Ask Tex who he wants kicking the ball to him, M Crouch or Lyons? Lyons is a very good contested mark but is slow but if he can have a full pre season his endurance will be where it should be. As a centre clearance player and as a forward Lyons is better, around the field M Crouch is better.
With your draw it is a uphill battle to make finals but not impossible but imo by halfway through when Thompson makes the 300 he may be pushed out if finals are off the cards

Lyons does have the ability to hit a few forwards lace out, when he's just outside the 50 and has 0 pressure on him. Put him in the midfield where the heat is on and he has little time, and you'll find he's often dropping his kicks short or they are wide of the mark. Would definitely not rate him an above average field kick.
Id also argue Matt Crouch's contested game is just as good as Lyons' at this stage. Lyons might be ahead, but only slightly.
In terms of the future of our club, I know who Id be giving games to, and its definitely Matt Crouch. Lyons is pretty much playing at his full potential right now. Matt Crouch is capable of so much more.
Hell if I was coach, id even be giving Gore a run over Lyons. Again, not that I have some deep hatred for Lyons or think that he is utter garbage, but I just think Gore has a lot more potential to be unlocked and has many more strings to his bow.
