7news just said there's injury worries with Lynch too. Looked like from the brief vision he went in for scans too?

More in the sports report after the break.

Lynch said it's hopefully just a corky.

Disappointing night for Lynchy but he did kick his 200th goal for us.

His payed the big bucks to kick the goals needs to maybe carrying a injury.

I’ve said it before, the bloke would kick 200 goals a season if he got paid half the free kicks he should actually get. Was 1v3 all night last night. Quaynor was playing on Jack FFS and Jack took 1 mark all night and it was a gift from a team mate.

Yeah our forwarding needs more avenues, if they triple team on Lynch or even double team we struggle. Need another option. Maybe worth exploring Bradtke. A dry day with Ryan up there can be something that keeps defense's honest.

Agreed with above. Lynch is a jet and suffers from poor entries and getting scragged with frees rarely going his way.

When 1 vs 1 or even 1 vs 2 with a half decent entry he reminds us how good of a kpf he is. The contested mark against 3 defenders in the dying seconds against Carlton highlights that.

We really need a forward who is dangerous enough to draw a decent defender badly just so lynch doesn’t get triple teamed

One of my favorite players and we are wasting him in the sense that he has no help. Always double and triple teamed and people wonder why he doesnt kick bags every week.

Anyone got the scoop?

Apparently being assessed for a foot injury.

Could also be looked at for the bump but it might not matter.

Fractured foot, needs surgery. Sounds long term

Season stuffed then.

Ryan, Jack, Miller, Bradtke and Bauer all going to have to have a crack.

Lucky they rested JR might be awhile before he gets another rest.

In saying that it would Be good to now get games into the likes of Bradtke  Bauer and one of Miller and Ryan and leave Jack out.!!!!!!!.
At a minimum at least one of them playing alongside JR and Ryan.

And just like that, there goes the season

Great opportunity to finally develop some young KPFs

I noticed that we was off the ground for a fair stretch.
