Max Lynch

[nostalgicsaint]

Hope we're into this guy, reportedly will be looking at his options this off season.

Beat Gawn when he played this year and like ryder/Marshall can go forward if required.

Would be the perfect backup, definitely an upgrade on Hunter & McKernan. If recruiting Ben King becomes an option, he would become a priority.

Like the looks of this guy, but we’re probably more likely to land Mason Cox, who Collingwood will be looking to offload to give Lynch an opportunity. I don’t rate Cox as a forward, but I guess he could be useful as a ruck option if he has the tank. Would prefer the younger option though.

[The Fireman]

replace the Jack's with Max's ?

Cox doesn’t have the tank, hence why the pies don’t play him in the ruck much at all. He is also 30 years old so is unlikely to change his capabilities to do so.

Who is Max Lynch?

[1965 Saint]

If we bring in Cox that will be the last straw.

[Banger9798]

Collingwood mate of mine said on Friday that the Saints should lure him.
With Grundy on his huge contract he won't get a look in ,and has been going well in the VFL.
Would be a good get
Heath as developing ruckman, Hunter and McKernan and Alabakis out the door

[1965 Saint]

No, no, no to Cox. He’s got tickets on himself.

[B.M]

Who

Never heard of him

Not even an AFL player atm

[Ghost Like]

If Harves does not get the job at Collingwood, I'd like to think he'd come home & bring Lynch if he deems him good enough & gettable.

[magnifisaint]

Huh?

Same was true of Draper when we went after him.

Had we have got him I believe our season would be in different shape right now.

& Darcy & Gawn & Grundy & MARSHALL.

Who is Max Lynch?

He’s a tall bloke with brains

He’s a tall bloke with brains

Not if he plays for Collingwood

[B.M]

I’d heard of Draper, he was a dominant VFL ruckman with obvious talent

[kosifantutti]

I just want to know if there's a photo of him.

I hope our recruiters add

"Who has B.M heard of?"

To the criteria they look at moving forward.

Draper had not played an AFL game, Lynch had and did well.

In no way am I saying he is better than Draper, just that it isn't true to say "he is not even an AFL player"

[B.M]

Is he playing in the AFL at the moment?!

He’s behind
Grundy, Darcy, Cox at Collingwood

Grundy is a gun so fair enough

Darcy is ok and has potential

Cox is a Gumby

Lynch is down the pecking order - why

And I believe the next ruckman we recruit can also play forward, so Marshall can rotate with him. Can Lynch play forward?
I’d say no, otherwise he’d be playing now. They have a s*** forward line

[Ghost Like]

Do we really have to wait for a player to get a Brownlow vote, a Top 10 B&F before we recruit him or encourage him?

If that were to be the case, we could kiss goodbye to Marshall, Connolly, Byrnes, Bytel...all players discarded by posters on here after their efforts in the VFL or one or two or ten games in the Seniors.

I do not understand the reluctance to encourage kids or in the case of ruckmen, young men.

We bemoan our development of players but it seems some of our supporters are equally inept.

And we wouldn’t have Jack Steele

Lynch is still growing into his tall frame. He needs to gain some bulk to play as a ruckman but he has upside and he can play forward

[B.M]

He’s 200 and 100kg so it’s not like he’s a skinny kid

Steele was a far different proposition

We cherry picked him out of a ridiculous GWS talent pool!

And he’d played games there, and dominated 2s and was a relatively high DP being starved of opportunity
Tim Membrey the same
