You've lost 6 games that Lynch has played in this year. Geelong has lost 4 in total.
Something isn't quite adding up here.

Miller was pants'd last week and had his worst game in 3 years. Has had a great season but I dont think you'd want the last few weeks to be his promo reel.
Was very good this week but the last couple of months he strung together a bunch of strong games in a row.

The talk by Tigers fans of Lynch being in the squad or team is laughable. The laughable part is the opposition supporters refuting it. Of course he should be in the squad and he should be damn close to the team. The best 'true' Full Forward in the game.

If Lynch missed the losses that they lost he wouldn't have won the wins that they won because he would have won the losses before he lost the wins.

It is lineball on Hawkins and Lynch for me now. Both teams have easy kills in the last round so a bag from either could tip it their way

Seriously. I can't even begin to describe the difference between our intelligence in these matters.
It's somewhat akin to the difference between Tom Hawkins and Jay Neagle.
Tom Lynch has had a great year, if he hadn't missed 4 games he'd be well in contention. His latest haul probably gets him into the squad now. He's still well behind the top 3 key forwards though.
Firstly, the reason why Lynch should not be in the AA team was that Hawkins has kicked more goals, even though Lynch averages more goals per game.
Now Lynch has kicked just as many goals, and we are talking about goal assists lol
What happens when after next week, Lynch has kicked more goals than Hawkins?
Wait for it, its gunna be, goals aren't that important for full forwards lol
So in the end its gunna be taking contested marks and kicking goals is not important for full forwards.
Watching you all tie yourselves up in knots and digging holes for yourselves to reverse engineer the reason why I am right, and you are wrong has been very amusing
Please carry on
Next I'm going to have hear about Hawkins ruckwork lol.

Oh no, don't jump ship now, you have made your bed, sleep in it lol
The difference in our intelligence is plain for all to see.
Its the difference between Tom Hawkins and Tom Lynch, and you can't see it.

Um, it was always entirely based on the combined total.
It's just so so funny to see the mental gymnastics you put surrounding it.
Nobody is saying that contested marks is unimportant. I'm saying that goals and goal assists take precedence. As I always have, and always will.
I said at that point in time that he wasn't in the squad. I deal with facts as they come to hand.
Yes it is. It's just funny because literally everyone that doesn't have yellow and black blinkers on know who's more intelligent.
EthDog has kept a running total of goals plus goal assists for virtually the whole season. He updates it every week.
We haven’t had to reverse or tie ourselves in knots over anything as the argument has been the same from start to finish.

Nope, pretty sure we've just been talking about stuff like goals, goal assists, score involvements - just the usual forward stuff. Nice try thoughIt’s already like that. They are talking about tackling, ruck and clearance work. Poor blokes have nothing left

Usual forward stuff is taking a big clunking contested mark and kicking a heap of goals. If you are good enough to kick em and you are a full forward you do.
Did you get a chance to see lynch do that today .
He kicked 8, that’s more than Hawkins has ever kicked on 1 day in his career .
Lynch also took 7 contested marks , that is also more that Hawkins has ever accomplished in his career as well .
But if you actually paid attention , this has been brewing, his whole year has been unbelievable
Look the good news is after todays performance everyone has started coming around , and I am sure this week , with kingy or huddo or Gerald Wheatley will mention “ you know what ? Lynch should be in the aa team “it and then all you sheep will say wow thats a good point he should lol

Yes, aspects of being a footballer.
What about pressure acts that result in goals?
Is that relevant?
I mean if goal assists are relevant, what about pressure acts from a KPF that result in goals?
That's just as important right?

Lynch wins in goals, same total with better average. We’ve established the score assisting mate I’m referring to the other stuff. You’ve got nothing else of significance.

You keep saying this without listing what Lynch is better in apart from goals and contested marks.
Or explaining why contested marks even matter if he’s taking less marks inside the forward 50 to assist in his goal tally.
The argument is tantamount to saying that Gawn should miss the AA side as a ruckman’s primary job is to win hit outs and hit the ball to his teammates’ advantage, something for which he’s not even ranked in the top 5 in the league either in total (understandably as he shares duties with Jackson) or percentage.
