AFL career

Lycett was taken by the West Coast Eagles in the second round of the 2010 National Draft with pick #29. He was originally expected to be taken with pick #16 by Port Adelaide, but was overlooked by the club.[6]

Lycett made his pre-season debut for the club in round one of the 2011 NAB Cup against Hawthorn.[7]

He was assigned to Peel Thunder in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), making his debut in round 3 of the 2011 season against Claremont.[8] He played 15 consecutive games from round 3 to round 18, kicking 12 goals.

Lycett made his debut for the West Coast Eagles in round 19, 2011, after both Josh Kennedy and Nic Naitanui withdrew due to injury.[9] He kicked two goals on debut, including a goal with his first kick.

After playing in West Coast's 2018 premiership triumph, Lycett moved to Port Adelaide under the AFL's free agency rules.[10]
