Rated among the best tall forwards in the 2020 NAB AFL Draft, the young Victorian was selected with Port Adelaide’s second selection. Lord was one of several Victorian teenagers who failed to play a game in their draft year because of the impacts of COVID-19. Standing at 195cm tall, Lord has been described as “green” but will develop and learn from leading big man Charlie Dixon at Alberton and develop alongside Todd Marshall and Mitch Georgiades in the forward line. Still adding bulk to his frame, Lord impressed with his marking ability and agility at ground level. And he comes from good roots. The Sandringham Dragons and Geelong Grammar product is the grandson of Geelong’s 1962 Brownlow medallist and 1963 premiership star Alistair Lord.
