Roast Tom Lynch - where's he at?

[slice]

Has to go. Absolutely putrid for weeks.

Unfit, laughably slow, shirks contests and barely touches it.

The ‘connector’ hype is bullshit. One tick pony and one of the games great downhill skiers.

Was quality at his peak and in no way just 'hype', but he is no longer contributing meaningfully.

 

[Firewalker]

He’s taken on board what you’ve said and has decided to give himself another go next week after getting another week of training under his belt

 

[Mr_Moogle]

He isn't up to it anymore. Just not quick enough and I don't mean just mean his running speed, he's too bloody slow to make decisions. When he does finally move the ball on, he sells him teammates into trouble, or butchers the kick. He's been good for us over the years but the game has gone past him.

 

[SugarShane]

Been off him for some time. Can't kick 50m any more, regularly tries to thread the needle to one Crow between 4 opponents which almost always results in a turn over. Tries to be way too cute but no longer has the skill to back it up.

 

[Scorpus]

Someone will post that article soon from the first three weeks of the season.

Has been very poor last fortnight. Very, very poor.

 

[Golumless]

Injured his toe and refuses to accept its affecting his performance.

If he's playing injured that explains the lack of pace but his decison making is balls atm. Can't blame a bad toe for that.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Loves either kicking it to a 4 opponent on 1 crow contest or doing a s**t handball to a team mate running past that misses its mark and makes the player break stride and in doing so that player ends up under pressure.

trade, retire or simply delist him at years end..

But you know they will give him another year.. he’s one of Roo’s besties..

Hasn't trained properly for 2 weeks... & it shows!

 

[Mutineer]

Playing Injured, that's on the coach/selection

I picked 2 weeks ago Lynch was lame & was laughed at.

The sooner we rest injured players the sooner they are back at their best.

That's what the off season is for. There's no way we can rest the connector.

 

[maxlilly]

Just a little bit more patience Slice, he wont be here next year.
We have to play him to keep his trade value up
But senior players putting their hand up to play when they are injured has been a disaster for the club for many years now

According to the coach, Tommy is experienced enough to tell us if he's right to go or not

He has no trade value. A glacier is no use in today’s footy.

I know, but there will be one silly team out there that will value his leadership

Saints seem to be great for picking up washed up and worn out rubbish..

maybe we wave him in front of them..

Kind of like Thommo

 

[Interloperer]

still easily top 10 in the squad.

 

[King Elvis]

Was always a front runner - and that’s not meant to be an insult.

When we were flying, he was excellent - but struggled since.

Said we should’ve traded him at the time, was right.

 

[FR0GGY]

Get him out whilst he’s injured and reassess.
Trash at the moment.

That's where he came from

 

[Doctor B]

This Mr Connector role is nonsense.

If he is the valuable connector between the midfield and forwards, his goal assists, score involvements and meters gained stats would be through the roof.

They're not.

 

[Danger in Texas]

He's not a forward anymore, as he doesn't consistently kick goals like he did during 2015-17. He's a tall wingman

Problem is, he's been pretty ineffective as a wingman, too. He's not a linebreaker (in fact he has very little pace), he's a slow decision-maker, and he doesn't really tackle and win hard ball. Sholl and Seedsman are miles ahead of him off a wing

Now if these problems are related to injury niggles, that's on the coaching staff. Shouldn't be playing someone as ineffective as Lynch. I get a strange feeling it's just father time catching up with him, though
