Selected at Pick 9 in the 2024 Draft with a lengthy list of StreetSmarts SUNS Academy accolades and plenty of VFL experience, the 19-year-old is set to soar at the SUNS. Although a shoulder injury hampered his first season, the tough and combative midfielder who can also cause damage as a forward made his mark with his first major on debut. In the VFL Lombard played a key role averaging 25.2 disposals and five tackles, only dipping below 20 once and peaking with 35 (10 contested), five clearances and seven tackles in round 16 and 31 touches, eight tackles and eight inside-50s the following week.
