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

5 July 2024Who 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.
