He debuted with the Hawthorn Football Club midway through the 2001 season, but was not recalled til Round 20, where he then held his spot for the finals series.
Port Adelaide career (2006 - 2008)
After 64 games with the Hawks, Lonie was traded to Port Adelaide at the end of the 2005 season, where he became a regular first-team player.
