[Tiger Tragic]

Lynch by the Flemington straight.  Key forward depth is something we don't have and we can't rely on Jack in what is probably his last year.  If Lynch goes down, we will be back to 2017 unless Samson or Bauer come on

Or Balta but tbh I think Balta is better as a back man

The irreplaceables: Who your AFL team simply can’t afford to lose in 2023

From proven stars to those less heralded, and even to a pair of fresh draftees, we take a look at who your team cannot afford to be without in season 2023.

Richmond - Tom Lynch

The strong marking forward is the key marking target inside attacking 50 - and holds the Tigers’ premiership ambitions in his hands. He had a fine 2022, booting 63 goals in 19 games, including back-to-back bags of six against Collingwood and Hawthorn, and claimed the Jack Dyer Medal. Jack Riewoldt still has an important role to play inside 50, but this is Lynch’s team. A case could be argued for the dynamic Shai Bolton, robust midfielder Dion Prestia and, yes, Dustin Martin, but the Tigers got through without Dusty for long periods last season.
