Bio: Lynch is a hard working tall forward with a strong attack on the ball. His speed and endurance combination are an asset. Lynch was a Vic Metro Under-18 representative and AIS/AFL Academy graduate in 2008.

Jason McCartney says: I think Lynchy had an outstanding year from where he was coming from. He had an ACL the year before and his preparation was unbelievable throughout his time at the Academy, with a real attention to detail with his training.

I thought it might have been good to let him play at centre half-back and just let him play his way into some form, but he played at half-forward and did very well. When he does play down back I thought he read the play very well and he was good with his hands and had the ability to cut across in front of traffic. I could see him fitting in as a third forward type, but with his endurance he could even play through the middle.
