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. Line 30 ⟶ 43: ==St Kilda career== Lawrence was traded to [[St Kilda Football Club\|St Kilda]] in the [[2000 AFL Draft\|2000]] [[AFL Draft]], and was part of some aggressive recruiting by the Saints in that season. He was sacked from the Saints in 2003 after a drink-driving incident.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Marson \|first=Stephen \|date=2017-06-08 \|title=Former Saint recounts the unusual way in which he was sacked \|url=https://www.zerohanger.com/former-saint-recounts-unusual-way-sacked-12963/ \|access-date=2023-04-09 \|website=Zero Hanger \|language=en-US}}</ref> ~~==Sacking==~~ In 2003 Lawrence was involved in a car accident due to [[drink-driving]] and was immediately sacked by St Kilda. It was also around the time that coach [[Grant Thomas (footballer)\|Grant Thomas]] mentioned his "zero tolerance for mediocrity" policy, when [[Matthew Capuano]] was also sacked. ==VFL career== Line 41 ⟶ 50: In 2006, he was signed by the [[Port Melbourne Borough]] as part of a major recruitment drive for the club. ~~==Post-playing career==~~ Lawrence has coached the [[Caulfield Grammarians Football Club]] since 2008.<ref>The Herald Sun (2011).
