I want to know exactly what he expects from Lynch? Has he been goalless for weeks inc 2021?
I'll mention Buddy again. Where's the Swans flag(s)? with that sum he's earning?

Actually thought Tom was in good touch clunked some nice marks , missed his easier shot,what else is new ,,,just longing for a time he gets some space , if Tom hawkins gets it what are we doing wrongMr Magoo has had a bit of a crack. Sure it will come up again tonight.
The Tackle: Toothless Tom not a million dollar man
What has happened to Tom Lynch? Once a colossal player, now he is battling to justify a contract worth close to $1 million a year, Mark Robinson writes. LIKES AND DISLIKES
Don’t think our forward setup is conducive to lynch really getting on the end of it so to speak , by design we appear to want to kill the ball to ground and do our best work,,,,Bolton and baker shedda are class acts so we are in good hands even better with lambo roaming
It's not just now that Robbo has had it in for Lynch though, he's been on his case ever since we got him from the Suns.
He's like a broken record, I've thought he was going to froth at the mouth couple of times.
He had no such problems when Stagerfield went to the Cats though.
I honestly thought Lynch looked like he was moving well preseason. Lets see how he goes this week.
If it's top 4 before finals he kicked 17 in 6 games
6 & 3 v Bris
2 & 1 v Cats
3 v Port
2 v Melbourne
20 v bottom 6 teams in 7 games
14 v the middle in 9
That's why I've stopped reading a lot of stuff, we have passionate supporters and even more passionate detractors, RFC sells papers, gets clicks, whatever......for me, I'm happy going to/watching games and making up my own mind!
Agree. That first game against the Cats, particularly early, was looking really good. His goalkicking was also spot on.
Gerald Healy marks it as a win for Sydney with the Buddy deal. It’s not all about winning premierships. He got the crowds through the gates. So that’s a win for the swans. So he said.
IMO I would prefer a premiership
Lynch is not being coached well; and hasnt for a year and a half now.
I hated it at the time, and it gets my goat up still now, that Dimma threw him under the bus (inadvertently) with the 'he needs to play on the edge' stuff after a couple of crude Lynch actions on the field. I cant stand Chris Scott, but he never throws his players under the bus like that. It became months of junk journo fodder. Just b/c from time to time, Dimma answers things poorly. Like the "I hate Edihad Stadium" line.
Tommy didnt need to play on the edge in the prelim against geelong (although I loved his hip and shoulder to Danger,
.
He was awesome and he played 30 metres from goal. It was just rubbish from Dimma and i was so disappointed in him. In trying to stick up for Tom, he made it about the wrong thing that engenders no sympathy, even from the umps. And Tom never gets the free kicks now either. *smile* me how Dimma approached this.
And he's been coached badly since last year too. Why is he either wrestling with his man or making these long leads to the 50arc. he is not Nick Riewoldt, it's not great for his dodgy knees either.
Leave him 30 metres near goal and just let him lead to the ball from the square. Any oppo coach would be more rapt to see Lynch making the long leads to the 50m arc than within 30 metres of goal. Our forward line coach has been seriously *smile* since 2021.

Yes but without Tom, reckon we definitely don't win one of our flags, possibly two.
So for Leysy his contract is a success even if he doesn't play another match.
Not saying he performed to his money last year (really didn't look fit). His knees don't sound good.
Love to see him moving around more, hitting up to the flanks and even wings and circling back. Too much wrestling from the square.
Nick Riewoldt drained fluid from his knees for the last 4 yrs of his career and could barely train mid week.
Players play with all sorts of issues through management and injections.
Tom probably no different
You've never worked on a farm have you TD.
You lift a wheelbarrow with your palms on bottom and fingers wrapped on top.
Still hearing no excuses for Jack wheel barrowing Tom around the ground this year.

have you seen Jack run when he not pushing Tom wheelbarrow style? they wont getting much separation from their opponents.
