Shame about the injury. Hopefully it is not serious; whatever it is.

He looked really good yesterday. Was sticking marks again.

If we were to make finals we needed a fit Lynch for the entire year. Gonna be real hard now.

Unbelievable, he was starting to get back to the lynch we all love.
Fingers crossed it's just some tightness in the hammy and misses a couple weeks

Unfortunately has suffered a significant hamstring tendon injury that requires surgery. Out for months I’d suggest.
With a very short preseason, these soft tissue injuries should not come unexpected. Need the conditioning to withstand the rigours of a long season.
Especially the way Tom plays.

Rotten luck for Tommy and the team. We looked completely different with him crashing packs and taking big grabs. Balta out for up to five weeks as well.

Lynch gonna be gone for the best part of the year I'd imagine. Surgeon needs to look, so I'm guessing that's off the bone?

That hurts. Lynch made a massive difference to our forward line yesterday. Also to the team because he plays angry and that has a knock on effect. Add Balta to the mix and really our season is shot.

We still hold our first round pick this year right?

Richo on 3AW yesterday said he hoped there wasn’t tendon damage associated with the hamstring as that would require surgery… unfortunately sounds like Richo nailed it

I know it's a shocker for Lynch. ..the only bright note if you could call it that is his body has not been crashed and bashed for 2 years. Maybe he will be still playing when we challenge again.

Poor Tom. Finally looked the footballer we all knew he could be and snap.

Poor Yze, can't get a run at it.

Blessing is this year is almost a free hit.

Could the club announcement about Lynch and Balta be the ultimate April Fools Day stitch up of all time?

The two are actually all good to play next week and the real announcement to be made in a few hours

I wouldn't put it past them, but would be an extremely cruel joke 🤣
