Finally a post that isn't complete an utter rubbish in this thread. Tom Lynch is ******* star who is sick of busting his ass for a side he has no intentions of playing for beyond this season. All these so called criticisms of his game couldn't be any further from the truth. Lack of work rate? Injury free he is hardest working forward in the competition. Doesn't tackle? averaged 1.9 last season and he absolutely loves smashing blokes into the ground, which he can be prone to giving away silly free's as a result but the idea that he doesn't tackle is ridiculous. Doesn't ruck? This is the only one that is true but even so there is a very good reason for it, that being he doesn't have to, Gold Coast play with at least 2 tall forwards every week and have Day or Wright to go into the ruck when Witts needs a rest.

But the most ridiculous notion people seem to be sprouting is the idea Lynch will ruin our game plan. The reason our game plan become more successful at the back end of last season was we finally were playing with 22 blokes capable of playing their role, it took us 17 games of time wasting from Soldo, Griffiths and Elton to realise we were better off playing small instead of tall but realised it at the right time. Now if you add a player like Tom Lynch you're not only adding a player capable of playing his role but adding player who makes others around them better and will take the opposition best defender every week. That means Jack gets of the leash, it means the smalls can't be made void whenever we play a good intercepting team and aren't winning the ball out of the middle. Tom Lynch doesn't make our game plan worse, he makes it even harder to counter and should we get his signature without giving up too much then we are for sure going to competing for the flag whilst our current big 4 remain together.

Collingwood favourites to land Tom Lynch according to Tom Browne.

Lynch is after success so obviously we’re out of the picture.
Oh really Tom you think, well think about this, if the pies can't match lolnorfs DeGoey offer despite the fact they are already paying him...., right have you processed that part....good now onto the second part........how in the hell are they going to find the cash for Lynch unless they sell over a million dollars worth of players which would screw their depth...........i await your Harvard University reply.

We should have a statue of Grubby at punt road. Derailed our deal for Treloar by telling the Pies what we were offering, who then offered Treloars girlfriend 500k to play Solitaire on a PC in some office. After we were left at the altar, we go and get premiership heroes Dan Rioli and Dion Prestia with the picks we would have given for Treloar. Grubby then gets the Pies free agents Wells and Mayne on million dollar contracts, before leaving in disgrace. Now he's back trolling the Pies by offering 5 mill for Degoey.
Don’t forgetting Grubby pushed Balme out of Collingwood and he came to Richmond then we won the flag while Collingwood was left empty handed with Grubby banned for 12 months.

'I think they now lead the race for Tom Lynch'.

So no source to speak of, but he thinks it.

What a scoop.
Tom Brown-nose admitted he was wrong on Talking Footy a few weeks a go.
"Originally I thought that he was after money, I quoted about 1.5 million, Don't get me wrong I never met a footballer and doesn't want 1 and half million"

Basically saying he was speaking out of his arse with no substance to what he was reporting.

I was implying 100% of our million dollar men did in fact play well in a shit team. :p

Whereas the potential million dollar man is playing like a shit truck in a shit team.
Key difference: the ball is always in the midfielders area. A full forward cant do much if the ball’s up the other end the whole time
