Matthew Lappin (born 17 February 1976) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the St Kilda Football Club and the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Lappin played in Chiltern's losing 1992 and 1993 O&KFL senior football grand final sides,[1] alongside his cousin, Nigel Lappin, prior to being picked up at number 40 by St. Kilda in the 1993 AFL draft. Debuting with St Kilda in 1994, Lappin was known as a half-back flanker.[citation needed]
Lappin played in 17 of 22 matches in the 1997 season home and away rounds in which St Kilda qualified in first position for the 1997 Finals Series, winning the club's 2nd minor premiership and 1st McClelland Trophy.[2]
At the end of the 1998 season, Lappin moved to Carlton, where in the first quarter of the club's round 1 match against Essendon he took a specky on the goal-line which would go on to win the Mark of the Year for 1999.[3]
Throughout his playing career, Lappin was recognised on the field due to his lightly built frame, for which he attracted the nickname "Skinny".[4]
Following his retirement from playing, Lappin remained with Carlton as an assistant coach, as well as acting as a playing assistant coach with the Northern Bullants (as a VFL- listed player). He served as Carlton's forward line coach from 2008 until 2010. In 2011, he shifted into an assistant coaching role at Collingwood.[5]
On 22 August 2015 Lappin played for the Gold Coast Suns reserves team as a result of the team's player shortages due to injuries.[6]
He then served as an AFL coach for the JLC at Hillcrest Christian College Queensland.
Lappin has since been signed on as the Southport Sharks QAFLW head coach for the 2025 season.
