Shannon Byrnes (born 7 April 1984) is an Australian Rules Football player for the Geelong Football Club.

Career

Byrnes was recruited from the Murray Bushrangers and was the last draftee selected by the Geelong Football Club in the AFL rookie draft in 2002. He was given the guernsey number 46, but changed it to 17 at the start of the 2005 season. Byrnes also wore the #10 guernsey when he co-captained the Murray Bushrangers.

As a second year rookie, he was promoted to Geelong's senior list for the remainder of the 2004 season, replacing James Kelly who was out for the rest of the year after breaking his leg against the West Coast Eagles.

Byrnes competed in the 2005 AFL Grand Final sprint, coming in third place, and represented Geelong again in 2006, coming fifth in the handicapped heat, causing him to be ineligible to run in the final sprint.

In 2005, he finished 21st in Geelong's Best & Fairest count and improved in 2006 by moving up two notches to 19th despite playing nine less games that season. The speedy-left footer had an inconsistent season in 2006, with fluctuating form, failure to convert in front of goals and the inability to break into a strong team seeing him being put in and out of the playing squad. In 2007, Byrnes was a part of the 2007 Premiership team, picking up 14 disposals and kicking one goal.

Byrnes has also polled a total of four Brownlow votes, polling two votes each in the 2005 and 2007 medal counts.

He will look to impose himself as a prominent player for the Geelong Football Club in the future, and is contracted until the end of season 2008.
