As a second year rookie, he was promoted to Geelong's senior list for the remainder of the 2004 season, replacing
The speedy-left footer had an inconsistent season in 2006, with fluctuating form, and the inability to break into a strong team seeing him being put in and out of the playing squad. In 2007, Byrnes very strong form at VFL level could not be ignored, he found his way in to the senior team at the right end of the season and was a part of the 2007 Premiership team, picking up 14 disposals and kicking one goal.
After a lacklustre season in 2008 and missing out on playing finals, he produced the best year of his career to date in 2009 kicking 32 goals 11 behinds for the season. He cemented a spot in the team, missing only two games due to injury, and was picked to play in the 2009 AFL Grand Final, where he had 16 possessions, kicked one goal and became a two-time premiership player. He backed up this year with another very good year in 2010 kicking 35 goals for the season.
In 2011 he only played five games, in an injury plagued year missing most of the season due to knee and calf injuries.[1] He was selected as an emergency for the 2011 AFL Grand Final, but despite there being some injury concerns over Steve Johnson,[2] he was not called up to the final team.
Byrnes announced his retirement on 30 July 2014, effective immediately.
