A Brownlow Medallist in 1991, Stynes was one of Melbourne's best ever players, and is a member of their Team of the Century and is in the AFL Hall of Fame.
A four-time best and fairest winner (1991, 1995, 1996, 1997) and two-time All-Australian (1991, 1993), Stynes played 264 games for Melbourne over 12 fantastic seasons with the club.
In 2009, while he was the President of the Melbourne Football Club, Stynes announced he had developed cancer. After a three-year battle, Stynes passed away in 2012, aged 45.
