Lachlan Hosie (born 25 February 1997) is an Australian rules footballer who played for the North Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was recruited by the North Melbourne Football Club with the 5th draft pick in the 2019 AFL Midseason Rookie Draft.[1][2]

Early football

Hosie played junior football for the Henley Football Club, where he kicked a total of 77 goals in his 2014 season in the Under 18s.[3] Hosie also played for Glenelg in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), after being missing out on selection at the 2015 AFL draft.[4] Before his selection at the mid-season draft, Hosie was leading the goalkicking count in the 2019 SANFL season.[5][6]

AFL/later SANFL career

Hosie kicked 20 goals in 10 games for North Melbourne's reserves team, but he struggled to break into the team.[7] Hosie debuted in North Melbourne's 33-point loss to Geelong in the 10th round of the 2020 AFL season.[7] On debut, he kicked two goals in the opening quarter.[8] He also picked up 9 disposals, 2 tackles and a mark throughout the rest of the game.[9] Hosie was delisted by North Melbourne at the end of the 2020 AFL season after a mass delisting by North Melbourne which saw 11 players cut from the team's list.[10] Hosie then returned to Adelaide to again play for Glenelg. He was selected to represent South Australia against Western Australia in their interstate match in 2021.[11]

Hosie won the Ken Farmer Medal in 2023 for kicking the most goals in the SANFL for the 2023 season.[12]
