Playing career

Australian rules football

Stynes saw the success that his older brother Jim (who won the All-Ireland minor football championship with Dublin in 1984) had in Australian rules football's Australian Football League, and was recruited to his brother's club, Melbourne. He debuted in 1992 and at 190 cm was touted as a possible key position player, but his career in the AFL did not blossom, and he played only two games for no goals. In 1993, he played for Victorian Football Association club Port Melbourne, and was part of the club's losing 1993 Grand Final team.[1]

His brother David Stynes represented Ireland in Australian rules football at both the 2002 Australian Football International Cup (when Ireland won the cup) and also the 2005 Australian Football International Cup.

gollark: You can actually run it in one of the many CC emulators which run out of the game, too, and this is where I do much of the testing.
gollark: Also it's entirely stored on pastebin and has no version control and is split across probably 15 different files.
gollark: I added a thing where I can remote into potatOS computers for... definitely debugging purposes... and run code, which makes it much easier to patch sandbox escapes where silly triangles don't release the code.
