Early life
[edit]Gollant, a Melbourne native, attended both St. Bernard's College and Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School. He is a great-nephew of former North Melbourne captain Vic Lawrence and his biological father also had played for North Melbourne at under-19s level.[1]
A Calder Cannons recruit, Gollant was selected by Adelaide with the 48th pick of the 2019 national draft.[2]
AFL career
[edit]Gollant made his league debut in the final home and away round of the 2021 AFL season. In the first Showdown of 2022, Gollant kicked a career best four goals in Adelaide's after-the-siren win over Port Adelaide.[3]
Gollant was Adelaide's leading goalkicker in the SANFL in 2024. His season included an eight-goal game against West Adelaide, for which he was awarded with the Neil Kerley Trophy, given to the player best on ground in that fixture.[4] Gollant's performance was rewarded with a promotion to the AFL squad in round 23, replacing the injured Taylor Walker.[5]
