Was brilliant last season & pivotal to our Premiership hopes. Here's hoping Tom has another great year or two in him yet.
Most ridiculous non AA equivalent to Dusty’s and vlaustins exclusions. Clearly per game was the best FF.

Kicked well. Best one on one / contested mark and good with goal assists too. Need to look past that last goal/behind.

hope he kicks the ton next year
the forwards will be getting the ball into the fwd line way more with the quality in midfield, will certainly help the backline not being bombarded as much
We’re going in with a new game plan next season.
Tom merely a decoy.
Kick it to Dusty our plan A

Soft tissue issues again in pre season let’s hope he doesn’t have more of them during the year to prevent us finals chances

I’d rather lynch in the forward at least he has a good goal ratio. Dusty who spends 80% mid/fed gets 1-2 goals we don’t need that as a permanent

With Taranto,Hopper, Prestia and Bolton in the middle, I’d suggest Dusty, who has missed a lot of football and is not getting any younger, will play forward a lot more than on ball.
Wouldn’t surprise to see him 70% forward. That’s 4 goals per game territory

Plantar Fasciitis can be really tricky especially In heavy people.
He’s so damn important to us I hope they get on top of it..
Tom’s been seen in a moon boot and on crutches. Has he had surgery to release it? If so recovery is 3-6 weeks. Maybe they took that route rather than the conservative rest option?

Been dealing with Plantar Fasciitis which is worse than one of those 3 weekers.

Apparently coming along favorably from what little info there has been.

Thanks. News seemed good today. Had a little post season Op on the foot and the new Fitness man seemed more than happy with how he is trekking, good news

Just on Lynch, I'm told he did indeed have surgery before the break as he has been battling plantar fasciitis for some time.

The good news is the surgery should give him total relief from the PF issue, the bad news is he will struggle to get much work in over the pre-season and that makes the season that much harder.

He is running laps and 100s now.
How long until he would return to full training?

Not worried about Lynch's fitness at all

He is a mature player with over 10 years of preseasons under his belt and is a pro athlete that looks after himself and his body
provided his surgery went well and no complications the next 2-3 weeks he will be quick to get to peak fitness

Somewhere in the 6 - 10 week range post surgery he will be fully up and going.

All very true but every player will say that without a decent pre-season their lives are that much harder in season.

Getting fit is easy but there's no substitute for the full conditioning and touch you get from doing the work.
