Football

Lockwood played mostly as a forward and spent his first three seasons in the VFL with Geelong, topping their goal kicking in 1900. He joined Collingwood in 1902 and was a member of the club's premiership side that year with three goals in their Grand Final win over Essendon. The following year he kicked a career best 35 goals and was both Collingwood's and the VFL's leading goal kicker, the latter earning him the Leading Goalkicker Medal. To cap off the season Lockwood played in another premiership side. In 1917, Lockwood officiated in a VFL game as a goal umpire.{{cite web| url=http://www.aflua.com.au/player_umpires#lockwood| title=Edward Lockwood| publisher=AFLUA| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130410043346/http://www.aflua.com.au/player_umpires#lockwood| archive-date=10 April 2013| df=dmy-all}}
