==Brisbane career==
 
Debuting with the [[Brisbane Bears]] in 1995, Lawrence was a solid [[Football (Australian rules) positions#Half-Backback Flankflank|half back flanker]] who enjoyed a solid career. He came back strongly after two [[knee reconstruction]]s, where he missed the entire 1996 season (and much of 1997). But he returned midway through 1997 to display incredible toughness in defence.
 
He was, however, criticised for being a bad influence on some players with his heavy drinking and partying lifestyle. He was criticised by [[Jason Akermanis]] on ''[[The AFL Footy Show|The Footy Show]]'', who later said that it was "no coincidence" that after Lawrence left the club at the end of 2000, the [[Brisbane Lions]] won a premiership the next year.
