Hawthorn is falling behind in the chase for out of contract Gold Coast forward Tom Lynch, according to the Herald Sun’s Sam Edmund.
The Hawks, along with Collingwood and Richmond, have been the three clubs reportedly interested in Lynch, and Edmund has updated how the race is going.
SEN Breakfast with Garry Lyon and Tim Watson can be heard Monday-Friday 6-9am, and you can subscribe to the podcast here.
“Tom Lynch and Collingwood is the pairing that we keep hearing over and over again,” he told SEN Breakfast.
“Hawthorn, apparently, he is not interested in Hawthorn.”
Edmund also says Jake Lloyd, who is out of contract at the end of the season, is facing some financial barriers at Sydney.
“Jake Lloyd, unhappy up at the Swans with a contract offer that has been made his way,” he said.
“He wants some more and a new offer is not great either.”
Former Melbourne captain Garry Lyon says the Swans offered Lloyd “thin sheets”.
Defender Nic Newman is also “unhappy” at the Swans, according to Edmund.
