Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 15 vs. Brisbane - Gabba, Fri 04/09 @ 7:50pm AEST

Grundy kicking 2.4 is better then a mannequin in Cameron.

 

[stormskye]

Since when does Grundy have a track record of being damaging forward?

This weekend when he kicks 6 .

And we realise the key to our KPF woes has been right in front of us.

lynch dominates and becomes our no 1 ruckmen In his place.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Haven't seen much of the Lions recently - has Witherden been out of form? I remember the media constantly gushing over him the last year or two

His stats seem ok since returning.

 

[Robroy22]

I'm guessing we'll be the only team in AFL history to have two ex soccer goalkeeper's playing for us tomorrow eh?
Thought Gimpy would have made that point by now....and all thet kinda palava re

Did I do that properly?

 

[Quicky]

Selection this week

 

[Quicky]

If you're looking for a savior Lynch isn't your man. He could surprise but I think he will struggle to kick any goals

We don't need a saviour we need a mullet. Hold on to your shorts and enjoy the ride.

 

[Quicky]

There's some highlights of Lynch from the scratch match in this video (5:21, 8:15):

Obvious selections positions wise, would have preferred Murphy over Lynch cause I rate him much higher.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

If Lynch plays well and is serviceable, what do we do when JDG is back?

Do we drop WHE or Lynch?

I’d drop WHE.

Imagine Mihocek & Stephenson getting the 4th & 5th defender.

 

[grayza2018]

Don't mind the changes, the Pig straight to Neale hopefully

Lynch can hopefully enjoy the runaround and maybe snag a goal too.

Murphy close again, I hope he can squeeze in for a taste before season's end

Like what happened with Witts?

 

[foreigner]

Best case finals for him I think. His was a bad injury, played entire game with it somehow...

He seems to be training with the main team, so can't be far off

 

[10571z]

Great selection. Lynch can’t do less than Cameron. Hopefully he rucks and leave cox as a genuine forward

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Could have had three.... Wasnt Lachie Keefe a goalie?

 

[gouki88]

Could have had three.... Wasnt Lachie Keefe a goalie?

I vaguely remember that. He looked awful last night on McKay

 

[Flags needed]

$80 bahaha

not a bad return for a $5 bet in a corporate box - not many tipped Cox for 1st goal that day

Ben Reid listening intently in there.. looks like he's checking his hammy though...

 

[Albert Parker]

His stats seem ok since returning.

Ex the kick out duties? Being held out of the team by Birchall and his beer gut.
Witherden has a contract until 2022 but will be popular with other clubs come the end of the year.

 

[Horaceg]

This weekend when he kicks 6 .

How about 6 each with both rotating through the ruck

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Good to see the Pig find his way back in, his work returning was very sound. And well done Max Lynch, much deserved from all reports.

 

[Hairydawg]

Sier for C Brown would have made it perfect , how far off is Sier? Like the ins though.

The Inns are on his mother’s side.

 

[lyfsux]

Only has to get 2 disposals and he'll be a savior

 

[gouki88]

Only has to get 2 disposals and he'll be a savior

A 100% improvement on Cameron!

 

[Football God]

I been looking forward to Lynch's debut all year - he has the attributes to potentially be another BLICAVS, which hopefully his performances in the medium term will confirm.
If all he offers is the ability to shadow and physically pressure and wear down Nic Nat when we next play WC, I'll be happy.

I haven’t seen Lynch play so I’m very excited to see him out there.
I wanted to get more info on this. You’re saying he has the attributes to potentially be another Blicavs?
You’re getting me excited, I hope you’re not over exaggerating because Blicavs is probably the best runner in the competition, who can run all day. As I said I haven’t seen much of Lynch, who’s solid as a brick shithouse. I hope his athleticism can keep up with players like Blicavs, Grundy and NicNat.

He has a bigger Tank than Grundy and is always ahead of him in the 2k time trial and usually finishes in the top 5 and was third this year behind Rantall. You need to be very agile with quick reflexes to play goalie in soccer, which was his previous sport, so hopefully that’s an indication of his athleticism. I doubt he is as athletic as Nic Nat - who is a freak, but Nic Nat has a small tank.

Rantall wins another time trial

Draftee Jay Rantall has furthered his reputation as a running machine
