Caution - don't want to lose our forward pressure!
I know Mini has been missing, but hard to gauge his impact with positioning when locking down.
Tackle and pressure Lynchy. It's not all about marks and goals.
But they are nice, like peanut butter on toast.

Mini hasn't been locking down, that's why he'll be at Sandy in the rain and hail on Sunday.

Tom brings a different look to the forward line and one that I'm looking forward to, going forward.

Subtle nod to that other Ranga, Bernard?

Good luck T. Lynch.
Make a spot for yourself. I've been looking forward to your debut.

I'm happy we have blooded a few players this year.....can't do any harm in that.

Good luck Number 29

Mini should get back but has been a bit quiet. Lynch looked ok in the nab so hope he does a Jack Steven and kicks a bag.

I'm not sure what the idea of structure around the bombers is but you would think Mc evoy might mind Hille a bit tighter. Lynch and steven are a couple of extra small forwards that may chip in if we aren't scoring. Steven may get a bit of a run on the ball leaving Lynch as a more permanent forward.

Anyway kick a bag Lynchy.

Not expecting Lynchy to do too much tonight but I am expecting to like what I see.

Good luck Tommy.

I don't think Lynchy is too mini. His height is a little deceptive. Just a bit.

On SEN last night they announced:
'... and St.Kilda's new Irish recruit Tommy Lynch will make his Debut!'
Nice.

gringo · Post: # 964578Post **gringo** » Fri 30 Jul 2010 3:41pm

I thought he was meant to be a mid size forward? Bigger than he looks obviously. Shouldn't have claimed small forward status for him. But not key position either- unless you count Hammill. Sydney always looked harder to match up on because of that size of forward, he could be a master stroke if it works.

And how's the 'Oh F***' look on the Hawks ruckman...

St. Luke · Post: # 964583Post **St. Luke** » Fri 30 Jul 2010 3:47pm

I'm looking forward to what he's got to offer. It'd be an extremely nervous and anxious time for him and I wish him all the best!

I've absolutely loved the rise and rise of Jack Steven! Consistency and determination wins you game time with the Saints, you just need to have a dip and give it your best shot!

Onya Tommy lad good to see a local getting on with it.

2 things you may see if Ross experiments with Tom is him play across the half backline and a run and carry through the midfield he can do both.

Let's hope Tom Lynch can have a career like these other fellas who've debuted for the Saints in No.29 over the last 25 years.

Nathan Burke
Austinn Jones
Andrew Thompson
Steven Baker

Forgive me, I only remember him in 29 before no.3. I was 4 years old when he debuted.

Pecko was No 29 too (but I think he debuted as 51??)
All five went on to top 10 numbers. Agreat breeding ground No 29!
