Past #42: Tom Lynch - officially retires from the AFL as a player

[muttley45]

Instructing kicking to a team mates advantage should be his focus as an assistant coach, iirc, he used to be pretty good at it at the Crows.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Surely pencil him in for inactive list/retire in round 10 opening up a mid season draft spot

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Not against him playing some games if he earns it. Would really help take some pressure off Larkey, CCJ, Chom and Zurhaar as they continue to develop.

That being said, only if he earns it, or theres enough injuries to warrant it.

 

[Roo Beauty]

He may pull on the boots if Covid hits the league.

 

[krakouers]

It’s formal now?
Welcome Tom

How does he go with not handballing to people's feet? Could use a few tips on that in real time!

 

[bennymate]

Wouldn’t be against him getting an AFL-level game or two to help our transition a bit more.

Yep i'd love to see him get a game to take some heat off Souv.

Got big wraps from Lark's yesterday for what he's brought to the club as a coach (1.20 into the video).

 

[King Corey]

Doesn't help our calendar sales though.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

has he showed up in the VFL?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

He hasn’t.

 

[The Nostradamus]

has he showed up in the VFL?

He’s solely a coach wasting a list spot

I just want to know if we can put him on the inactive list at round 10 to have a msd pick without being injured or do we have to “retire” him

retire

 

[hellas_johnny]

this choice has now really pissed me off. I was happy for us to take him if he was going to play vfl, how good would it be for curtis comben ford etc to learn off him on the field in the forward line. I really hope we retire him mid season otherwise itll make even more of a mockery of the situation

Yeah I always assumed that’s what we were doing. Weird

 

[Themanbun]

Lmao

 

[DocSholl]

The irony being we are crying out for exactly his type of player.

 

[The Nostradamus]

How good is having this bloke on the list!

Really improving our development and glad we didn’t take another ready made KPP

We’ve got 3 weeks to retire him to open up spots prior to MSD

As far as issues at the club rate, this wouldn't even rate a mention.

Don't know it's an issue, but what again was the actual point of it? The club may as well offer up a list spot as a raffle prize with every membership bought.

The club has no soft cap, and it got creative to bring an additional coach on board. Pointing to our on field performance as some measure of failure is disingenuous

Oh I thought it was quite an ingenuous idea of mine. Was just asking a question.

Trust me, I'd love to strap the boots on Rickety! But the club has gone backwards far enough!
