Take your time indeed, the unwritten rule is you take your 30 so your midfielders get a 30 second breather.

MMM talking about the Coleman medal and Barrett said 'Curnow is now on 25 goals, and that's only from 7 games, because he didn't kick a goal in round 1'
Incredible analysis.
Our media are so awesome.
He must be over the moon about Lynch. He's kicked half that many in two games.MMM talking about the Coleman medal and Barrett said 'Curnow is now on 25 goals, and that's only from 7 games, because he didn't kick a goal in round 1'

Jeepers. Next time I'm going out, I'm telling all the girls that I'm 20, if you ignore the other 20 years.
Our man is getting some very soft match ups and destroying them. Good. We want him confident for the once or twice he meets a footballer. In the big city games.
Jack will lift in those games and threaten in his own right.
Theoretically do only GF teams have tall backs?

It's odd, against the Dees he was pathetic in both attack on the ball and marking. And really he has been poor in 3 games. But at times he moves freely and launches with aggression. Not sure if it was simply that Moore played so loose or that Tom just outworked him? He looked to be covering the ground so well.
I bemoan the marking but he does sit No.1 in the AFL in total contested marks so is doing something right. He has set the standard the last 2 games, lets hope he maintains it, we are a different beast when he puts it all together.

Lynch is a different beast when allowed to run and launch at the ball. The better defenders don't allow him to do so, and he gets caught out trying to wrestle, or play from behind. But when given the freedom to roam, you can see his confidence rise. It's why I think he's a better CHF than FF because it gives him more licence to keep moving, which helps his overall game.
The faster ball movement into F50 is also helping out Tom. We've made some significant improvements in the ball movement the last two weeks, and he's reaping the benefits.

To state the bleeding obvious, he looks better when can hit the ball/contest at pace. He gets to jump at the ball and while he isn't going to take Mark of the Year he is an absolute unit so he crunches packs. He isn't quick but momentum is a killer, the physics kind not the imaginary football kind. You accelerate an object of his size to its maximum and it will do damage when it encounters another object. I suspect that is where his reputation(?) comes from. Stand in the wrong place when Tom has up a head of speed and the inevitable crunch could be life changing. But the difference in the Collingwood game was the way he was cluncking them. He works hard always does Tom. Does a heap off the ball. Comes up the ground to provide an out and help his team mates. But when he is holding his marks he is incredibly dangerous. I can't tell how delighted I was that it happened to be the old rival, the filth, that saw his return to form.
No doubt about that , tis chalk and cheese , that stuttering movement v melb was a worry , since then wooshka and we re striking our forwards 1/1 , be it tom, dusty jack , and that poses one heck of a threat
Looks heaps better when he gets on his bike and moves up and down the ground getting early touches.
