Have you ever thought that the PCL injury has slowed him down ?
And then to have to carry injuries as the season progresses ?
My 14yo daughter said to me “ how come Tom is so slow “
Seriously watch the games
He might never be the same after the injury he had
And now got other issues 🤦‍♂️

He had a PCL reco, a very rare reco of the knee

Like other knee recos, it takes time to get over it and more importantly get the confidence back

Think he should be afforded the same patience we show any bloke coming back from a reco and not over the top reactions based solely on his contract

Yes there is a chance he may not get back all his movement but let's see how it pans out over the course of the season not the last 3 weeks.

Didn't hear or see any complaints after 4 rounds

You need to start taking more heed of the quote beneath your avatar.... :shh

No dramas - Forget him as a key forward

Throw him into the ruck - Nothing lost - Nothing gained

Err, yes? Rucking requires a certain amount of particular skill and nuance.

Key Forwards require a certain amount of particular skill and nuance.

Are all rovers under 5"10', fast over 20 metres?

Are all key backs slow, poor by foot and take all the kick outs?

..... :huh

He isn’t under done at all
He is carrying an injury and shouldn’t be playing but once you run out you give your best
I have no doubt he is carrying a quad / groin injury that he injured at training 2 weeks ago
Limped off at closed session when kicked the ground having a shot at goal
Irrelevant what the club say and we all know Balmey tell the truth 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Last two weeks  has been embarrassing
Don’t play him I say
But who really cares what I think
Same as Dusty before Preliminary last year . Couldn’t even do the ladder run throughs at training but out he runs 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂
Injured or underdone, the point is they are playing him when they should be resting him. It's not his fault they pick him. The medical team should step in if he is injured. Why are you having a go at him if you actually saw him get injured at training? Have a go at the club.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Sometimes the players should put there hand up and say
Hey I ain’t right to go
Bachar Houli said he wasn’t right to early this year , huge credit to him
Then you get the players who say yep I am right to go when clearly they are not eg Dusty Martin last year in Preliminary
Anyway , that’s my take on it
Argue all you like
If that’s what he is going to dish up what he did on Saturday night being lowest ranked player of the round , we are in huge trouble
Some should take off there yellow and black glasses and look at the situation objectively
I don’t like Matty Lloyd but his comments along with others on On the Couch are 100% correct
The RFC arent in a position to drop many more games either
Interesting debate by Jack and Robbo on AFL360 right now about Tom

Might further add
Over the past 3 weeks
Tiges have had a combined 187 inside F50 ( Huge numbers )
Lynch has has 12 kicks 8 handballs and 9 marks for 1 goal  ( Tiges have kicked 32 )
Key forward 🤔🤔
Enough said

Every clip they have showed of Lynch from the last couple of weeks, the ball has been kicked on his head, and too his credit every time the ball has been at least brought to ground giving our smalls the opportunity of kicking a winning score.

Massive overreaction IMO.

I'm thinking Lynch probably kicks 6 this week now.

Hmmmm ...

Has he injured himself at training a few weeks back?

I believe the delivery to him has been horrible and slow!

Hard for a guy to beat 2-3.

Though his running patterns are slow and seems effortless .

Is it because of our forward structure? There’s no room for him to lead I must say!

Players scattered everywhere and are we to predictable going to him?
