...He finds space in the forward half of the ground...
I just wanted to highlight this bit, and point out that the 'space' he found in the Adelaide forward line is going to be filled with Taylor Walker, James Podsiadly and Eddie Betts. It's all well and good finding space when there is no one else there, but we'll see how he goes when he's no longer a focal point.
To be fair if I see Pods or Betts leading up and finding space between the wing and the 50 metre arc I'd be annoyed. One, they're not good at it and two they're far more effective from the square.

Walker too does his best work through the middle/between 30-50 metres out. Lynch works in a completely different area of the ground; one traditional forwards don't normally go to and midfielders steer clear of. He's a literal high half forward - instead of being the half forward who plays like an on baller or works as an extra attacking option in the 50, he actually plays as a 'half forward.'

Where Lynch excelled in '13 is IMO a situation where the addition of those three won't hinder it.

@TBNB - i've listed them somewhere in the thread. previous page, i think

I was referring to the forward line, rather than an exact area of the ground, but I see your point. You're crazy if you say it won't effect him at all though.
