Noooooooooo.

I doubt Bucks meeting Lynch within the past fortnight would've been their first encounter.

My personal opinion is that Bucks would've met him earlier this year (who knows how many times) and would've painted a picture of who's who, what we're doing, his role (say replacing Mihocek/Reid) etc. Solely a pitch for him as a player and us as a team.

It wouldn't surprise me if the meeting being reported as happening within the past fortnight was just Bucks checking on his welfare post surgery.

Ned Guy's meeting this week apparently went for an hour. I'm intrigued as to whether this would've been to go over a potential contractual offer with Tom and his manager; money, years and whatever else comes with a contract. Whether it was our first offer, a revision or our final offer, and whether they are accepting it, who knows.

It's gonna be a long couple of months until after the GF.

Aside from the obvious of being a blow in to a premiership team, he doesn't fit Richmonds game style.

He isnt Reiwoldt mobile. They have to change their game plan to fit him in.

He is plug n play at the pies and hawks.

He sounds like a flog

Very much so.

What we need is someone who can be a forward target. Doesn't need to be Riewoldt mobile as Jack is the one who pushes up the ground. What we need is a strong, marking presence up forward when Jack does go up the ground.

Lynch is EXACTLY what we need.

Why does the reigning premier and best team in the comp want to change a winning formula?

Remember when everyone thought Buddy was going to GWS, this is that situation

Not changing a winning formula at all. Will be the same game plan. Only with a better marking target in Lynch.

Just on HS now, swings & roundabouts!

“But Evans said last night they did not know he had met with Collingwood until Nathan Buckley’s comments last week.

Lynch now has 10 weeks to consider his destination, but it is understood getting to Collingwood has real appeal for the Suns forward.

He believes he has a chance to build alongside a young side, while Richmond could conceivably have won two premierships by October.

A $1 million-per-season contract of up to seven seasons could be heavily back-ended, as reported in the Herald Sun this week”

Lynch is a far superior player. Would be like you guys replacing Mayne with Josh Kelly.

I'm hoping this is what we're doing: replacing Mayne and Wells with Josh Kelly

Front bar stating heard just before went on air- Hawks with $8M over 7 years.

 

[HeathySure]

Lynch is not about the money. if it was money he would have stayed at GC

I find it bemusing I know about your gamestyle than you. You learn things every day.

Front Bar...Boozehound Molloy and the team. That's up there with listening to KB!

 

[Unknown Identity]

If Tigers get Lynch I'm moving to the U.S for a few years.

Cant follow NBA cuz Warriors have ruined it, might move to Dallas and watch my Cowboys play.

I thought the same to be honest.

Guys I have news to share. No one will know me so take this as you will. But lynch will be at Collingwood next year 100%. Agreed to terms this week. Finally Decided on Collingwood 7 weeks ago. There has been several meetings with him over the last 5 weeks negotiating the final deal. It was finalised on Monday and signed. He will be a magpie as a free agent.

Ps I live in Sorrento
