Stats
Bio
Recruited from local side Princes Hill, Alan Thynne was a rover who broke into the Carlton lineup for the opening round of the 1949 season. Despite managing nine appearances in his debut year, the small forward found opportunities limited over the subsequent two seasons, adding just six more senior games to his tally as he struggled to command a permanent place in the Blues' rotation. Unable to consolidate his position at Princes Park, Thynne departed the VFL at the end of 1951 and continued his career in the VFA with Oakleigh.
