Bio
Recruited from Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula, Jack Lyons earned his opportunity with Geelong during the 1934 VFL season. Joining a formidable Cats lineup that would eventually finish second on the ladder, the 180cm recruit faced a difficult task breaking into a side packed with established talent. He made his senior debut in Round 11 against Fitzroy, managing to boot a goal during his brief three-game stint at the top level. Lyons was unable to cement a permanent spot in the rotation and did not feature in the club's finals campaign that year, ultimately leaving the VFL scene after a single season to return to local football.
