Lovett was recruited to the Melbourne Under 19s in <1986>. He lived in the residential zone but ignored invitations to their junior squads. When VFL rules changed to make unlisted players free agents he chose to go to the team he'd followed as a kid. In <1986> he also played Teal Cup for Victoria and games, before making his senior debut in <1987>.
After two games in his rookie season, Lovett missed all of <1988>, and added just five games in <1989>. It took until <1991> to cement his spot in the side, playing as a wingman and half-back, but his poor run with injuries continued, a broken wrist ended his season after Round 15. The next two years were his best, winning the <1992> Best and Fairest, then finishing second the following year. In <1993>, now playing as an on-baller, he played for Victoria.
Injuries struck Lovett again in <1994>, with hamstring and back trouble keeping him out of pre-season and restricting him to 11 games. He played 47 games over the next three years, but missed six weeks with a broken wrist in <1996>, before hamstring trouble restricted him to two games across <1998> and <1999>, retiring midway through <1999> after suffering the injury again.
