Timeline

1968

Alastair Graeme Lynch (born 19 June 1968) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played in the Australian Football League (AFL).

He is best known as a three-time premiership full-forward for the Brisbane Lions.

The Tasmanian began his career in defence, where he became a leading goal-kicker for Fitzroy.

1986

Selected at pick 50 in the 1986 VFL Draft, Lynch began his senior football career at Fitzroy in 1988.

He signed his first contract on 5 February.

He was an intimidating player in defence, playing full-back and centre half-back.

1989

In his early years, his notable abilities were his strong marking (his outstanding aerial abilities were recognised when he won the 1989 Mark of the Year award) and heavy tackling.

His titanic battles with key forwards such as Tony Lockett were highlights, and Lockett has commented on Lynch being one of his toughest opponents.

1990

Lynch also played full-back in the 1990 Tasmanian State of Origin team, the first Tasmanian team to defeat Victoria in 30 years.

1993

He represented his home state at the elite level, and at the peak of his career in 1993 he was acknowledged as one of the league's best with All-Australian status.

However, he left a financially struggling Fitzroy to join the Brisbane Bears after the club's move from the Gold Coast.

With the merger of his former club Fitzroy and new club Brisbane, Lynch rejoined with former teammates and became club captain.

A long battle with chronic fatigue syndrome threatened his career; however, after many years in absence, Lynch's return to form at a relatively late age in his career was hailed by the football community, and he became part of Brisbane Lions' celebrated premiership winning formula.

Lynch holds the record for the most combined goals for the merged Brisbane-Fitzroy entity and one of the last remaining former Fitzroy players to play in the AFL.

In 1993, Fitzroy coach Robert Shaw moved Lynch to full-forward, where he led the club's goal-kicking with 68 goals in addition to winning the best and fairest award.

1994

In 1994, Lynch transferred to the Brisbane Bears.

At the time, the Brisbane Bears, like the Fitzroy Football Club, were experiencing lean times, but they were improving somewhat under the coaching of premiership coach Robert Walls.

The term of Lynch's contract, ten years, was unprecedented; at the time, it was considered by outsiders to be a great risk for the club.

Lynch came full of promise to the Bears.

In the early years, he became a poster-boy recruit for the struggling club, which lacked big name players.

In his first few games of the 1994 AFL season, Lynch had suffered a broken collarbone and knee surgery, making him unable deliver his best.

1995

In 1995, he contracted a mystery virus (which was later revealed that he was suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome), which sidelined him for the entire 1995 season.

Some commentators believe that if Lynch had played that season, the Bears could have won a premiership.

Others believed that Lynch contracted chronic fatigue when over-training during his rehabilitation from injury.

Lynch was one of the first sportspeople in Australia to experiment with the ice bath, which proved to assist in his recovery, and became a public figure for the illness which was struggling for credibility at the time.

After the illness Lynch rarely travelled to Perth, to play the Western Australian teams at home.

In his return the following season, the Bears, struggling for forward-line talent and with an increasingly talented back-line, first experimented playing Lynch up forward to relieve an ageing Roger Merrett with some success.

Successive seasons saw him interchanged between the two opposite ends of the ground.

1996

When Fitzroy merged with the Bears after the 1996 season to form the Brisbane Lions, Lynch was made a semi-permanent forward but was unable to perform at his peak for the next two seasons due to minor recurrence of his illness.

1997

Lynch was appointed as club co-captain with Michael Voss in 1997, a position that he held until 2000, when Voss assumed the full captaincy.

1998

Still struggling with intermittent lapses of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in 1998, Lynch discovered that the drug he had been prescribed at the beginning of the season, although with the permission of the Australian Sports Drug Agency (official AFL drug agents), had been added to the International Olympic Committee list of banned substances.

He took it upon himself to alert the AFL and was controversially charged for taking a prohibited substance before eventually being cleared.

1999

A new beginning for Lynch and the Lions came in 1999 under champion coach Leigh Matthews.

He played some games in defence but usually at full-forward.

Improvements in his strength, kicking for goal, and positioning during marking contests made him one of the most feared forwards in the competition.

2001

The Brisbane Lions enjoyed great success for the 2001, 2002, and 2003 seasons, with Lynch becoming a multiple goal-kicker against the game's most prominent full-backs, including Stephen Silvagni, Matthew Scarlett, and Shane Wakelin from Collingwood, Brisbane's ongoing rivals.

2018

With a passion for cricket, Lynch went on to represent Australia's Over 50's team in one match against England in 2018.

Lynch was born in Burnie, north-west coastal Tasmania, the son of Graeme and Mollie Lynch, where he attended Burnie High School.

He began playing football with Wynyard club where he played in the U17s and U19s before moving to Hobart.

In Hobart he played senior football with the Hobart Football Club under coach Peter Hudson.
