Lachlan Murphy (born 4 December 1998) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was drafted by Adelaide with their third selection and thirty-eighth overall in the 2018 rookie draft.[1] He made his debut in the twelve point loss to Essendon at Etihad Stadium in the opening round of the 2018 season.[2]

Early life

Murphy grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Diamond Creek. He started at Auskick level[3] with Diamond Creek Junior Football Club and attended primary school at Sacred Heart in Diamond Creek, Victoria. He went to high school at Ivanhoe Grammar School. He grew up as a Collingwood supporter.

Murphy was the inaugural winner of the Brent Harvey Medal, awarded to the best and fairest player for the Northern Knights TAC Cup team in 2016.

Adelaide's reserves team signed Murphy in 2017 so that he could train with the AFL squad. While playing for the Crows in the SANFL (South Australian National Football League), Murphy worked part-time at the Crows' merchandise store in West Lakes. He was drafted as a rookie the following year.[4]

AFL career

After debuting with Adelaide in 2018, Murphy became a regular in Adelaide's squad, eventually playing all but one game in Adelaide's 2023 season when the Crows were pushing for finals.

For his on-field perseverance, he was rewarded with an elevation into the senior side's leadership group prior to the 2024 season.[4] He became the 60th Crow to play 100 games in round 2 of the same year.
