Sam Lonergan (born 26 March 1987), was a player with the Essendon and Richmond football clubs in the Australian Football League. He was drafted from the Launceston Blues, via the Tassie Mariners U18s and the Tasmanian Devils, with selection 50 in the 2005 Draft.
Lonergan captained the Allies (a composite team drawn from Tasmania, New South Wales, Queensland, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory), against Victoria during Grand Final week. In that game, he kicked five goals and was the leading possession winner on the ground. He also became the first player in the history of the Tassie Mariners U18s to win successive best and fairest awards. He also played eight games in 2005 for the Tasmanian Devils Football Club in the VFL competition.
Lonergan was chosen as Tasmania's most valuable player at the under-18 championships in 2005, and won the Tassie Mariners U18 Best & Fairest award that same year. He was also chosen in the under-18 All-Australian side.
After a 2012 season where he played 14 games and infamously broke the shoulder blade of Andrew Carrazzo; he was delisted by the Essendon Football Club on 30 October 2012. [1]
Lonergan was picked up by Richmond in the 2012 Rookie draft, played two games for the club in 2013 and retired at the end of that year.[2] Lonergan also supported Richmond while growing up.
He is the uncle of Gold Coast's Jesse Lonergan.
On 12 January 2016 Lonergan was named as one of 34 past and present Essendon players found guilty over their use of illegal supplements during the 2012 AFL season. As a result, Lonergan was suspended from playing at all levels for twelve months, effective from November 2015, however, as he has already retired, his suspension cannot be served.[3]
