Jack Lonie (born 13 August 1996) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the St Kilda Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
AFL career
Recruited from the Dandenong Stingrays in the TAC Cup,[1] Lonie was drafted by the St Kilda Football Club with their fourth selection and forty-first overall in the 2014 national draft.[2] He made his debut in the opening round of the 2015 season in the nine point loss to Greater Western Sydney at Etihad Stadium.[3] In his twelfth match, he recorded eighteen disposals, five inside-50s, three marks, two tackles and a goal in the 110-point win over Essendon at Etihad Stadium to earn the round fourteen nomination for the 2015 AFL Rising Star.[4]
During the 2016 season, Lonie was considered to have not played as well as he had in his debut season, as he played only 10 games, spending a large amount of the year playing for the VFL club Sandringham. Despite this, he drew positive attention for a three goal performance in the final round of the year[5]
In October 2018, Lonie signed a two year contract extension with St Kilda, keeping him at the club until at least the end of 2020. [6] During the 2019 season, Lonie's performance against the Western Bulldogs in round 18 was considered impressive.[7]
