It was a case of 12th time lucky for dual Richmond premiership star key forward Tom Lynch in yesterday’s clash with Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.
Lynch broke through for his first win against the Crows after 11 losses at their hands.
Nine of those defeats were when Lynch was playing with Gold Coast, followed by two at Richmond before the breakthrough Round 2, 2023 twilight encounter.
The reigning Jack Dyer Medallist played a significant role in the team’s 32-point victory over Adelaide, taking eight marks, including an equal game-high four contested grabs, and booting an equal game-high three goals.
He has six goals after two rounds of the 2023 season and is now only one goal away from the 200-goal milestone with Richmond.
Overall, Lynch has scored 453 goals in his 214 games of AFL football (131 with Gold Coast, 83 for Richmond).
