Bio
Lachlan Price is a strongly built prospect who came through the Manly Warringah Wolves to captain the Sydney Swans Academy. Tied to the Swans, who are fully expected to match any rival bids at the draft, Price enjoyed a standout 2026 campaign. He led Sydney to an undefeated run during their stint in the Talent League, putting up massive numbers across his appearances. A dominant outing against Tasmania showcased his ability to drive his legs and fend his way out of congestion, and he was subsequently rewarded with selection for the Allies at the National Championships.
Although categorised as a general defender, Price proved his versatility this year by playing extended minutes as a tough inside midfielder and forward. Scouts praise his ability to stand up in tackles, drag opponents with him, and generate run from stoppages. While not considered overly quick, his defensive pressure, high work rate and precise distribution when lowering his eyes going inside 50 make him a damaging player. As a compact and reliable ball winner who continues to add layers to his game, Price is widely expected to find a home at Sydney as a dependable academy selection.
