THE PLAYER AT YOUR CLUB WHO NEEDS A BIG END TO THE 2024 SEASON

Andrew Slevison

5 July 2024


Who is the player at your club who needs to fire in the back end of the season?

It might be a player returning from injury who could lift their team into finals. It could be an underperforming player who must find form. Perhaps it’s someone who simply needs to rediscover themselves on a footy field after barely playing.

We’ve gone through each of the 18 clubs and picked out one (or a few) players who need a big end to 2024.



Richmond forward Tom Lynch has played just eight games of footy since the beginning of the 2023 season.

He has had a wretched run with foot and hamstring injuries and is still 1 to 2 weeks away from a return from his latest hammy.

With only eight fixtures left in 2024 time is running out for Lynch to remember what it feels like to play continuous games at the top level.

The undermanned Tigers have been battling away under Adem Yze so there are zero expectations on what they do for the remainder of the campaign, but it would be nice to see Lynch back and firing.

Similarly, where does Dion Prestia sit? The oft-injured on-baller is out of contract this year and would also love to get back to playing good footy in order to prolong his career.

The likes of Thomson Dow, Kamdyn McIntosh, Hugo Ralphsmith, Jack Graham, Marlion Pickett (currently injured) and Noah Cumberland are all out of contract and perhaps playing for their careers.

I think we’d be better served letting Prestia + all 6 of those last guys named go. Maybe harsh on Hugo who has shown genuine improvement this season.

Marlion on near minimum chips can stay
Cumbo let’s see what the next few weeks brings .. would want to improve on the last few chances

Would keep Hugo, wait and see on Cumbo and pee the rest off
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
