Tom Lynch [merged]

[one-eyed]

Q: What did you make of Lynch's comeback game? Pretty important especially that first half.

Dimma:
"Yeah, he was. You know he is important to the way we play and he was battling two most of the night. But he managed to get the ball to the ground and was rarely outmarked and he kicked some really important goals as well. He's so important to the way we play and you can see the importance he had by the players around him growing in stature as well. He had a good game. Tough night for forwards as we spoke about but we're pleased with how he went.

Not the best conditions for a big man, thought he did fairly well

[Tiger Khosh]

Thought he was very good. Brought the ball to ground when outnumbered 3-1 and chased and tackled well too.

Excellent pressure applied for a key forward with 17 pressure acts. 

Only Clarke had more (22) than him out of all forwards.

Oh wow didn’t know Clarke had so many. Good lad

Lynch was great. Brought the ball to ground a lot and snagged 3

and did any Carlton players also get fined?

Interesting  how biased the cronies in the AFL are. The weak  Media don’t challenge the bias with the perpetrators and due to the dictatorship the rules have been written so to raise critics either privately or publicly rewards the club with greater bias and financial penalties.
It no coincidence that we get poo fixture times, free counts and bias at the tribunal.
The bias / pedjudices should be challenged / called out if they continue

Only Plowman.

Cripps who started the whole melee got off with nothing .

Lynch interviewed at half-time said it's a minor hammy. It's the other leg so it's a new hammy. He's never done one on that leg.

Tom said he felt it on the lead when he took the mark. Had his set shot and then went off. He actually wanted to go back on but the doc said nup.

Every game losing one of key players 😪.

[Tiger Khosh]

If this game and past month has taught me anything it’s that Lynch is our most important player by some margin.

Even when he’s having an avg game he’s still taking away the opposition teams best defender and often drawing multiple defenders away for our other fwds to benefit.

Agreed mate. Without him there Jack is a sitting duck
