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

    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.

    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.

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

    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?

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    No, he doesn't.

    Yuck

  • Quote

    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...

  • Quote

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
