Tom Lynch -- is he a criminally overrated footballer destined to disappoint at Richmond?

[A Cut Above]

As you know I dislike being judgemental or harsh in my assesment of opposition players, but with all the media brouhaha over Tom Lynch I decided to look closer at his previous accomplishments and am stunned at how average they've been.

• Lynch has kicked more than 40 odd goals only once, back in 2016 and has been a shadow on that player ever since
• He's kicked more than 5 goals in a game just twice, and both those times were against Carlton
• He averaged only 2 goals a game this year. Even Daniel Menzel, Josh Jenkins & Jarrad Waite averaged more
• Tom didn't land a sincle hit-out all year. Not one. As a 199cm forward ruck option... going to a team with shit rucks
• In almost every statistical area Tom's output has dropped since 2016

Is this mercenary really the star KPF he's being made out to be? Richmond are carrying on like he's the perfect future replacement for Riewoldt yet the stats prove Jack shits all over him and it'll likely be the equivalent of replacing his cousin Nick with Tim Membrey.

Sympathy post.
Must hurt that Hawthorn offered quite a bit more only to be told to GAGF, I'd rather take a pay cut to go to Tigerland.

 

[Paul007]

254 goals from 131 game's seems like a low output, the Suns are getting pick 3 as compo, disgraceful from the corrupt AFL.

Interesting stat: Lynch and Martin take up 21.6% of the entire tugger salary cap.

Luckily they both don't have ongoing injury concerns...oh wait.

Lol what BS.

Cap is 12.45 million 21.6% = approx 2.7 m, according to reports Lynch will be on about 500k next year, with his contract back ended even on the 900k average, the two would still be a long way from your wild guess.
As usual snake speaks with forked tongue.

Note to north the salary cap is not a savings fund to offer to every stray soul each year to pretend you're a destination club.

A corked thigh is an on going injury concern is it, going on your over the top sensationalism shall we arange a coffin for Jaeger?

Both the highly overrated Lynch and Chopsticks have serious knee issues, Lynch has had multiple knee issues and hasn't played for 6 months and according to the Tigger army Chopsticks knee was held together with gaffa tape which is why he was so shit this year.

 

[Benny78]

I've always felt he's highly overrated. Why sell the farm for a prospect hoping he'll kick as many goals as Jarrad Waite one day

I said more than 40 odd - implying he's only kicked more than 40-50 goals in a season once, which is perfectly true.

Gee whiz he hasn't even played a game for you lot and you're already ridiculously defensive.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Well done.

Do you do kids parties?

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

He is going from an anonymous guy in Qld to the key forward of Richmond. He's going to have to kick more goals, but will have much better delivery. He was the only forward in a weaker side, so was double and triple teamed. He will also have to get used to the spotlight.

 

[Snake_Baker]

So now they're dumping premiership players to make way for this turncoat?

The tuggers have a rich history of eating their own.

Richmond "kulcha" 101

Vague, at best (which it isn't).

I'm sorry facts got in the way. Now you've added the 50 figure you clever thing. It wasn't so hard, was it? Carry on.

Interesting stat....100% of Snakes Richmond salary figures are both made up AND inflated.

I'm prepared to shave $100K for Martin, but as for Lynch:



Let's round it down to $2.6 million.

Oh for the days when lolnorf have the issue of "dumping" premiership players. I just can't see it myself, sorry old chap.

Take your foodstamps and get back in line for your next attempt at a failed "big fish" Snakey boy.




The most hilarious part of ll this is that Tiges are paying Lynch about 100-150 more than Polec overall per season, and you guys have to give away a pick, probably top 10.

But for the next 3 seasons, Lynch will be 200k cheaper than Polec. It's delicious.

Well, we know it's false straight away if Tom Browne made it up. Possibly the only bloke ON THE PLANET whose figures are more baloney than yours.

Put up Jake Nialls article quoting $920k-$930k. You know, a CREDIBLE source.

Hmmmm.
I wonder why Hawthorn offered Lynch much more than Richmond did then? I also wonder why he turned them down.
I guess like Nawf, Hawf is a little club with little chance of significant success in the foreseeable future.

Its Bay13 dude, you needn't take things to heart so much.

Besides, so what if Tom's a trifle overrated? You still landed an above-average KPF for nothing so chin up.
