[Lynch takes a mark]

Not bad for a second gamer

will make a good tagger once he puts on about 5-8 kg's & gains the body strength required, showed that he could cut it in close & get first hands to the ball but was then out muscled almost every time.

Strong over head, reads the play well & looks the type who will have good areobic capacity in the future. Tidy skills and plays mainly a short game so you wouldn't want him being the one to kick it into the forward line.

Obvious comparison is with Kane Cornes

 

[larrikin]

The kid was great tonight. He looks about 12 up close though

 

[Biggie]

Once his weight increases this kid will be very good in the packs imo.

Just looked a little small but by no means over-awed.

A gun.

 

[Special Agent]

I thought his first game was fairly average and vastly overrated by many, but he turned me around tonight.

 

[West Coast Premiers 2006]

If nothing else he was bloody good at getting his hands free in the tackle and getting it away to a player under low pressure.

 

[Ryu23]

A new hope.

 

[Stenglein's a Champ!]

Very, very impressive tonight.

 

[larrikin]

Very, very impressive tonight.

If Spaanderman gets elevated ahead of him I will dead set start a riot.

And for those who don't want Chicky delisted, this is the sort of player the club is trying to keep as an alternative

 

[94_Eagles]

First rookie in a while who looks like he can actually do some real damage in a game a-la a Pendlebury or Thomas.

 

[wce4premiership]

Tried hard, my drunken mate thought he was beau waters when he nearly bumped someone.

 

[InCase]

He did awesome for a second gamer, get enough game time next year - possible rising star?

 

[materamagic]

The kid showed some promise.

 

[Embers]

Decision making and to steal a line from soccer his creativity is what won me over. Club should promote him now

 

[dan kerr]

played very well used the ball well to , only thing that has let him down is his ability to run the game out. i think with a good pre season he should be a Permanent fixture in the team next year

 

[peterss]

Theres only one J-Mac!

 

[Hap Hapablap]

awesome game. was absolutely impressive. will push out that hack rojo.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Considering:
a) It was only his 2nd game
b) It was a semi-final
c) We only had a 3-man interchange for most of the night

He did pretty well. Would love to see more of this guy.

 

[nameless]

very happy with him. glad he got a taste of finals and especially a final such as that!

 

[Isandula]

Now he does look good and played very well for 2nd gamer in such a high pressure final. What really impressed me was his ability to get out tricky situation, esp when team mates decided to give him the ball (on a few occasions) when surrounded by magpie players, excellent job and something to really look forward too
