I would probably give Lynch a 1 yr contract, but if someone else is interested I would be happy to trade for a 3rd round.
Lynch may very well become a very good player, but I think he will need a good side around him to cover up his shortcomings.

Played his 5th game today, I think we can cut him some slack. For me he is a keep.

Yes he’s either a promote or delist for mine. I wouldn’t want to re-draft him as a rookie.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
I'm starting lose favour with JJ. I know he is being played out of position a lot lately but his become so outside he could be on another oval.
His 2 percenters are non existent and for somebody who is one of our experienced players he doesn't set a good example when things are going his way.
Sorry wrong thread. Mods please move to game day.

The question needs to be asked to JJ as to whether he wants to be there. He maybe another one who needs a good side to play his best football so he doesn't get the attention. At the moment he doesn't appear to be interested. Some of his efforts are embarrassing where he just puts his arm out and doesn't want contact. You can't have both he and Lynch in the same team.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
After the last few weeks and especially yesterday, I'm very open for offers from WA clubs for Marcus Adams. Frankly Flether Roberts looks a safer bet as a key defender, after a 1 game sample size.
Never seen someone so strongly built lack any ability to hold ground in a 1-on-1 marking contest. Considering the conditions yesterday, it was as inept a key defensive performance as I can recall. And I saw it first hand from about 20m away in the 1st and 3rd qtrs.

I know he's not exciting but I have a bit of time for Fletch. I know he's contracted so we keep him anyway but he seems a mile ahead of Collins and Young plays more of a loose intercept role than locking down on an opponent which isn't a criticism, just a reflection on the act they are two different players.
Roberts is a very good kick too - comes into the side after a 3 month layoff and is already taking the kick-ins. We know he isn't quick and will never be a champion but can play a role which is all that can be asked.
Adams did have a poor game but I suspect Trengove goes back onto Dixon if we had Boyd or a match-fit English available to play ruck. Sadly, I thought Morris had a nightmare too but the way he prepares and trains I want him to get a 1 year extension.

Adams has been poor for the last month.

Yep, been dreadful. And at 25yo I don't see inctemental improvement in his game either.

I love Morris, he is one of our best defenders of all time, however, father time catches up with all, no matter how much you train and prepare. He will be 36 on the 29th of December. Naughton is half his age - quite incredible.
We have all been critical of the club holding on to old champs too long, is this the case with Morris?

Adams was woeful and hasn't had a good few weeks, but we need some perspective. He's played under 40 odd games, he had a long layoff with injury, currently has little support and looks out of form. I would think he has certainly proven he can be a quality player and I'm not too concerned with the last few weeks.
Roberts was OK but his lack of pace and strength were hidden by the conditions. Even so, I don't think Roberts is an awful player but we haven't had him in our calculations since the end of 2016 despite re-signing him so I'm not sure why we would bother playing him over Collins and Young.

The short answer is yes, the long answer is that we need him to stay another year to help develop our young brigade and particularly our defenders even if he isn't playing regularly himself.
I see Morris' 2019 as being a "playing assistant coach" - if he only plays 5 games, I'm fine with that so long as he's mentoring Naughton, Young etc.

I could live with that.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
I'm not sure we find anyone in the draft with the picks we have (or don't have, or have that are already allocated to FS and academy players) that provide the short term and in all likelihood long term value a Dale Morris does.
Happy to hang onto him and let him get a game on merit or otherwise.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Adams has had a poor last few weeks, at the same time he was fantastic 6 weeks ago. I don't think we are helping our defenders at the moment with the ease the ball moves into our D50.
