Tom Lynch (Adelaide Crows)

[mo64 5,209]

How many goals do you think Hogan would have kicked at Adelaide this year...?? 22 is modest.

Lynch is 4th on the Adelaide goalkicking with 25 behind Betts, Walker and Jenkins. He also has 25 goal assists. Vince and Dawes are equal 3rd our goalkicking list with a grand total of 10 each.

Yeah, your right. Lynch is superfluous to our needs.

[MadAsHell 4,088]

It's a yes from me.

Straight swap for Toumpas?

At least you would get a bloke who plays in your AFL side.

[rpfc 27,451]

Lynch plays a different role to Dawes but he would fill Howe's shoes nicely I reckon.

Had him in my UF team last year and was impressed.

These are the players that don't excite people but I am fascinated with the mundane filling of specific but important roles so this excites me...

[Nasher 33,047]

It's a yes from me.

Straight swap for Toumpas?

How would you feel if Port Adelaide offered us Andrew Moore in a straight swap for Jack Watts? That's similar to what you've offered.

I'd feel we've swapped a bag of Dutch Creams for a bag of Sebagos.

He's got limited positional versatility, limited pace and kicks like a mule (which is good and bad).

I'd be interested for the right price, but I also think Vanders and Watts can both play as 3rd tall types and have more versatility. Petracca by all reports knows how to take a grab as well.

Kent back, another year in to Brayshaw and Harmes, I just wonder if giving up some valuable commodity for Lynch would be worth it. How much does another good half forward help our ball movement if we still haven't fixed the backline and outside midfield spots or found a 2nd ruck/forward who can play the role consistently.

I know he'd fill the Gunston role but Gunston is quick, as is Roughy. Hogan certainly moves around the ground well but if we are trying to emulate West Coast and Hawthorn then I'd be looking for more speed to go with Hogan not a hard work rate guy.

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.

How long will he take in your esteemed opinion KDA?

[monoccular 16,066]

It's a yes from me.

No way it would happen but I am sure we would grab it with both hands.

I know you don't think that, far too smart to think that.

A good description of Lynch's key role by his coach. From his description it would seem they would want to give him the 3 years he wants...unless of course he is talking up the value of the trade or trying to get another club involved...

...looks like we are still in their batting batting to get him: "The Victorian wants to stay at Adelaide but has knocked back its initial offer of a two-year deal, preferring a three-year contract similar to the one Melbourne is understood to have offered him".

Not a fan of Dawes so based on age and form I would really like Lynch in our forward line. If Dawes goes at the end of his contract in 2016 Lynch would already be settled into the side/game plan.

Two years ago most Melbourne supporters would have taken that.

[dazzledavey36 48,743]

Apparently Rob Waters mentioned on SEN that we have offered Lynch 4 years while Adelaide have offered 2.

Perhaps.

I honestly don't know what to think anymore.

[whatwhat say what 18,920]

hope we get this guy.

[demonoid 317]

Rob waters has reported that tom lynch is considering a 4 year offer from dees. Saw it on Twitter. Problem is I can't seem to find out if they are referring to the Gold Coast or Adelaide Tom lynch. Hope it's the Gold Coast one. Anyone know anything about it

[Demon Jack 6,278]

A lazy 32 touches and nine marks tonight for Lynch tonight.

[FarNorthernD 5,839]

A lazy 32 touches and nine marks tonight for Lynch tonight.

And three goals

[dazzledavey36 48,743]

And three goals

Wrong lynch

[dazzledavey36 48,743]

A lazy 32 disposals and 9 marks tonight.

[FarNorthernD 5,839]

Wrong lynch

Yes, my mistake

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

If it was the one from Gold Coast I'd be thrilled. The one from Adelaide, not so much. I was devastated when we missed Lynch by one pick and took the Spud Cook instead.

I really hope they're talking about the good Tom Lynch and not the Adelaide one.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

How reliable is Rob Waters?

For the right price I'd be happy to have him. Had a ripper game tonight, although it was only against the Lions. 25 goals and 25 goal assists in a season is nothing our club could ignore.
