QUINTEN Lynch has made a habit of delivering long-range goals over his career and he delivered another in West Coast’s match against Essendon at Patersons Stadium.

Beau Waters took a mark just outside 50 midway through the first quarter and handpassed to Lynch, which set the key forward up perfectly.

Lynch kicked on the run from 60 metres out and didn’t hit it perfectly by his lofty standards, but did enough to sneak it in the goal.

Lynch’s goal gave the Eagles an early lead in a game where victory would see them move into the top four.
