Staggered that he keeps getting a free hit every week.
Let’s put to bed the obvious fan boys “he won us the the 2019” flag on his own. Yes he did a magnificent job and that’s a different argument.
I’m saying at the minute and possibly all year he has been terrible. Excuse after excuse, knee..fitness..delivery…back end contract, yeah we get it.

Doesn’t excuse his $40,000 a game output now. Can’t hold a mark. Richo kicking from 20m out.
He will ALWAYS be a Tiger legend now but his drop off has been dramatic and terrible at the minute.

Hopefully he gets back but I’m not so sure.

Listen to Hardwicks press conference when they ask him about Lynch.
Dimma went bang!
he did ! unloaded on a few and rightly so i reckon.
made mention of Lynchs treatment on and off the field. had a point ...

Carp delivery, and gets mauled like no other forward. Worked hard today, watch closely. Chased and harassed. Playing a role like everyone else. Takes a top backman away from Jack. Doesnt get out-marked, basically ever..
Watch Hardwick’s presser, I’ll back his analysis. You letting Lyon and Co get into your head

He's been hopeless. No 2 ways about it. Can't run can't jump.

First half yesterday was hardly seen , second half I though e worked his butt off in true Lynch style , however he is so far from his best , hopefully a big freshen up of the body over the summer and he can get back to somewhere near his best.

We do continue to have our big blokes all flying together which dosent help , at one point Lynch, Jack an CJ were all in the same pack .

It’s a real concern if Lynch’s body is failing him , as Jack really struggles on top opponents now and CJ is the next best option and as much as I like CJ as a forward/Ruck I cant see him been more then a 30-40 goal a season player , we need Lynch to get back up or find a young key forward.

2 kicks, 1 mark. 1 tackle. But he’s working hard so that’s ok. If it was anyone else he’d be assessed much harder.

He’s been a shadow of his real self the last 6 weeks so if he’s injured, then put him away for the season. Too valuable to be risking if he’s injured.

Without lynch splitting and attracking opposition to his packs,our forward line gets worse,dimma knows better than us in his value.

Release the shackles of being scragged and held every single play and Get him up the ground where he can create some separation.
He can't run. I'd be able to go with him. It's why he's always in a wrestle.

Needs to move to CHB. Get into the game and get his confidence back. Astbury is done and we could use him there. Its a worry that Dimma hasn’t thought of this by now

He won't be able to go with his opponent.

Reckon his knee injury/surgery is still causing him a bit of grief going by his lack of mobility and lack of jumping for marks.
if finals are out then put him to pasture along with all our long term injuries and let him get healthy. It’s all about 2022

If he got treated the same way most other forwards are he’d have kick three or four each game over the past month….
