The out of contract forward kicked one behind and had two kicks out on the full. <\/p>\n
Yze felt it wasn\u2019t a night for forwards, insisting his veteran goal-kicker provided everything but the finishing touches.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that was the story of the night for a lot of guys, I think both teams were pretty inaccurate,\u201d Yze said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was pretty blustery, the third quarter Armageddon hit and the wind was swirling around, it\u2019s raining, slippery conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s bloody good to have the big guy back, he gives us a focal point, his contest work, his leadership in our front end.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s had a long time out, so for him to come back in and impact as he did in the air and create the contests we needed \u2026 it\u2019s a credit to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone that misses shots tonight in a close game is going to feel like you\u2019re left one out there, but like I said, both teams battled in front of goals I thought.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lynch has had an interrupted season through injury but has kicked more behinds than goals when he has got on the park.<\/p>\n
Yze rejected the skewed record being either mental or method for Lynch.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike I said, he\u2019s had a bit of time out. He had a shocker earlier in the year, he worked on it, so he\u2019ll just go through that process again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll do a lot of work now he\u2019s obviously back out at training and can do so, he\u2019s one of our most diligent out on the track, he\u2019ll stay out there, he\u2019ll be last to leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019re getting opportunity, that\u2019s the main thing, he\u2019ll work on the execution and polish now that he\u2019s back out there.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got no issue with that and will obviously help him through that but, like I said, it was pretty blustery.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yze confirmed a concussion for Jack Ross but said the midfielder showed positive signs in the rooms post game. <\/p>\n
