There are no other teams
He is the Joke around these parts with nil Credibility - Most just either ignore or laugh at him these days

His biggest Claim was the week prior to the finals claiming North has a better list than Richmond then backed it up grand final week

North Melbourne are a struggling club but snake is struggling even worse
Won't be long before he claims the current North team is better than the all powerful Hawks 3 Peat team.

The guy is without a doubt "Not swimming between the Flags"

Why wouldn't GC match and force a trade .

Pick 6 or 7 is not enough for Lynch .If Collingwood or Hawks won the battle for Lynch they could get 2 top 10 picks, plus a player.
Lets say hawthorn and Collingwood both miss finals and finish 9th and 10th.

Lynch makes his choice and goes to one of those clubs. They hand over pick 9/10 to gc this season and a future 1st.

Would one not expect the future 1st to be in the 11-18 range.



Alternatively GC look likely to finish 16/15 and would get pick 4 or 5 via compo.

Pick 5
vs
Pick 10 + Pick 14 (2019)

What was Dangerfield traded for? That's best comparison in terms of contract situation and motive to change teams.

Comparing Lynch's situation to players like Lever and Treloar is flawed as niether of those had FA status.

Also keep in mind Dagerfield was considered one of if not the best player in the comp at the time he decided to changed teams...

There would have to be a solid player to go with that deal otherwise they just cop the compo.

Their best tactic in that scenario is to actually raid those clubs lists in return.

Yeah absolutely.

More so i was committing on the thinking Collingwood and Hawthorn have 2 top10 picks available. Imo they dont.

The player front is a whole new issue in its self. The player has to want to go to GC.

If GC plan to match they better have already lined someone up from that club, because otherwise they are giving up a top 5 pick for some late 1st round picks and a fringe player looking for opportunity.

At this point I wouldn't feel comfortable paying him over a million, 1.3 on Saturday with no presence about him.

He isn't doing anything that Peter Wright can't do, who is a much better kick for goal.

If we finish the season in the same spot on the ladder, I would probably just take the pick 5 compo and the cap space at this point. Tommy has the 11 games to prove me wrong.
Would this be the 2MP that hasn't played an AFL game for how long..? Ridiculous comparison, how well do you know your players.? Wright is more a Dixon type but good luck to you if you think he is capable of doing what Lynchy does.

Don't see Wright playing from the fwd 50 to the back 50 and then back to the fwd 50 and kicking goals.

Yeah right, 1 is a super mid & the other is a super CHF, no comparison once again, sorry. Their worth to other teams is completely different.

I think people look on Lynch with rose coloured glasses.

He has had 1 amazing season. Last year he was down and this season outside of one game where he ripped Carlton to pieces he has been down again. This season Tommy hasn’t lived up to this rumoured 2m price tag that keeps getting bandied about.

He had his chances this weekend to put his season back together, but 1.3 and getting out marked by Duncan in the defensive 50 shows that he isn’t worth that money at the moment. He has 11 weeks to show what he is worth. Not just to us, but to any team that wants him.

At this point I wouldn’t want to be putting anything over 1m to him. And for what we would lose with him leaving and Wright (who is coming back from injury) playing in his spot isn’t worth the 1m difference in the salary cap.

I think people forget that combo pick is just Afl add on , it did not take away the destination club any draft pick . Don't get me wrong I like combo pick ,but if two first round come my way I can't said no .

You managed a gr8 Claytons reply there, without actually refuting anything I said. Haven't seen any12 say 2mill o_O

Wright will not fill Lynchs' position, if he chooses to leave. Who is your next best on that line, Young.?

Where does it suggest I was replying to anything you say? I was just giving my opinion on the situation and using your post as a reference. Lynch and Wright are very different, but different doesn't always equal worse.

Well.. the fact you quoted my reply to this post, umm let me see.. 3 posts ago.?

2MP will cover Lynch's spot with ease.
He has great aerobic ability just like Lynch and is a better kick then
Lynch has only had one good year doing the things you described.

Pick 5 vs pick 10 and 14 etc....

Ill put you down for the latter and snake down in the former.

So 1:1 Its an interesting discussion, what do people prefer?

Expected the unexpected with GC, GCs give up pick 2 for Weller remember and use omeara pick on Bowes after Sydney bid on him from memory .

You're right their worth is completely different. The last two premiership CHFs were Zaine Cordy and Jacob ******* Townsend.

As I said, Danger was (and still is) a top 3 player in the comp when he requested to come home. Lynch is barely be in the top 20 at this point in his career.

Danger's worth was determined to be a single first round pick a fringe player who was drafted in the 50's and yet to establish himself. Danger's status as an FA and the compassionate grounds of his return home and loyal service to the club surely played a part in determining his value.

With that comparison in mind, Lynch would be a worth a first round pick and a fringe player like Shai Bolton. Or GC could take the compo which would be a single top 5 pick and maybe we could trade Shai for a nothing pick to GC as good will.

Gold Coast always seem hard to predict in the offseason. He's one of their captain and think they'll most likely try to make a stand like they did with JOM.

However taking that emotion out of it, you raise a good point about the compo pick, likely being as good as any potential trade they'll get.

Looking at it from a maximum return they'd be better of taking the compensation pick, however having an agreement in place where they can turn their later second rounders (Essendon and Geelongs ?) into another first. Currently works pretty well with AFL points system, so would pass the sniff test.

Means Goldcoast could walk away with picks 4 and 5 (potentially both the King twins) while having another mid first (Collingwood/Hawks) and late first (West Coast) to also add to their midfield.

Teams haven't really taken full advantage of the free agency compensation, we made a similar deal with Gold Coast a few years back with Brennan's compensation. Every opportunity for a team to do the same.

Absolutely dreaming in this draft.

If GC end ups with picks 4 & 5 from the compo, they’ve absolutely nailed it.
I hope not , taking the king twins just scare me off , GCS biggest weakness is taking care of injuries players , Omera , Bennell-, and one of the king twins already done ACL .
