LJ was number 12, Lynch number 13 in the 2008 draft.
Everyone on an AFL list has talent, none (few?) have enough of it to be able to get by without working hard...

Don't worry there is a master plan.
Danger to tweet he has re-signed just as the AFC players bus is about to go under the bridge the Geelong faithful intend hanging a banner with "Come home Danger"
Nek minnit the tears will resemble monsoon rain clouds from the bridge.

Sorry to intrude, Don't do this often, well done on the resigning. Love seeing good players stay with their club. Here's hoping you add Danger to the list.
He's played the odd great game since his debut with us and just needs continuity to go with experience. We can all see he's got the talent and the work rate to be an important player for us (to go with the odd brain fade)
Watching the replay again, he is so important to our team. A hand in 2 of our first 3 goals
Na presser for Atkins signing then danger walks in and say oh yeah also I've just signed for 5 years *drops mic* then walks out

Bit like Boomer & Petrie.
Absolutely delighted to see Lynch get his 3 year contract extension and stay with us - he's earned it in spades IMO.
When you look at our forward line in totality our recruiters deserve a bloody medal. They have assembled the arguably the best forward line in the comp for almost bugger-all.
Jenkins - unproven basket-baller - cheap as chips trade from Essendon.
Lynch - (1st round draft pick by the Saints) for a 2nd rounder I think.
Walker - a free hit under the now defunct NSW scheme
Cameron - a rookie pick
Betts - Free agent
That, my friends is sheer brilliance by Rendell Ogilvie and the rest of their team. Take a bow boys you deserve it.

Love ya work Macca. Then we have pick 48 and 81 in Riley Knight and Rory Atkins pressing forward for their goal each week
Pretty amazing when you look at it like that.Absolutely delighted to see Lynch get his 3 year contract extension and stay with us - he's earned it in spades IMO.

So arguably the best forward line in the league came from trading picks 37 (Lynch) and 41 (Jenkins), a free scholarship pick, a rookie pick and a free agent.
Moneyball at it's best

We got 37 for Maric, who was originally picked at as Pick 40.

And that is one reason why I'm more than happy with our recruiting department. Our guys are top shelf. Yes there is the occasional one that doesn't work out, but our hits are very very good.

Not really. Moneyball's about finding formulaic value in players' statistical output that isn't recognized by the wider establishment.
Jenkins and Lynch might qualify as Moneyball players. Especially Jenkins, as his statistical output is similar to Tippett's and he's probably on half the coin.
Cameron, Betts and Walker aren't Moneyball players though. They're gold-plated stars, with intangible qualities that statistics could never fully show.
Almost - Jenkins came from trading pick 31, but we also got 41 (Grigg) in return.
Super result nonetheless!
Oops, I read the trade wrong.
