Discussions regarding a new deal have hit a roadblock with Adelaide is reported to be strongly considering a move home to Victoria. We've been named as 1 of the 4 Vic clubs in the hunt.

Could we get Lynch AND Gaff?

Would you be willing to pay up to get Lynch? Will be 28 in September

    I wouldn't want Gaff or Lynch if it meant losing McDonald.

    Make him priority

    Hogan, McDonald and Weideman. Where does Lynch play? 

    The only thing I can think of is us leaking our interest in Lynch to provide us some leverage in the McDonald contract talks.

    Are we the new filth ? ie...to be associated by rumours to any and all ?

    There is no room for him now.

    4 years ago, when we last chased him, he would have been a superb pick up for us.  Roosy was very keen and he would've added some real class to our forward line.

    Now, we have no need for him in our side.  With the players you mentioned above, plus Gawn resting there, 'Bull' Smith doing well and our plethora of medium forwards, there is no reason to chase him now.

    I know we were heavily into him when his previous contract was up but as most have said I can’t see a need for him now.

    Pretty sure Lynch was using us as leverage to jack-up his price with Adelaide.   

    Fool me once, shame on you...

    Seems like the sort of player that St Kilda need. 

    You'd expect the Aints to go hard ball here.If Vic bound i could see him going to StKilda.

    Good fit

    They should’ve kept him in the first place.

    I think forward line and back line is fine. Mid is good but could do with a few pacey mids to compliment our star mid brigade. 

    Gaff could be looked at and I am sure we could package something up to move up in draft. If the draft is that good our later pick could be a diamond in the rough.

    Concur. Tom Mac is a must and he can play most positions whereas Lynch is basically a 2nd or 3rd tall forward of which we have a few like Weeds, Smith etc. Not forgetting Hogan also. Doubt Lynch would fit in at all. The other thing is Lynch goes missing allot in games and we have enough of those. Gaff I would take if reasonably priced to cover Vince and Lewis when they retire. But keeping Mac is a no brainer.

    Hopefully it might just mean that we are more of a destination club then we use to be. With success we might be mentioned more along with the usual Richmond and Collingwood's.

    It's probably more likely we've been mentioned as I'm fairly sure we had strong interest in him in the past so would naturally put us in the conversation.

    But then guys like Tmac, Hoges and Petracca arrived!

    Lets look after our stock now that they are starting to show more promising results. Lynch doesn't fit the bill ,what we need is an outside Mid as we know in Gaff and to go after him hard. However we don't need a TMac generic.

    Will be interesting if he goes back to the Saints after they traded him for what? Pick 37 was it?

    Ouch

    I'd rather pass on Adelaide's Lynch.

    Signing T.McDonald should be much higher on the priority list. Not only do I think he's the better player but it's also beneficial for club culture.

    If the club sees a need to target an additional tall forward, out of fear Hogan may not re-sign next year, then do it properly and go for Gold Coast's Tom Lynch.

    Yes, I would.  He fits the age bracket we need more leadership within.   Sloane of Lynch. would be good.

    Adding gaff would help our gut running area.

    Three seems to be a few coming up Re possible shifts.  IMO, in four years time we will have a lot of pressure on our salary cap.  More-so then than now.

    Getting these mature players will serve us well, as long as they are potent winners. 

    But we need to hold our picks as much as possible, so we have young talent ready in 4 years time, to start their AFL careers.

    Weid will go to Collingwood, Lynch to us....simplez

    Ten minutes later, I have been musing on this possibility of downloading the Weed as part of gathering Lynch, potentially. Gaff would be my priority acquisition, just the same.

    I reckon that Lynch would not be needed by the MFC in his current onfield deployment (at the Crows); however, I do think that he is a player above a mere depth acquisition. To this end, I feel that he could be fairly easily adapted to be our Centre Half Back with some command of the footy field and, of course, better exploiting his footy-gathering skills, given his physical attributes. With OMac proving more skilled, adept and reliable at Full Back, and with the rest of our impressive backline in support, Lynch could well be the opportunity to release Lever from the CHB position, enabling him (Lever) to return to the utility/intercept role to the HBFlank where he plays his very best football.

    Imagine:

    Jetta                            OMac                      Hibberd

    Lever                           Lynch                       Hunt/Lewis

    ... as our back six to produce a fortress and ball-winning set to support and initiate our impressive midfield and forward drive.

    In many ways, it is a bluddy scary opportunity to put the wobblies up the Filth, Carlscum, Essendrug, Whoreform, the Weegals and the dreaded interstate menagerie. Yep, go for him, after Gaff.

    It was a potential proposition, nothing more, worded poorly.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
