Draft Profile Tom Lynch (Dandenong Stingrays)

Measured in at 199 cm as well at the Draft Camp. Looks like he has grown, and not just up. As the year has gone on, he's gone from a huge maybe (who is that kid?) to a certainty to be drafted. If his interview is as good as some of test results, he could be a smokie for a top 10 gig.

I'd be very suprised if he didn't go top 10.

Hes no smokey for top 10 mate. The only reason he'll make it ouside the top 10 is if GC know they can wait until pick 11just before Melbournes pick as a few of the sides before then will be looking for midfielders.

would love him at melbourne, and i think there is a good chance of him being around, GC will be taking best available for the majority of their first round picks, i would not be suprised to hear Lynch called out @ no.12

while it does seem plausible that he may go top 10, with GC locking Day away it is possible they may leave the drafting of another KPF untill the second round
 
Where does everyone think he would go if every club picked the best available? Obviously a lot of clubs will be picking on needs (i.e mids) in the top 10.
 
Growing in stature
"This time last year Tom was playing for Sorrento," Stingrays region manager Darren Flanigan says. "He was on our list as an under-16 and he was about the same size as Mitch Hallahan at that stage.

"He was about a six-foot midfielder and we had Tom Scully, Ryan Bastinac, Luke Parker, Hallahan and a few others so he was just outside our midfield group, but we got a call about April or May last year and someone said that he was playing centre half-forward for Sorrento.

"I thought 'well what's happened there?' and he's had the big growth spurt and gone from a fairly clean, skilful midfielder to a centre half-forward in about eight months.

There's every chance the youngster is still growing having shot up five centimetres since the start of the year and Flanigan believes Lynch has the skills and demeanour to make the most of his new-found stature in elite company.

This sort of stuff is making me nervous that Essendon might pounce. We're in no desperate need for KPP, but with that kind of height and skill set he has that ugly word 'potential' all over him. He's a bit risky, but he could become an absolute gun. There aren't many tall backs who share his level of endurance. Saying that, he's just as easily bust as he'll be the next Franklin or Tippett.
 
So much raw talent with plenty of upside wouldn't be surprised if Westcoast considered him at 4.
 
Picks of the draft: Tom Lynch
Lynch was the slowest player over 20 metres at draft camp (3.31 seconds), but he reached level 14.6 in a fantastic beep test and backed up in the time trial (10.41 minutes) and the repeat sprint test (24.52 seconds for six consecutive 30-metre sprints), showing off an endurance that will only improve as he settles into a full-time training environment.
