Brad Lynch is ready to throw everything he has into 2018.

After a frustrating year limited by injury, the 20-year-old West Australian is promising when fit, with his speed and ability to use both sides of his body.

Lynch signed a contract extension in September and although he is yet to make his senior debut, he believes the challenges of his first two seasons at the Kennel will drive him in 2018.

“I just need to give everything I’ve got, it’s the same as every other year,” Lynch told westernbulldogs.com.au.

“I’m obviously maturing and getting bigger and hopefully kind of becoming a bit of a leader with the younger boys coming up.

“It was challenging because I’d never been injured before. I’d had a few rolled ankles here and there but this time round I’ve come back a lot better.

“Just doing the little things right will hopefully help me get there.”

Off-field Lynch is living with teammates Josh Schache and Bailey Dale and studying a Sports Management degree.

“A few of the boys have been getting into us about mucking up and not cleaning up after ourselves,” said Lynch.

“We’re doing pretty well at the moment, us three.”
