Oppo Camp Max Lynch (Traded to Hawks 2021)

[jmac70]

Disagree, at the start to the season he was clearly the leading candidate for the number 1 ruck role based on pre-season form. Just got injured at the wrong time and even when Grundy was struggling pre-bye, Witts was still out injured. Grundy hit his straps after the bye and rest as they say is history. Sliding door moment.

I just don't think he has the natural aggression needed to make it.

 

[SchuPie]

He was really pushing himself hard today.

Not sure if he had done as much work as Callum / Daics / Kirby, but at one point they were made to do a series of 400s (running / walking / sprinting) and he led the boys on every lap

Not to mention he's extremely slow, useless below his knees and a very poor mark for his size

Time will tell on that, sadly, if he does make it wont be at the Pies.

I wish him all the best. I still remember that clip on The Club when he was cooking bolognese with The Seed. Happy days.

We lost Witts because he was too good for the VFL. Tried for Minson who would have been a one year fix only but he (probably wisely) chose to retire over another year playing VFL. If Lynch doesnt work out in a year or so we move on again. Nothing but upside for him. Picked as ïn case of emergency""depth so lets see how he develops in the VFL and pray Grundy stays as durable as he appears to be so far in his career.

Grundy thrives on the work. The man is a beast!

Signed Robbo's Mum.

Yes she should have been busy all those years ago

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Just dropped in to see how my man Lynchy was doing.

He is such a big thing.
For his age looks Mumford like, not thin (not fat) just solid.

Nice project type.

Who knows.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

I have a feeling this kid and Brodie are going to get along like a house on fire and really challenge each other.

I have. A feeling if anyone tries challenging our great Grundy
He'll turn them into his biatch

 

[Saintly Viewed]

What are the chances with my name?

Slightly less

Agree, losing Witts has certainly elevated his importance. A lot depends on Cox developing over the preseason as I think he's a better option to carry the 1st ruck role than White.

Cox may not be a star.
But for back up he has a few really good qualities.

He's really really really tall!
When he's competing, he does tussle to at least bring ball to our advantage.
He's quite football smart for such a new comer.
Works hard by all reports.
Has a very simple technique, keeps things simple....

It's not his technique that I'm worried about as I think he works really hard to achieve a 50-50 contest. It's his tank. Even at VFL level he'd rarely play more than 40-50% game time in the ruck.

Fair point.
That must be considered.
Let's hope then that his work ethic gets him to the requisite fitness level of longer time in the ruck (.as required).

Won the time trial today. Well done Maxy! Not bad for a big boy

 

[Rorzza]

So Maxy might have a reasonable or developed tank, does come from an academy, still great to hear!

Time trial for the new boys. Quite impressive for a big bloke. Bit of a worry for the others.

Time Trial is only a Small Part of Footy. Does Help but not everything

Nice job Tangles!

Not sure if it says more about him or the other new kids. Either way a good tank for a tall is a nice string to his bow.

Not sure if it says more about him or the other new kids.

Keeffe, Thomas, Schade and Brown are the indicators. The first three are mature players with years of training at the elite level, and you would assume are very fit right at the minute.

Brown's endurance results have never been a problem through the U/18 pathways, and he seems to be a fairly strong runner.

So I would suggest that this is more a good result for Lynch than a bad result for others.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Thats a pretty huge result for a big bloke so early in his career (ie a few weeks)

 

[Quicky]

Not to mention he's extremely slow, useless below his knees and a very poor mark for his size

I'd say good size, solid frame, good tank, good tap and good overhead mark are a fairly promising development base for a young ruck. I'd prefer those traits in my ruck than good below the knees and straight line speed. He covers the ground well enough for a guy his size. Not sure where you get the knock on his marking, the player bios i've read have it as a strength.

His Marking is Hot and Cold. Can Take Some but Drop some as too.

His Big Problem he is very new to the Game and need to learn and get Feel of the Game.

Has Potential but long way to go

Think he was talking about Witts.
