Lynch !!
- Thread starter Tigaman
- Start date
By that stage there will be no point in him coming back.
Unless we start a big winning streak now.
On present form that ain't happening.
I wouldn't risk him.
Eugene Levy is the new fitness bloke down at Richmond. Apparently John Candy will help out when required
Is Lloyd Christmas running the physical performance at the club?
Besides any excuse, there is one dead set fact about our Club , we can’t win a flag without Lynch and when you ad a few other issues we can’t make finals .
Lynch has long paid for himself , however with nothing looking anything like a replacement or even a side kick , we could be in trouble going forward

I think if you take the best player out of any side their performance is going to drop. It makes losing Rance and still winning flags remarkable.
Generally it can be the difference of 3 or 4 wins over a season IMO as the comp is so tight.
Cats without Cameron in first few rounds would only have 2 or 3 wins like us.
Demons without one of Oliver / Petracca would be a couple of wins less.
etc. etc.
Without Lynch in round 1 we lose and don't draw.
If he was playing against Essendon, a couple of those i50 bombs turn into marks and goals and/or our second forward gets left alone and bobs up with more.
This guy should have been AA FF in 2022 so not surprising we are struggling. Riewoldt wasn't mean to be the top dog this year.

Gone for the season.
The club torched this over the summer.
He had foot issues all summer and they rushed him back for round 1 and 2 weeks later his foot broke while running. Fracture.
This is all down poor player management.
Have a look how Geelong dealt with Henry's foot issues.
They brought him back this week
Another game where he'd have made the difference to the result.
It's no coincidence we have fallen off a cliff with our MVP missing.
the player we could least afford to lose with injury, with the worst injury of the lot.
Devastating.

either he has re-injuried the foot or he loves wearing it on cold days
The tragedy of it all is that last season was arguably the best of his career.
Simply cannot replace a spearhead like Tom.
Simply cannot replace a spearhead like Tom.
All he had to do was celebrate instead of looking like a bloke that had been shot.
We wouldve went close last year.
And this year couldve cemented the end of the era.
The year is over, there's no point bringing him back, get him cherry ripe for round 1 next year. 3 month preseason.
We need a new fitness bloke
we call that a ham pizza in my neck of the woods
Reminds me of a old mate of mine, only ate meat and bread. We used to stop at Melton for a pizza on the way home to Ballarat from the footy, often the highlight of the day back then. He'd get a hawaiian, no cheese, no sauce, no pineapple.

Need to plan For the future NOW.
Tom is now on the other side of finishing his career.
Was interviewed a day or two ago, seemed fairly positive his foot was healed but obviously needs to get into a running program to build some fitness after seven weeks off his foot.
