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.

    It's a yes from me.

    Straight swap for Toumpas?

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

    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...

    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?

    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... :ph34r:

    ...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.

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

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
