't lift his game soon

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

JKH is contracted until the end of 2017, so I think he's got a bit of time to prove himself.

[Theo 263]

At the dinner with the Viney's last Wednesday young Jack Viney supported the selection of Toumpas over his best mate Oliver Wines.

Whether that was his true belief or just playing the political MFC line I can't say. On the face of it he was very quick in support of Jimmy.

There was a lot of talk on the night around the escapades of young Jack and Oliver growing up together.

I hope to God I am wrong on Toumpas, but at the moment I think he is not in our best 22 and probably won't ever be.

I don't care about his draft number but rather what he has shown.

Hopefully we have Salem, Petracca, Kent, Frost and JT in the side next year. With the regulars and Stretch, ANB and Vandenberg and maybe Prestia where does Toumpas fit in?

I think Harmes is going past him and I think Newton still has something to offer. If we trade in Prestia and maybe another mid and then draft well, his chances appear to become even slimmer.

Then again as I said earlier, I hope I am wrong. It won't be the first time.

You need to read the Prestia thread Mr. Leg.

[Chook in Perth 2,012]

Dawes not in great shape to play long term. Desperately need another key forward.

Lynch very much the target right now. I'm underwhelmed but that's the play.

[Binmans PA 26,777]

No, he doesn't.

Yuck

[boydie 653]

I'd rather persist with Pedersen, continue to develop King and then trade for a key forward when one worthy of trading for comes up.

Lynch isn't worth trading for, not a genuine key forward, cant play ruck...

[Roger Mellie 3,685]

I wouldn't be surprised if Roos tried to turn him into a big bodied mid given his preoccupation with them. Or more likely fwd/mid.

I'm happy to trade for the right price (i.e.. next to nothing)

So Matthew Bate 2.0? Red hair, to small for a key position, to slow to be a midfielder, but better mark..

You forgot the 'runs all day long' part which they both have.

As I said, for the right price e.g.. Jordie MacKenzie - that way they won't feel the loss in red hair.
