People reckon his tradeable do you understand he has been hampered by injury this year ?.
Please. It's not like he was particularly good last year.
He's been mediocre since 2019.
If he's not clunking marks, which he often isnt, then he's just a lumbering down the line target.
His set shot kicking has been poor recently too.
Not saying he's crap by any stretch. But he's not the superstar CHF that I was expecting.
And our forward line hasn't exactly imploded without him.
So do you think we would have won back to back flags without him I doubt it.He commands the best defender and his fotm in 2019 was good.Let's not forget the role Dimma asked him to play to.
No, I dont think we would have won back to back without him, but the same could be said for a number of players.
Lynch is just not good as I thought he would be.
Personally, I was hoping for more than a few very good games, a few below average games and a whole lot of passable 'bringing it to ground' games.
if you are satisfied with his output thus far then fair enough. Agree to disagree.
Exactly. You could easily say George has been just as important to our flags but nobody would make such a fuss about him.
Lynch since 2019 plays maybe a handful of great games a year, if that. The rest are 'Rioli' games where he is 'bringing the ball to ground' much like Rioli is 'guarding space'. I just want him to do his job - take marks and kick goals. His marking has been average, his ground work has gone backwards, and for a guy that was kicking beautifully in 2019 he has become very unreliable in front of goal - heck he even made that recent list of the top 10 worst set shots.
So yes, if he doesn't recapture his best form and this is indeed his new baseline, do we need him? We have finally all let go of Rioli's 2017 form. One day 2019 and a few games here and there won't be enough from Lynch.
