BIO: Jock Landale was born in Geelong (VIC) and grew up in nearby Corio. He began playing basketball as a junior with the Geelong program, but drifted away from the sport before a significant growth spurt from Year 9 to Year 12, where he grew close to a foot, led him back to the game. He returned to play for Geelong’s Under-18 and Under-23 sides, re-establishing himself within the local pathway.
He was later selected alongside future NBL talent George Blagojevic in the Victorian under-20 team for the 2014 national championships, highlighting his rapid development during his late teenage years. Landale attended Geelong Grammar School, where strong performances at state-level tournaments helped him earn a scholarship offer from Saint Mary’s College in California.
NBL EXPERIENCE
Jock Landale made his NBL debut with the Melbourne United at 25 years of age. He scored 10 points in his first game.
After finishing fourth with a 15-13 record and losing its semifinal series to Sydney the previous season, Melbourne reshaped its roster after multiple seasons trying to get Casey Prather back onto the court, with United and Prather mutually agreeing to terminate the second season of his contract. Jack White (via Duke University) and Japanese star Yudai Baba were added, with Baba signing a one-year NBL Special Restricted Player contract, while captain Chris Goulding re-signed on a three-year deal, David Barlow on a one-year deal, Mason Peatling on a three-year deal and Sam McDaniel on a one-year deal. Scotty Hopson (via Europe) was signed as the team’s lone import.
Jock Landale completed Melbourne’s roster when he signed a one-year deal in December after leaving Žalgiris and missing out on the guaranteed NBA opportunity he had been pursuing. The deal made him the NBL’s highest-paid local player and included an NBA-out clause during the early portion of the season. “I’m also eager to win a championship at this level and for this club before turning my attention anywhere else,” said Landale.
Landale made his NBL debut at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on January 15, finishing with 10 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks as Melbourne defeated Adelaide 89-65. Lual-Acuil (16 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 steals) and Goulding (16 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals) led United alongside him, while Johnson (27 points and 5 rebounds) was Adelaide’s best.
Landale (16.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks across 41 games) quickly established himself as Melbourne’s leading scorer and rebounder during his only NBL season.
One of Landale’s strongest defensive performances came against South East Melbourne on March 10, where he finished with 22 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, and a season-high 5 blocks. Goulding (22 points and 2 steals) and McCarron (12 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists) also contributed, while Creek (31 points and 10 rebounds) led the Phoenix to a 97-92 overtime win at John Cain Arena.
Landale’s best all-round game came against Brisbane on April 12, finishing with 23 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks as Melbourne defeated the Bullets 98-89 for its seventh consecutive win. It was Landale’s fourth straight double-double, with Goulding (18 points and 3 rebounds) and Baba (16 points) providing support, while Sobey (30 points and 6 rebounds) led Brisbane.
Landale suffered his only injury-related absence of the season against New Zealand on April 28. After feeling discomfort in his right knee around the opening tip, Landale (0 points in 36 seconds) was removed as a precaution and took no further part, with Hopson (25 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals) and Lual-Acuil (23 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks) leading Melbourne to a 90-76 win, while Webster (20 points, 6 assists, and 3 steals) led the Breakers. “As a precaution, we pulled him out,” said Vickerman. The knee injury kept Landale out of Melbourne’s next game on May 2, his only missed game of the season, before he returned three days later.
Landale’s season-high scoring game came against South East Melbourne on May 8, where he had already produced 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks by three-quarter time as United defeated the Phoenix 93-82. Hopson (15 points and 3 rebounds) and Lual-Acuil (12 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks) provided support, while Le’afa (19 points and 3 steals) was South East Melbourne’s leading scorer.
Melbourne’s depth was tested throughout the season, with Goulding (15.7 points) missing six games with a calf strain and White (9.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks) suffering a season-ending Achilles injury in early April. Former United big man David Andersen (1.3 points across 6 games) was later signed as an injury replacement. Hopson (11.9 points and 3.5 rebounds), McCarron (9.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.4 steals), Lual-Acuil (9.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks), Baba (7.8 points), Ili (6.6 points) and Peatling (5.9 points and 4 rebounds) rounded out a deep United rotation. Landale was named to the All-NBL First Team, Goulding and McCarron earned All-NBL Second Team selections and Lual-Acuil was named the NBL’s Best Sixth Man, while Landale would also be named Melbourne United’s club MVP.
COVID restrictions forced Melbourne’s final regular-season game to be relocated from John Cain Arena to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, where Landale (19 points and 9 rebounds), Hopson (19 points) and Lual-Acuil (16 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks) led United to a 102-80 win over Adelaide, while Crocker (27 points and 5 rebounds) led the 36ers. Melbourne finished first with a 28-8 record, three games clear at the top of the ladder.
Victorian rivals South East Melbourne awaited in the semifinals, with the Victorian lockdown forcing all three games to be played at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena. Melbourne opened the series with a 96-78 win behind Landale (26 points) and Hopson (22 points), while Moore (17 points) and Creek (15 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals) led the Phoenix.
South East Melbourne responded in game two, defeating Melbourne 90-79 behind Sykes (26 points, 4 assists, and 3 steals), Creek (26 points and 4 rebounds) and Wetzell (20 points and 8 rebounds). Hopson (19 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 blocks), Goulding (14 points and 3 rebounds) and Lual-Acuil (11 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks) led Melbourne, while Landale (5 points and 3 rebounds) was held to his lowest scoring total of the season as the Phoenix forced a deciding game three.
Melbourne fell behind 32-15 early in the second quarter of game three before its defence locked in, holding South East Melbourne to 42 points the rest of the night while scoring 69 themselves. Landale (27 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks) equalled his season-high while shooting 11-13 from the floor and 3/3 from beyond the arc, while Goulding (14 points and 2 steals) played his 350th NBL game and McCarron (11 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists) helped United win 84-74. Te Rangi (22 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals), Creek (19 points and 9 rebounds) and Sykes (15 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists) led the Phoenix.

Western Australia’s border restrictions meant Perth, despite being the lower seed, hosted the first two games of the Grand Final series at RAC Arena, with league MVP Cotton (23.5 points, 5.6 assists, and 1.5 steals) sidelined through injury. Melbourne took game one 73-70 behind Goulding (23 points and 2 steals) and Landale (17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks), with Lual-Acuil (10 points and 7 rebounds) also contributing, while Blanchfield (27 points and 7 rebounds) and Mooney (8 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 steals) led Perth.
Game two remained at RAC Arena, where Goulding (21 points), Baba (15 points and 4 rebounds) and Landale (12 points, 17 rebounds, and 3 assists) helped Melbourne win 83-74 and take a 2-0 series lead. Mooney (17 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists), Blanchfield (13 points and 8 rebounds) and Norton (12 points) kept Perth within reach.
Melbourne returned home for game three in front of a crowd capped at 5,000 under COVID restrictions at John Cain Arena. Landale (15 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks) delivered a fadeaway jump shot in the final minute as Melbourne held off Perth 81-76, with Goulding (14 points and 4 rebounds) and Hopson (12 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals) helping complete the 3-0 sweep. Mooney (14 points and 13 rebounds), White (14 points) and Blanchfield (11 points and 11 rebounds) led the Wildcats as Melbourne claimed the franchise’s sixth championship and its second under the United branding. Landale was named Finals MVP.
Jock Landale played one season in the NBL. He averaged 16.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 41 NBL games.

In their opening pool, Australia was able to win all three games, defeating Canada (92–108), Senegal (81–68) and Lithuania (87-82). Behind the high scoring of Patty Mills (22.8 ppg), Aron Baynes (11.4 ppg) and Joe Ingles (10.5 ppg), the Boomers continued through the second round undefeated, notching up wins against Dominican Republic (82-76) and France (100-98). A victory of Czech Republic (82-70) in the Quarter-finals saw the Boomers face Spain in the semifinals in a rematch of the previous years Olympics bronze medal game. Spain trailed for much of the game but surged in the fourth quarter and took the lead 71-70 when Pau Gasol hit two free throws with 8.7 seconds to play in regulation. Mills had two free throws to win the game with 4.8 seconds to play, but he missed the second after making the first to send the game into overtime (71-71). Both teams had chances to win in regulation and in the first overtime, which ended 80-80. It was two 3-point shots by Llull in the second overtime that pushed Spain to one of its largest leads of the game to defeat Australia (95-88) and advance to the gold medal game against the USA.

In that 2017 NCAA Tournament run, Landale delivered an 18-point, 13-rebound double-double in the Round of 64 win over VCU, then played 40 minutes as Saint Mary’s advanced to the Round of 32.
Saint Mary’s season ended in the second round against Arizona, with Landale leading the Gaels with 19 points and 11 rebounds in the 69–60 loss in Salt Lake City.
As a senior in 2017–18, Landale took another leap statistically and nationally, averaging 21.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks while being named West Coast Conference Player of the Year and First Team All-WCC, and he was also a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award top-five finalist while adding major national recognition including NABC First Team and USBWA Second Team All-American honours.
That senior year included multiple landmark single-game outputs and record notes tracked by Saint Mary’s, including a career-high 37 points and 18 rebounds against Sacramento State, a 34-point game at San Diego, a 33-point, 12-rebound night against Georgia, and a Gaels single-season record 731 points, while his WCC résumé also featured a 26-point, 12-rebound double-double in the marquee 74–71 win at No. 13 Gonzaga.
