Lynch delivered 90 in Richmond's 37-point home loss to Adelaide — that is premium output in a match where his team were comprehensively beaten, not garbage time. When your side loses by 37 and you still post 90, that is individual class. Doubles his 46 BE and keeps cash gen positive at $1,105/week. At $313.4k averaging 90, he is a mid-pricer punching at premium level. Buy if you do not own him; hold with conviction if you do.
