Quinten Lynch announces retirement

[Damon_3388]

Wasn't the most skillful, but always gave his all.

Possessed some of the most enviable musculature in all of footy too. A colossus.

 

[invinciBlues]

Always loved the way he'd back himself in for a set shot no matter where it was on the ground. 60 meters out on the flank with a strong head on wind? Yeah. You better believe he's taking off the glove for this one. Mouth guard is coming out too bitch. You like that?

Classic Sad to see a character leave the game unceremoniously like this, really should get a proper send off.

 

[Rex_Banner]

Was one of my favorites when he was an eagle, would have loved to see him retire with us

A colossus.

He made the Sherrin look like a kids footy in those mitts of his.

Was wondering when he was gonna announce it since he has vanished off the face of the planet this season. He really has been a disastrous pick up for Collingwood. I still think if he had sticked around for 2013 with the Eagles we could of done a little better than 13th.

Vintage Lynch

He was certainly a good player but I think he tarnished his legacy by trying to punch Wakelin's lights out in the 2004 GF.

You know that neither of them played in 2004 GF yeah?

Pretty sure 1 Lynch did.

Handy player. 200 games + a flag. Good career really.

 

[wilsonstheman]

devastated. the game needs characters like this. Hope he gets a job in the media - cant be any worse than luke darcy

 

[Quinz]

Kicked 3 goals in a one point Grand Final win. Better than some other more talented key forwards have managed. Good West Perth lad too! Hope he comes back to the club.

Got the absolute best out of himself, life member at the Eagles, premiership player, leading goalkicker. Really couldn't have asked for more from the Big Q.

LRT,Kepler and now this
They say uncos retire in threes


I just can't follow footy anymore if we don't have the big uncos running around.
Sad day for footy.

Kepler and Q Stick to lead West Perth to the 2015 flag

Wonder who now holds the mantle of having the biggest *mod edit* in the comp?

 

[Broken_Chairs]

He really has been a disastrous pick up for Collingwood.

don't think it was disastrous at all, he was an unrestricted free agent so cost them next to nothing. a quality player who could have filled a short term need, definitely worth a punt.

 

[Damon_3388]

Was there ever a time, Eagles fans, where Lynch was a skinny teenager? I genuinely can't recall it. Seems like he's always been a 110kg man mountain from the word go.

Great call, Had a few good games in 2013, only cost us salary, no draft pick.

As I said in my OP, his efforts against the Blues in R2 2013 went a long way to helping us win the game. Rucked solo after Jolly went down early in the 2nd quarter.

 

[AM]

Probably two years too late.

Was a more than handy player for the Weagles.

He was a big reason why we beat the Blues in the 1st Game MM Coached against us. He be Remembered at Pie Land for That

 

[MooreTreloar]

With our injury woes and finals a 0.5% chance I'd like to see him given a farewell game Friday night. Give the Pies supporters a chance to thank him.
