Tom Lynch yet again highlighted his importance within the Richmond line-up in yesterday’s stirring come-from-behind victory over Brisbane at the MCG.

The dual premiership Tiger star key forward, who had missed the previous two games because of a hamstring injury, played a major role in the team’s stunning turnaround.

He imposed himself on the contest in powerful fashion and kicked four inspirational second-half goals to help lift the Tigers over the line.
