Tom Lynch was a reliable playmaker for Adelaide in 2018, averaging 19.5 disposals and collecting the equal-most goal assists at the Club with 14.

The experienced forward had a slow start to the season after missing the first two games but finished strong to rank fifth at the Club for marks with 97.

His gut-running and ability to read the play was on show in Adelaide’s Round Six clash with Gold Coast as he recorded 25 disposals, seven marks and three goals.

Lynch signed a three-year contract extension during the season meaning he will remain at Adelaide until at least the end of 2021.
